Buttons

Grid placement + width

Full width buttons

Buttons can be placed in grids of 4, 3, 2 across.

Use full width buttons to:

  • Increase button prominence
  • Balance content when used with column dividers

Constrained width buttons

The width of the buttons in the grid can be constrained to the width of the longest text string by checking the fluid width setting.

Buttons in this style can appear in the same grids as shown above with 2-4 columns.

Used constrained width buttons:

  • If the buttons appear in the first section on the page
  • If the button(s) appear in a featured story component

Fill button

This type of button is used to represent key appointing actions. It can be viewed across the website. It is the most prominent and bold of the UW Medicine button styles intended to cleanly, clearly drive action. It can be found in the split hero component and text grids on the website.

It is blue in color to help repeat users associate it with common actions core to scheduling an appointment.

Capitalization

As shown above, buttons in this style should be sentence case.

The only time all characters in fill button style should be capitalized, is if it appears within a provider or location card or directly below a row of cards.

The button text is capitalized in cards and directly below them, so all buttons in the cards have consistent text styling, as these cards incorporate a full-width outline button where text is automatically capitalized, and which was the only button style in use when the cards were originally created.

Location or provider card use

Split hero use

Location page use

Text grid use

Homepage buttons

On the homepage the fill button style is represented at a larger scale and with a different color, to enable a high degree of readability when placed against the hero image at the top of the page.
