Designing content for Canada.ca

- -

When you design content for Canada.ca, you design for people. The goal is to help people get what they need from the government.

- - -
- - -
-

On this page

- -
- -
- - -

Focus on the task

- -

First, determine the task at hand: what is it that users are trying to do when they get to the page or set of webpages?

- -

Tasks can be things like:

- -
    -
  • apply for a benefit
    • -
  • get a copy of an official document
    • -
  • check the weather
    • -
  • look for jobs
    • -
  • find out if a business name is available
    • -
- -

One question should drive all design decisions: does it help people succeed in completing the task?

- - - - - -

Design for trust

- -

Using a consistent look throughout the Government of Canada web presence is crucial to building a trustworthy experience for people. People need to know they'll find information they can trust.

- -

Use the mandatory elements of the Canada.ca design system to implement this trusted brand.

- -

The mandatory elements you need to follow are:

- -
    -
  • Canada.ca domain
    • -
  • mandatory styles (typography, colours and layouts)
    • -
  • standard header and footer
    • -
  • a handful of high-level mandatory templates to establish a consistent institutional presence and the Canada.ca topic tree
    • -
- -

Once you've applied this uniform brand, you can still use creativity within the body of the page to come up with the best design to help people complete their tasks.

- - - - - - -

Design for findability

-

People can’t succeed at a task if they can’t find where to initiate it.

-

To improve findability, you can work on:

-
    -
  • navigation
    • -
  • internal and external search
    • -
- -

Navigation

- -

Some people will navigate to their task on the Canada.ca site. To support this, making a clear path for people's tasks is crucial. That means planning your navigation structure and taking time to understand what labels will work best for your audience.

- - - -

Internal and external search

-

Some people will search on Canada.ca or external search engines.

-

Using the right keywords and organizing your content properly can help improve search results. Adding structured data can also be a useful technique.

- - - -

Design for comprehension

- -

Once people find the page they need, they have to be able to understand what they read. The way we write and the words we use make an enormous difference.

- - - -

Design for usability

-

Use patterns and layouts that will make it easy for people to complete their tasks. This could be simple text, a filterable table, a button, an interactive checklist or other patterns.

- -

If you can't find an existing pattern or template in the library that does everything you need, you can get creative as long as you respect the mandatory elements of the design system. If your solution works well, we may add it to the Canada.ca design system for others to use when they have similar needs.

- -

Do usability testing to make sure your design really does help people complete their tasks.

- - - -

Design for accessibility and inclusivity

- -

Accessibility and inclusivity have to be at the forefront of your design. Just like translation, accessibility and inclusivity are non-negotiable.

- -

Make sure your design is accessible as you develop it, not as an after-thought.

- -

The Standard on Web Accessibility requires all GC web pages to meet level AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG ) 2.0 requirements.

-

But this is only the minimum standard: if possible, shoot for AAA and WCAG 2.1 requirements.

Two approaches can be used:

- -
-
-

What to avoid

-

Do not use the Canada.ca domain for collaborative sites where the Government of Canada is not the main partner.

-
-
-

How to implement

-

Carousels - Canada.ca design pattern

- - - - -
- -
- -

Responsive carousels are in-page components used to display multiple different items within the same content space.

-
- -

When to use this pattern

-

Use this component for situations such as image or video galleries.

- -
-
- -

What to avoid

-

Don't use this component:

-
    -
  • to promote activities and initiatives
    • -
  • when a person’s flow must not be interrupted, as in a transactional process
    • -
  • when it would duplicate content from other components on the page
    • -
-
-
-

How to use this pattern

-
    -
  • Responsive carousels are a set of 2 to 4 rotating slides that refresh on page load, with user-controls to rotate through the slides and to toggle to auto-rotation
    • -
  • The default controls for stepping through the slides are thumbnails for large screens and forward/back buttons, including an “Item X of X” message for small screens
    • -
  • When auto-play is activated, the default slide for the start of auto-rotation is slide one
    • -
  • The default timing for auto-rotation is 9 seconds per slide
    • -
  • The default style for transitioning between slides is horizontal sliding transition, starting from the right edge
    • -
  • Carousels may be implemented at various sizes, ranging from a single column to the full width of the screen
    • -
  • Each slide is made up of a combination of text and imagery, with the option to add a button link
    • -
  • Both text and imagery must be linked, but all links in the carousel slide must point to the same destination
    • -
  • Any call to action must be described in the hyperlink text or button link
    • -
  • A maximum of 65 characters is allowed for all of the text on a carousel slide (including link label)
    • -
  • Textual elements must be coded as HTML text—do not embed text into imagery
    • -
  • Use the defined presentation classes included in the Canada.ca WET theme
    • -
  • For image sizing details, consult the Canada.ca GitHub page
    • -

Charts and graphs - Canada.ca design pattern

- - - - -
- - - -

From: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

- -
-

Charts and graphs are visualization techniques for communicating data or statistics.

-
-

When to use this pattern

-
    -
  • Use charts and graphs to communicate data more efficiently than in text or tables, when there are multiple data points to be presented
    • -
  • Do not use charts and graphs when the data set is simple enough to be presented as a table, such as when there are few data points
    • -
-
-
-

How to use this pattern

-
    -
  • Where possible, use WET 4 charts and graphs, rather than flat images
    • -
  • Always include data points as tabular data accompanying charts or graphs -
      -
    • it is recommended to provide an expandable table with tabular data immediately underneath the figure
      • -
    -
    • -
  • Size and place charts and graphs appropriately for the context they are in -
      -
    • they must appear connected to the related content
      • -
    -
    • -
  • Do not place charts and graphs in line with text blocks such as in a paragraph; rather, place them in between text blocks
    • -
  • Maximize available space to enhance readability
    • -
  • Keep charts and graphs as simple as possible
    • -

Checkboxes and radio buttons: Canada.ca design system

-
-
-
    -
  • Last updated: 2021-06-02
    • -
-
-
-
-

Checkboxes and radio buttons are form controls. They help people select an answer to a question or confirm completion.

