Text Box

The textbox is a callout meant to highlight important information on a page. It is offset from standard body text and used to differentiate special information.

Considerations

  • Do: Use a textbox to draw attention to key information, new terms, etc.
  • Do: Use a heading inside the text box to indicate the purpose of the text box.
  • Do: Limit the amount of text you put in a callout—the shorter it is, the more likely it will be read.
  • Do: Use a callout box as a clear call to action in the form of a link or task.
  • Don't: Use a callout box for decoration purposes.
  • Don't: Change fonts or reduce sizes in order to fit more words inside the textbox.
  • Don't: Use text colors that are light because they have low contrast.
  • Don't: Use a separate callout for each paragraph of text on the page.
