Contact Component
Connect with your audience
If website content is intended for the site visitor to put into action, contact information should be the easiest to access and act on. The Contact (Standard) component displays department, program, or campus contact information in a modular format. It includes up to three optional sections:
- Primary Card – Rich text with a CTA link
- Social Media Card – Links to official SHSU social media accounts
- Custom Cards – Two cards that can display additional information such as phone numbers, email addresses, or office hours
Editors can create page-specific contact content or select a reusable block that can be shared across multiple pages for consistency. Always using a contact component helps search engines and AI bots identify appropriate contact information.
Required Fields
- Headline
- If using the Primary Card:
- Address or other text
- CTA link
- If using the Custom Cards:
- 2 card headlines
- 2 card descriptions
Character Limits
- Headline: 35 characters
- Card Headlines: 20 characters each
Usage Guidelines
- Placement: Use at the bottom of department and administrative pages on SHSU.edu, especially those with sidebar menus.
- Clarity: Keep labels short and clear (e.g., “Phone” or “Email”).
- Consistency: Always use official addresses, links, and accounts.
- Flexibility: Choose between page-specific content or reusable blocks to balance customization with efficiency.
Key Takeaway
The Contact (Standard) component ensures visitors can quickly connect with the right department or office. Its modular and reusable design makes it both flexible for editors and reliable for prospective students.