-

Large checkboxes and radio buttons are easier to select and use, particularly on mobile devices.

- -
-

On this page

- -
-
-

When to use

-

Checkboxes and radio buttons should be used in interactive questions, like in application forms or wizards:

- -
-
-

What to avoid

-

Don't use checkboxes or radio buttons to present options that are not easily comparable. In these cases, use the Services and information (doormat) pattern:

- -

For a stand alone question with few options and a manageable amount of content per option that does not require separate pages, use expand/collapse or tabs instead:

- -
-
-

How to implement

-

Large checkboxes

-

When to use: Large checkboxes are the recommended checkbox pattern. In particular, large checkboxes should be used when one or more selections can be made to answer a question.

-

What to avoid: Don't use the large checkboxes when building a checklist with items that break across multiple lines or when only a single item can be checked. For these situations, use tickboxes instead.

-
-

Large checkboxes target with explicit labels

Tickboxes (smaller checkboxes)

-

When to use: Only use tickboxes when there is a single item that can be checked, such as for confirmations.

-

What to avoid: Don't use tickboxes for answers to questions or in checklists. For these situations, use the large checkboxes instead:

- -

Consider using a button instead of tickbox, particularly in cases where it is the primary action or next step on the page:

Expand/Collapse - Canada.ca design pattern

- - - - -
- - - -

From: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

- -

The expand/collapse pattern (also known as accordion) allows content to be hidden until requested. The pattern consists of a trigger link that shows or hides the content.

-
-

Example:

-
- You must click on this area to expand and collapse the content -

This text is hidden until it is revealed.

-
-
-

On this page

- -
- -

When to use

-

The expand/collapse pattern can be used in 2 situations:

- -

1. Presenting a choice between mutually exclusive answers

-

Use this pattern when people need to get different answers depending on their situation and when these answers are mutually exclusive.

-

This reduces the risk of having people wrongly think they got the answer that applies to their situation.

-

2. Presenting secondary information

-

Use this pattern to prevent secondary content from interfering with the main task.

-

This can be content that applies to most people, but that only a few people may need to use (for example, a privacy statement or additional details not needed to accomplish the main task).

-

It can also be content that applies only to a minority of people (such as when there is specific information for a specific audience).

-
-
-

What to avoid

- -

Don't use this pattern if:

-
    -
  • the majority of people need the content to accomplish the main task (unless the answers are mutually exclusive)
    • -
  • people need to answer several questions to get the answer that applies to them (use interactive questions instead)
    • -
  • one of the mutually exclusive answers has multiple sub-tasks or more than one page of supporting content (use interactive questions instead)
    • -
- - -
-
-

How to implement

-

Presenting a choice between mutually exclusive answers

-
-

Determine if you are in a shared custody situation

-

Does the child spend their time:

-
    -
  • -
    - about equally between both parents -

    If the child shares their time about equally between the parents, then both parents are considered to have shared custody of that child...

    -
    -
    • -
  • -
    - mostly with you -

    If the child lives with you most of the time, you are considered to have primary custody for the purposes of the Canada child benefit...

    -
    -
    • -
  • -
    - mostly with the other parent -

    If the child lives with the other parent most of the time, the other parent is considered to have primary custody for the purposes of the Canada child benefit...

    -
    -
    • -
-
- -

Estimate your payments

-

Use the estimator to help you plan your budget.

-

For example, you can estimate what amount you would get if:

-
    -
  • you have a new child
    • -
  • your income changes
    • -
  • you start or end shared custody
    • -
-
- See the math behind Canada child benefit payments -

How are payments calculated

-

Every month, Canada child benefit payments are adjusted based on:

-
    -
  • the number of children in your care
    • -
  • the age of your children
    • -
  • your marital status
    • -
  • your family net income from the previous year
    • -
-

Contact information - Canada.ca design pattern

- - - - -
- - - -

From: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

- -
-

There are 2 patterns for presenting contact information on Canada.ca pages. The contact information pattern is a standardized block that presents the street or mailing address, email address and telephone numbers, while the contact links pattern presents links to contact pages.

-
-

When to use this pattern

-
    -
  • Present contact information consistently in a variety of contexts
    • -
  • Provide access to multiple contact options.
    • -
-
-
-

How to use this pattern

-
    -
  • The heading is “Contact us”
    • -
  • Do not add borders to this block -
      -
    • the aim is to reduce visual noise and avoid “banner blindness” (where people automatically interpret content in boxes as ads)
      • -
    -
    • -
  • For the contact address pattern: -
      -
    • when street or mailing address information is available, place it first, followed by other contact channels
      • -
    • follow the Canada.ca Content Style Guide when writing text for this block
      • -
    • label telephone, email, TTY, etc., numbers appropriately, for example “Telephone:” for a telephone number
      • -
    • where possible, the email link must point to a web form rather than presenting a mailto link
      • -
    -
    • -
  • For the contact links pattern: -
      -
    • use standard link styles
      • -
    • use bullets, not numbered lists
      • -
    • links point to contact pages (see the Contact us templates section)
      • -
    -
    • -
-

Contextual alerts: Canada.ca design system

-
-
-
    -
  • Last updated: 2022-08-24
    • -
-
-
-
-

Alerts are short, prominent notices meant to draw attention to an important message or change. They are often time-sensitive. The label, colour, and icon indicate the type of message and its urgency.

-
-
-

Alert heading

-

Alert description

-
-
-
-

On this page

- -
-
-

When to use

-

Use contextual alerts to:

-
    -
  • bring a person’s attention to an important change at the page or subsection level like a service or site outage
    • -
  • draw attention to important recent or upcoming changes to a process or service
    • -
  • provide the result of a user-action, for example, confirm success, or notify a person of an error
    • -
  • warn a person of a consequence of an action or inaction related to their task
    • -
-

To use contextual alerts during urgent service disruptions, follow these guidelines:

- -
-
-

What to avoid

-

Do not use contextual alerts:

-

How to implement

-

Write alert text for a grade 6 to 8 reading level.

-

Keep alert text very brief. Provide further details in the appropriate section or page.

-

Remove alert text once the issue is resolved or enough time has passed that the information provided is no longer new.

-

Strictly limit the number of alerts on the page to avoid alert fatigue.

-

Place the alert in the appropriate context:

-
-
Applies to the entire site
-
Place it at the top of the page above the main heading
-
Applies to the page
-
Place it underneath the page heading
-
Applies to a subsection of the page
-
Place it within that subsection, generally underneath the subsection heading or between 2 paragraphs
-
-

Use the appropriate type of alert:

-
    -
  1. Danger alert
    2. -
  2. Warning alert
    3. -
  3. Info alert
    4. -
  4. Success alert
    5. -
-

1. Danger alert

-

Date modified: Canada.ca design - pattern

- - - - - -
- - - -

From: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat -

-
- -
-
-
-

Mandatory on all pages

- -

The date modified component indicates how recently the content of a web page has been updated.

-
-
Date modified section
- Screenshot of a webpage: button labeled 'Report a problem on this page' appears on the left. 'Share this page' appears on the right, and 'Date modified: 2017-12-05' appears highlighted below. - -
-
-
-

Objectives

-

Use the date modified component to provide a person with the date that the content was last updated.

-
-
-

When to use the Date modified pattern

-

The Date modified pattern is mandatory on all pages. In applications, it can be replaced by a version number. For - more information, go to the Mandatory - elements of the design system.

-
-
-

When to update the Date modified

-

This component:

-
    -
  • should generally only be updated when significant content changes occur
    • -
  • should generally not be updated for corrections to typographical errors or changes to the underlying HTML code -
    • -
  • can be updated manually to signify that the content has been fully reviewed and is still valid as of that date -
    • -
-

For applications, the component can be replaced by a “Version number” if desired.

-
-
-

How to implement the Date modified

-
    -
  • This component always starts with the words “Date modified:” followed by a date.
    • -
  • The date appears using the common numeric method, for example: 2016-10-04.
    • -
  • Placement: left-aligned, below the main content area. If used in conjunction with the Report a problem pattern, - this - component appears after the button to report a problem with the page.

Disclaimer overlay - Canada.ca design pattern

- - - - -
- - - -

From: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

- -
-

The disclaimer overlay pattern ensures that terms of use, privacy statements and similar forms of disclaimer are available where required, but do not obstruct access to the main content of the page. It consists of a trigger link that activates a dismissible overlay where the disclaimer text appears.

-
-

When to use this pattern

-
    -
  • Use where disclaimers (privacy statements, terms of use, etc.) are required, to avoid linking away from the current page
    • -
  • Never use for content that is essential to completing the primary task of the page
    • -
-
-
-

How to use this pattern

-
    -
  • Label the trigger link with “Terms and conditions,” “Privacy statement,” or similar
    • -
  • When triggered, the overlay displays the disclaimer content in a secondary window (modal dialogue)
    • -
  • Disclaimer overlays must only include one action, which is to close them – this action is enabled by a clickable “X” in the upper right corner and a button labeled “Close” at the bottom of the overlay
    • -
  • Closing the overlay returns a person to the page containing the link that was used to activate it
    • -
  • Until the overlay is dismissed, the window under the disclaimer overlay is inert; people cannot interact with content outside of the overlay window (to avoid issues with assistive technology interpreting what is displayed)
    • -
  • Use only WET Centred popup (Lightbox) for this pattern
    • -
-
-
-

Promotional feature banner - Canada.ca design pattern

- - - - -
- - - -

From: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

- -
-

Promotional feature banners are in-page components used to promote government-wide and institution-specific activities, initiatives, programs, and services.

-
-

When to use this pattern

-
    -
  • Use this component to promote timely, current activities and initiatives
    • -
  • Only use this component on navigation or landing pages; do not use with destination content
    • -
  • Do not use this component when a person’s flow must not be interrupted, as in a transactional process
    • -
  • Do not duplicate content from other promotional components on the page
    • -
-
-
-

How to use this pattern

-
    -
  • Promotional feature banners are full-width, narrow-height components that comprise text, imagery, and links
    • -
  • A maximum of 65 characters is allowed for all text (including link label)
    • -
  • Both text and imagery must be linked, but all links in the feature banner must point to the same destination; alternatively, the entire container must operate as a single linked area
    • -
  • Textual elements must be coded as HTML text—do not embed text into imagery
    • -
  • To ensure responsiveness at varying screen sizes, do not use a single static image for this component
    • -
  • Use the defined presentation classes included in the Canada.ca WET theme
    • -
  • For image sizing details, consult the Canada.ca GitHub page
    • -

Context-specific features - Canada.ca design pattern

-
-
-

From: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

-
-

Context-specific features are in-page components used to promote government activities, initiatives, programs and services.

