Wells are used to highlight specific information within a designated section of a page. This breaks up the flow of content on the page and helps to emphasize and set apart the content that is included. They are generally used on browse, learn, and document detail pages.

Use cases

Grey wells should be used to feature content or specific calls to action. They will help visually set apart the content within it, so use sparingly to draw attention to that content.

Ideally, content within a well should not take up more than a third of page content.

Guidelines

Wells should generally be text-based. If content must include imagery or videos, use the featured content module instead.

Examples of types of content to include:

Headings (H2 - H5). Headings should be as succinct as possible and 35 characters or less (including spaces)
Text (including bullets and numbered lists). Text should be succinct.
