Usage

Guidance

Do
  • use steps to draw a connection for the user between linear pieces of information
  • use steps for steps or stages of a process
  • use steps for sequential dates or outcomes.
Don't
  • use steps when content doesn't come together in sequential or linear order; consider bullet points instead.

Step types

Steps use colours from your brand palette, displayed as outlined or filled. Counters can also be added where they correspond to the content. Colour selection should take into considertation the contrast with the content background.

Based on your heading class, small and medium sized steps are available to ensure the component remains visually balance.

Accessibility

All components are responsive and designed to comply with WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standards. Full compliance depends on using and configuring the components correctly.