-
-

When to use this pattern

-
    -
  • Use this component to promote government activities, initiatives, programs and services that are relevant to the page on which they appear
    • -
  • Do not use this component to promote activities and initiatives that are not relevant to their context
    • -
  • Do not use this component when a person's flow must not be interrupted, as in a transactional process
    • -
  • Do not duplicate content or links from other components on the page
    • -
-
-
-

How to use this pattern

-
    -
  • Context-specific features always comprise a link and an image, with optional header and description text
    • -
  • On navigation templates (such as theme or topic pages), use 2 or 3 features side-by-side, with each link placed above the image and the description placed underneath the image
    • -
  • On destination templates (such as generic pages), limit use to a single feature with the image placed to the left of the link and description
    • -
  • On navigation pages, always use a header. The default wording for this block is “Features.” Use more specific headings where possible to provide stronger context for a person
    • -
  • On destination pages, use of a header is optional. When using a header, always use a specific wording to provide context
    • -
  • Position context-specific features after the main content of the page, but before the footer section
    • -
  • Use a maximum of 40 characters for the hyperlink text
    • -
  • When applying images in contextual features, follow specifications in the images pattern

Global header – small screen
- Diagram of global header for small screens. Text version below: -
- Text version -

The global header has the Government of Canada signature in the top left. The language toggle link is at the rop right. Under the signature and the language toggle is the site search box. Under the search box is the theme and topic menu. Under the theme and topic menu is the breadcrumb trail.

-
-
-

The global header is at the top of each Government of Canada web page.

-

The header consists of the following elements:

-
    -
  • Background colour (white)
    • -
  • Government of Canada signature
    • -
  • Link to canada.ca landing page from Government of Canada signature
    • -
  • Language toggle
    • -
  • Site search box
    • -
  • Sign in button
    • -
  • Theme and topic menu
    • -
  • Key line
    • -
  • Breadcrumb trail
    • -
-
- -

How to implement

-

Elements can be configured for the type of asset you’re creating.

- -
    -
  • Standard web page: Pages where people can navigate away without losing data, triggering errors or terminating their - session.
    • -
  • Transactional page: Pages with an interaction task where people might lose data, trigger errors, or terminate their - session if they navigate away from the page.
    • -
  • Campaigns: Landing pages for external marketing or advertising campaigns. The flexibility in layout allows institutions - to match elements of their external campaign with the landing page.
    • -
  • Web application: Government of Canada Web applications that require authentication.
    • -
-

When to use

-

The global header should be on all pages from the Goverment of Canada. Some elements are optional in these situations:

-
    -
  • Transactional scenarios: Pages where people are engaged in a transactional process such that mistakenly following other links would result in errors, loss of data or accidental termination of the session.
    • -
  • Campaigns: Landing pages for external marketing or advertising campaigns. The flexibility in layout allows institutions to match elements of their external campaign with the landing page.
    • -
-

How to implement

-

If you're not on the Managed Web Service, you can implement the global header by using the Centrally Deployed Templates Solution (CDTS).

-

Follow these requirements:

Table 1 Notes

-
-
Table 1 Note 1
-
-

Transactional web applications must be developed so that people can toggle between official languages on any given page or screen. Some legacy web applications may not have been designed this way. Such applications should be updated to allow this functionality. Until they are replaced or updated, the language toggle can be omitted if its use would result in a loss of data.

Images - Canada.ca design pattern

- - - - -
- - - -

From: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

- -
-

Images are visual content that complements or enhances text, including photographs, graphics, drawings, or diagrams.

-
-

When to use this pattern

-
    -
  • Avoid unnecessary decoration on Canada.ca – only use imagery when it provides more information than can be provided through text alone
    • -
  • Refer to the Canada.ca Content Style Guide for details on when to use images
    • -
  • Do not use images as stand-alone clickable elements providing navigation or functionality
    • -
  • Images must be clickable when accompanied by text links, but are secondary to the links
    • -
-
-
-

How to use this pattern

-
    -
  • Size and place images appropriately for the context they are in -
      -
    • images must appear connected to the content, and complement it
      • -
    -
    • -
  • Do not place images in line with text blocks, for example within a paragraph; instead, place them in between text blocks
    • -
  • Where images include people, they should reflect Canada’s diverse population
    • -
  • Images must appear square or rectangular; round or oval images may not be used
    • -
  • Where captions and attributions are required, place them immediately under the image they refer to
    • -
  • Images must only be clickable when accompanied by a text link to the same destination -
      -
    • in such cases, the default position for text links is immediately above the image
      • -
    -
    • -
  • Align links, captions or attributions with the left edge of the image they refer to
    • -
  • Do not use images or videos copied from other websites
    • -
  • Do not use images to display text -
      -
    • text on feature images may be difficult to read on a small screen
      • -
    • images may instead focus on photography and illustration
      • -
    • incidental snippets of text, such as text appearing on photographed objects, wordmarks in logos, #hashtags, etc., are acceptable
      • -
    -
    • -
-
-
-

Licensing

-
    -
  • Institutions are responsible for the proper use of images purchased through a licensing agreement -
      -
    • if the image is licensed only to one institution, it can only be used by that institution on Canada.ca
      • -
    • read the licensing agreement carefully for any other restrictions on the use of purchased images
      • -
    -
    • -
  • Verify that you have the appropriate rights to publish images on Canada.ca. Specifically: -
      -
    • get a signed release from a person (or legal guardian) before you publish any image of him or her
      • -
    • have documentation showing you have the appropriate rights to publish licensed (or rights-managed) images
      • -
    -
    • -
  • Images that are no longer licensed for use by an institution must be removed from Canada.ca
    • -
  • Purchase the highest-resolution available for an image, to be able to use the image in any size
    • -

In-page table of contents - Canada.ca design pattern

- - - - -
- - - -

From: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

- - - -
-

The in-page table of contents pattern is a list of links that lead to subsections of the same page. This pattern is intended for long documents that exist as a single page.

