Call-to-action buttons

  Note that this page refers to home page templates prior to the 2019 university rebrand. New websites will use the rebranded style. If you'd like to update your existing home page template to the rebranded template, contact us.


Call-to-action buttons are a set of buttons that appear on a home page below the sliding banner images. The purpose of the call-to-action buttons is to attract attention to a particular topic. 

You can have up to four call-to-action buttons on the home page. The width of the buttons will always be evenly distributed across the page.

For example:

four call-to-action buttons:
