Contact card

The contact card pattern is used to display contact information about an individual which may link to additional information. If the main goal is to display contact information this pattern should be used, however if the primary aim is to provide biographical information about an individual then the Staff Profile pattern should be considered.

Rules for contact cards

  • Contact cards may appear solo or grouped as a stacked list, they must not appear side by side.
  • Contact cards must take up the full width of the design's available space, if the width of a contact card is less than 600px.
  • Photographs must be headshots of the individual named in the card and of professional quality.
  • Images should be cropped square at 180px wide and 180px high.
  • If a suitable image is not available then the initials of the individual should be used.
  • The full name of the individual must be displayed.
  • Cards may link to additional information on a specific individual but this usage must be consistent within a list of contacts. For example if one card links to a lightbox then all other linked cards in that list must also use the lightbox method.

Options available


Contact card

This example shows all available content that may be included on a card.

  • Only the image or initials and the full name are required.
  • The optional secondary headings should be used to specify the organisational position and role of the individual.
  • The optional short paragraph of supporting text can be used to provide additional context for the individual - to help a user identify the correct person to contact.
  • The optional phone and email entries must link to valid phone numbers and email addresses.
  • The list of linked tags can be used to convey additional information on an individual.
  • The number of tags for a card should be no larger than five.
  • The usage of tags should be introduced before the contact cards, if the tag values used do not immediately convey their purpose.
Example

Unit name, Team name

Linked contact card with lightbox

Contact cards can also be used to link to further details of the individual. This example opens a lightbox with further details, but the link could also navigate to a new page if desired.

  • The content shown in the lightbox must, as a minimum, include all the information available from the selected contact card.
  • Additional information may be added to the lightbox with appropriate heading labels.

Contact card list

This example shows a list of contact cards that contains a mixture of available information. These contact cards link to a different url rather than opening a lightbox.

  • If tags are used in a list of contact cards then their meaning should be consistent. In this example the tags are used to show the areas of expertise of each individual.
Example
Code



Contact card list with lazyload

This example shows a list of contact cards that makes use of the available lazyload feature to only load the images when they are about to be viewed. This reduces the amount of data downloaded by the browser, thus improving performance, and would be useful for lengthy contact card lists that may contain a large number of images.