-
-

Objective

-

Use the in-page table of contents pattern to:

-
    -
  • provide an outline for the content of a single page that has multiple subsections
    • -
  • provide an alternative method to jump to specific content on the page, without using the scroll bar
    • -
-

Use this pattern when:

-
    -
  • excessive scrolling is required to view all of the content on the page
    • -
  • the page is divided into subsections, each with its own headings
    • -
-

Do not use this pattern when the document exists across several web pages. Instead, use the multi-page table of contents pattern.

-
-
-

How and when to use an in-page table of contents

-
    -
  • Always position the in-page table of contents pattern at the start of the page, before the substantive content of the page begins
    • -
  • Label the pattern “On this page” to distinguish it from other page content and to provide consistency throughout the site
    • -
  • Present links using list elements—bullets for an unordered list, numbers for an ordered list
    • -
  • Use standard linking styles to ensure that the links present as clickable elements
    • -
  • Present the in-page table of contents aligned to the left, as a vertical list, as opposed to using a column layout
    • -

Institutional byline - Canada.ca design pattern

-
-
-

From: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

-
-

The institutional byline provides people with a link to the institution or institutions responsible for the content.

- -
-

When to use this pattern

-
    -
  • Use only on destination pages such as service initiation or generic pages; do not use on navigation pages like themes, topic pages, institutional/organizational profiles
    • -
  • Use only once on the page to provide a link to the institution, organization or similar entity responsible for the content
    • -
-
-
-

How to use this pattern

-
    -
  • The link to the institution or organization is introduced by the word “From:”
    • -
  • Only links pointing to institutional profile pages, organizational profile pages, or partnering/collaborative arrangement profile pages are permitted
    • -
  • Only one institution or organization should appear in the institutional byline
    • -
  • The link label must be the same as the name that appears on the institutional or organizational profile page being linked to
    • -
  • Position the institutional byline directly underneath the page title, aligned to the left
    • -
  • Use standard paragraph and link styles
    • -
  • Do not place this block in line with other text blocks or layout elements; it stands alone
    • -

Interactive questions - Canada.ca design pattern

- - - - -
- - - -

From: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

- - -
-

The interactive questions pattern is used to present people with a sequence of simple questions that leads to the specific answer they need to continue with or complete their task. The interactive questions pattern can be used to help people understand eligibility criteria, applicability of rules, or compliance requirements that depend on specific situations or conditions.

-
-

When to use this pattern

-
    -
  • Use to guide people to an appropriate answer by asking them a series of questions
    • -
-
-
-

How to use this pattern

-
    -
  • Use defined presentation classes for the field flow interface included in WET
    • -
-
-

Introducing interactive questions

-
    -
  • The heading for this pattern must express the goal of the set of interactive questions -
      -
    • for example, “Find out if you can renew your passport online”
      • -
    -
    • -
  • Optionally provide an overview of the results people can expect from completing the interactive questionnaire
    • -
  • Optionally provide brief instructions above the questions
    • -
-
-
-

Presenting questions

-
    -
  • Keep the number of questions to a minimum (no more than 7 per sequence)
    • -
  • Each question must be written to a person reading it (use “you” and “your”)
    • -
  • Present choices or options immediately after each question, ensuring they are written as possible answers to the question above
    • -
  • When presenting choices, use standard form controls like radio buttons, checkboxes, and drop-down menus; ensure you cover off all possible choices
    • -
  • Where possible, pre-select the most common or optimal choice
    • -
-
-
-

Grouping questions

-
    -
  • Present questions one at a time to keep focus on the current question; keep each subsequent question on the same page in the same place as the previous question
    • -
  • Always place questions in context (for example, on the eligibility page within the Service Initiation template)
    • -
-
-
-

Moving through the sequence of questions

-
    -
  • Always use buttons for navigating though the sequence of questions (buttons labeled “continue” or “next” to trigger the next question or the answer)
    • -
  • Ensure people are able to go back to undo or change an earlier selection, via buttons or links (such as a link labeled “change your selection”)
    • -
  • Any buttons used for navigating through the questions must be labeled appropriately for the context (for example, “Continue” might make sense in one situation, but a clearer choice in another might be, “Find out if you’re eligible”)
    • -
  • When interactive questions are combined with the multi-page navigation pattern (such as in a service initiation template), avoid using “next” to avoid confusion between the 2 types of buttons
    • -
-
-
-

Presenting answers

-
    -
  • Always summarize the choices people have made and ensure they can go back to undo or change an earlier selection
    • -
  • Explain the answer clearly and simply
    • -
  • Provide links to the next action that people should take based on the answer they are given
    • -

-

On this page

- -
-
-

When to use

-

Use labels to:

- -
    -
  • signal that an item belongs to a category (for example, to show if some programs are open, some closed, and some will open soon)
    • -
  • label or stamp items with additional information, like the date an item was updated, or the closure of an area
    • -
  • show different stages of progress in a list of items (for example, to show which vaccines are under review and which ones are approved)
    • -
- -

In your design, ensure labels are placed very close to the item they apply to.

-
-
-

What to avoid

-
    -
  • Don't use long labels or full sentences - keep them short
    • -
  • Don't use labels that have overlapping meaning
    • -
  • Don't use labels to add style to text
    • - -
-
-
-

How to implement

- - -

Use the right type of label:

-
    -
  1. Default
    2. -
  2. Primary
    3. -
  3. Success
    4. -
  4. Information
    5. -
  5. Warning
    6. -
  6. Danger
    7. -
- - -

1. Default label

-

When to use: Use to give additional information about an item, like adding dates to a list of items.

