Generic highlight button

  • The Generic highlight button template is used to draw attention to an important link on a page.
  • It can only be used in the right hand column 
  • It performs a similar function to the Call to action template which can be used to display up to three links. 
  • On screen sizes under 768 pixels the Generic Highlight button will appear below the main column content (the Call to action links appear above). 
  • Links will automatically have Google Analytics tracking code added to them.
  • Typically they will be styled to stand out on a page.
  • They are normally used for important calls to action such as the 'Apply' buttons on our prospective student facing pages.
  • They should be used sparingly.