- -
- Evaluation of the Citizenship Program July 2020 -
-
- Code - 
<a href="#">Evaluation of the Citizenship Program</a> <span class="label label-default">July 2020</span>
-
-

2. Primary label

-

When to use: Use to signal an important information about an item, like when a new program is not yet open but will be soon.

- -
-

Canada Recovery Benefit (CRB) Opening October 12

-
-
- Code - 
<h3 class="h5"><a href="#">Canada Recovery Benefit (CRB)</a> <span class="label label-primary">Opening October 12</span></h3>
-
-

3. Success label

-

When to use: Use to signal an item is open, available or approved.

- -
-

Protecting Canada’s Fresh Water Open - Accepting input

- -
-
- Code - 
<p><a href="#">Protecting Canada’s Fresh Water</a> <span class="label label-success">Open - Accepting input</span></p>
-
-

4. Information label

-

When to use: Use to tag an item with a value, like identifying a new blog post. "New" labels should be temporary.

- - -
-

Labelling study: which words work best New

-
-
- Code - 
<h3 class="h5"><a href="#">Labelling study: which words work best</a> <span class="label label-info">New</span></h3>
-
-

5. Warning label

-

When to use: Use when you want to bring attention to an item to warn people of a change, like if a program is ending soon.

- -
-

Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) Ending soon

-
-
- Code - 
<h3 class="h5"><a href="#">Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB)</a> <span class="label label-warning">Ending soon</span></h3>
-
- - -

6. Danger label

-

When to use: Use when an item is no longer available, like when a program has ended or an area is closed.

- -
-

Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) Closed

-
-
- Code - 
<h3 class="h5"><a href="#">Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB)</a> <span class="label label-danger">Closed</span></h3>
-
- - -
-

Research and blog posts

-

We tested the use of labels successfully during the transition period between the Canada Economic Response Benefit and the new benefits that replaced it. Adding labels to the different programs on the topic page made it easier for people to understand what was available to them.

Multimedia - Canada.ca design pattern

-
-
-

From: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

-
-

Multimedia is time-based media of a visual or auditory nature that complements or enhances text, including video clips and audio recordings.

-
-

When to use this pattern

- -
-
-

How to use this pattern

-
    -
  • Size and place multimedia appropriately for the context it is in. Embedded multimedia must appear connected to the content, and complement it
    • -
  • Do not place multimedia in line with text blocks, for example within a paragraph; place them in between text blocks instead
    • -
  • Where multimedia includes people, it should reflect Canada’s diverse population
    • -
  • Embedded multimedia must appear square or rectangular
    • -
  • Use only the WET multimedia player, which provides accessible playback controls
    • -
  • Always include descriptive transcripts accompanying multimedia content – place the link to the transcript immediately under the multimedia
    • -
  • The link must point to a separate page for longer transcripts or open a details-summary element for shorter transcripts
    • -
  • Where additional captions and attributions are required, place them immediately under the link to the transcript for the multimedia that they refer to
    • -
  • Align links, captions or attributions with the left edge of the embedded multimedia that they refer to
    • -
  • Avoid using multimedia from sources outside the Government of Canada
    • -
-
-
-

Licensing

-
    -
  • Institutions are responsible for the proper use of multimedia purchased through a licensing agreement
    • -
  • If the multimedia is licensed only to one institution, it can only be used by that institution on Canada.ca
    • -
  • Read the licensing agreement carefully for any other restrictions on the use of purchased multimedia
    • -
  • Verify that you have the appropriate rights to publish multimedia on Canada.ca, specifically: -
      -
    • get a signed release from a person (or legal guardian) before you publish any representation of him or her
      • -
    • have documentation showing you have the appropriate rights to publish licensed (or rights-managed) multimedia
      • -
    -
    • -
  • Multimedia that is no longer licensed for use by an institution must be removed from Canada.ca
    • -

-
Multimedia player pattern
- Screenshot illustrating the multimedia player pattern embedded on a generic page on Canada.ca. Details on this graphic can be found in the surrounding text.
-
-
-
-

1: WET media player

-

Mandatory

-

The video and audio player components of the Web Experience Toolkit have been developed and tested to meet Canada.ca coding and accessibility standards. No other multimedia players are permitted on Canada.ca.

-
-
-

2: Transcript

-

Mandatory

-

All video and audio posted to Canada.ca must include a written transcript immediately following the WET player.

-

Shorter transcripts should be placed on the same page following the player, while longer transcripts can be hidden inside a details/summary element or placed on a separate page. When placing the transcript on a separate page, a link must appear in this spot which leads to the page containing the transcript.

-
-
-

3: Captions or descriptions

-

Optional

-

Captions, descriptions or attributions associated with multimedia content must be placed after the link to the transcript, left-aligned to the edge of the WET player.

Ordered multi-page navigation - Canada.ca design pattern

- - - - -
- - - -

From: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

- - -
-

The ordered multi-page navigation pattern:

-
    -
  • is a set of links to a group of several pages intended to be read in a preferred order
    • -
  • includes previous/next links to guide a person through the page set in the preferred order
    • -
-
-

Objective

-

Use the ordered multi-page navigation pattern to provide:

-
    -
  • an outline of content that spans multiple pages and has a default or preferred order (for example, guides, service initiations, sequential instructions)
    • -
  • a method of jumping to any page within the sequence, bypassing the default order of the pages
    • -
-

Do not use this pattern when:

-
    -
  • the content exists as a single page requiring scrolling to view all the subsections (use the In-page table of contents pattern)
    • -
  • the content exists as a set of multiple pages that does not have a default or preferred order
    • -
  • the default order of the content must not be circumvented that is when the preferred order is crucial and people cannot be permitted to move between pages in a different order
    • - -
-
-
-

How and when to use ordered multi-page navigation

-
    -
  • Always position the ordered multi-page navigation pattern at the start of the page, before the substantive content of the page begins
    • -
  • Ensure that the order and position of the page links are identical on each page of the set
    • -
  • Number the step-by-step links to indicate the preferred order. Not all links necessarily need to be numbered, if they represent pages/steps that are not part of the sequence
    • -
  • Highlight the link for the current page. Do not highlight with the same colour used on primary action buttons
    • -
  • Position previous/next links immediately below the substantive content on the page
    • -
  • Accompany the previous/next labels with arrow icons to reinforce the concept
    • -
  • Position previous/next links consistently (for example, “previous” on the left, “next” on the right)
    • -
  • On the first page of the document, omit the “previous” link; on the last page of the document, omit the “next” link
    • -

Related links - Canada.ca design pattern

- - - - -
- - - -

From: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

- -
-

The related links pattern is a list of links to content that is related to the page on which it appears

- -
-

When to use this pattern

-
    -
  • Use this pattern to provide links to content that is directly relevant to the content on the current page
    • -
  • Do not use the related links pattern when a person’s flow must not be interrupted such as in a transactional process
    • -
-
-
-

How to use this pattern

-
    -
  • Position the list of links after the main content of the page, but before the footer section -
      -
    • a consistent location at the bottom of the content area helps a person recognize the function of this pattern
      • -
    -
    • -
  • The default heading is "Related links" -
      -
    • use more specific headings where possible to provide stronger context for a person
      • -
    -
    • -
  • Do not add borders to this block -
      -
    • the aim is to reduce visual noise and avoid "banner blindness" (where people automatically interpret content in boxes as ads)
      • -
    -
    • -
  • Use standard link styles
    • -
  • Use bullets, not numbered lists
    • -
-
-
-
-

Report a problem: Canada.ca design - pattern

- - - - - -
- - - -

From: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat -

-
- -
-
-

The Report a problem pattern allows people to provide feedback via a form for any problems they experience with the - web page they are on.

-

This pattern enables page-level feedback. When people click on the Report a problem button on this page, they are - presented with common issues to select using checkboxes. If none of these issues are applicable, they may select - “Other” to provide more details.

- -
-

On this page

- -
- -
-

When to use

-

Use this pattern to enable page-level feedback.

-
- -
-

What to avoid

-

Ensure that the feedback you receive is actionable. If you can, avoid implementing a form where people cannot - give details on the issues they are experiencing.

-
- -
-

How to implement

- -
-

Using CDTS to implement the Canada.ca theme

-

Do not implement this pattern through CDTS. To turn off the page footer in CDTS:

-
    -
  • use the CDTS version for GCWeb applications, instead of the one for static HTML pages
    • -
  • remove the reference for the 'prefooter'
    • -
-

You should then set up the report a problem form in its place.

-
- -

The button, label, placement and privacy statement are mandatory:

-
    -
  • the pattern is presented as a button using the button component styled for secondary - actions, which triggers a feedback form to expand when clicked
    • -
  • the label reads: “Report a problem on this page”
    • -
  • placement: positioned directly below the main content area, left-aligned
    • -
  • privacy statement: positioned within a dismissible overlay
    • -
-

The pattern for the contents of the feedback form is recommended. If meaningful data is not being received, a - mailto link can be used as an alternative.

-

Sending the form: Make sure to replace the "#" placeholder in the form action line with whatever your - institution uses to collect the data from the form. Consider sending the form to a generic email inbox if you - don't have a server set up to handle this type of form.

Services and information - Canada.ca design pattern

-
-
-

From: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

-
-

Services and information is a pattern for presenting sets of links with accompanying descriptions (also known as doormat). Each link with its description provides an accurate and concise description of what a person will find on the destination page. Together, these sets of links and descriptions provide clear and distinct choices for people trying to complete their task.

-
-

When to use this pattern

-
    -
  • Use this pattern to provide links to topics or destination content related to the page it is on
    • -
  • Use when the primary purpose of the page is to provide clear choices to navigate to tasks
    • -
-
-
-

How to use this pattern

-
-

Content requirements

-
    -
  • Content for each link and description pairing is written for a grade 6-8 reading level
    • -
  • Keep punctuation simple
    • -
  • Use popular keywords that the target audience will likely know and use; base choices on research and evidence
    • -
  • Don’t use acronyms or abbreviations unless most people know these better than the long-form equivalent
    • -
  • See the Canada.ca Content Style Guide for more information on how to write content for this pattern
    • -
-
-
-

Link requirements

-
    -
  • Link text must make sense within the context of the page -
      -
    • It does not need to exactly match the destination page title
      • -
    • It does not need to be unique across Canada.ca
      • -
    • It must be descriptive, unique within the page, and clearly distinguishable from the other links on the page
      • -
    • Don’t end linked text with punctuation (for example, “How do you apply for funding?”)
      • -
    • The linked text must speak to a person (for example, “Apply for funding”)
      • -
    -
    • -
  • The optimal character limit for links is 45 characters (with spaces) for both official languages, but can extend to 75 characters (with spaces)
    • -
  • Use only standard link styles as defined in the Web Experience Toolkit (WET)
    • -
-
-
-

Link descriptions

-
    -
  • The link description complements the link it accompanies to provide greater detail and clarity about the scope of the link itself -
      -
    • Recommended style is to list keywords or keyword phrases separated by commas; full sentences are not required
      • -
    • Don’t use introductory phrases such as “Includes…”, “Information on…” or “Learn more about…”
      • -
    • Don’t include links
      • -
    • Don’t include promotional messaging
      • -
    -
    • -
  • The character limit for link descriptions is 120 characters (with spaces) in both official languages
    • -
  • Drop-down menus are permitted in place of a link description in specific circumstances: -
      -
    • When used to provide access to a large number of items at the same level (for example, lists of countries or species)
      • -
    • When the destination page consists primarily of a list of links, and so can be completely replaced by the drop-down menu
      • -
    -
    • -
  • Use only standard presentation styles as defined in WET
    • -
-
-
-

Grouping sets of links with accompanying descriptions

-

The following styles may be used:

-
    -
  • Demand-based -
      -
    • Prioritization is based on demand (for example, based on web metrics), with higher demand links appearing ahead of lower demand ones
      • -
    -
    • -
  • Sequential -
      -
    • Use sequential, numbered doormats when links must be followed in a step-by-step order (for example, confirming eligibility, registering and then charging for GST/HST)
      • -
    • Use to allow people to skip over optional/non-applicable steps or steps they have previously completed
      • -
    -
    • -
  • Subheadings -
      -
    • Use to group links and descriptions that are very similar, in cases where it wouldn’t make sense to move the group into a sub-topic page
      • -
    • Use to avoid information overload; ideally no more than 9 links with descriptions per subheading
      • -
    -
    • -
  • Combinations of the above, as appropriate; however, limit application to avoid overly complex sets of links and descriptions
    • -
-

In all cases, priority sequencing is as follows:

-
    -
  • In a single column layout, the priority sequencing is top to bottom
    • -
  • In using across multiple columns, the priority sequencing is from left to right, then top to bottom
    • -
-

Mandatory

-

The content footer appears at the bottom of the content area for each web page.

-

Use the content footer in conjunction with the global footer pattern.

-

See Global footer for guidance on how to apply the contextual footer band, main footer band and sub-footer band.

-

How to implement the content footer

-

The content footer displays up to 3 components:

- -

Insert the content footer within the content area block so that its margins are aligned with the main page content.

-

Page feedback tool pilot

-

The Page feedback tool is a pilot product. Add the pattern to the content footer instead of the “Report a problem” - pattern to actively collect user feedback.

-

Social media channels - Canada.ca design pattern

-
-
-

From: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

-
-

The social media channels block (“follow box”) is an in-page component that allows people to follow official Government of Canada social media accounts from various social media platforms.

-
-

When to use this pattern

-
    -
  • Use the follow box on pages where official GC social media accounts are relevant to the current context
    • -
  • Do not use this component when a person’s flow must not be interrupted, as in a transactional process
    • -
  • Do not duplicate content from other promotional components on the page
    • -
-
-
-

How to use this pattern

-
    -
  • The social media channels follow box is made up of the heading “Follow” and icons linking to official GC social media accounts or RSS feeds that are relevant to the page
    • -
  • Accounts referred to in the follow box must be fully compliant with the Directive on the Management of Communications
    • -
  • Display a maximum of 7 icons aligned in a horizontal row, using the standard icon set available in the Canada.ca WET theme
    • -
  • Use only one icon per social media platform; if there is more than one account from a single platform -
      -
    • make them available via a clickable drop-down menu
      • -
    • populate the drop-down menu with up to 8 text links, using the names of the accounts as labels
      • -
    • if more than 8 links are required, include a “view all” link as the final item in the list; this link must point to the relevant section of the Canada.ca social media gallery, where all relevant accounts will be listed
      • -
    -
    • -
  • Position the follow box so that it does not interfere with the primary content of the page
    • -
  • Emphasize the box shape of this component by using a background colour that is darker than the surrounding page area’s background colour
    • -
  • Use the defined presentation classes included in the Canada.ca WET theme
    • -
-

Social media feeds - Canada.ca design pattern

-
-
-

From: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

-
-

The social media feeds widget is an in-page component that allows the latest posts from official Government of Canada social media accounts to be embedded on Canada.ca pages

-
-

When to use this pattern

-
    -
  • Use the social media feeds widget on pages where official GC social media accounts are relevant to the current context
    • -
  • Do not use this component when a person’s flow must not be interrupted, as in a transactional process
    • -
  • Do not duplicate content from other promotional components on the page
    • -
-
-
-

How to use this pattern

-
    -
  • The social media feeds widget consists of a heading with panels for up to 3 social media accounts, each featuring a feed of recent posts
    • -
  • The default heading for this widget is “Stay connected”
    • -
  • Each feed panel includes -
      -
    • a heading that indicates which social media platform the account’s feed is drawn from, for example Facebook or YouTube
      • -
    • a feed of the recent posts from that account, arranged in reverse chronological order
      • -
    • the 3 most recent posts as the default setting, with a link to the account from which the feed is drawn to allow people to see more
      • -
    -
    • -
  • Use the defined presentation classes included in the Canada.ca WET theme
    • -

Break up a service or content into sections that each focus on a step or specific answer people need to do before moving to the next step or section.

-
-

[Optional image or coded example of the pattern so it can be visually identified quickly]

-
-
-

On this page

- -
-
-

When to use

-

Use to group related task pages together and provide navigation between these pages.

-

Keep the number of pages tied together to a reasonable numner (maximum 6).

-
-
-

What to avoid

-

Don't use numbers when you use this pattern for sequenced steps. Testing has shown that Canadians are less likely to get to the section they need if the elements are numbered.

-

Sub-steps haven't been tested properly yet - avoid using them.

-
-
-

How to implement

-

This pattern is still in beta, and the code is still under review. Use it sparingly, as it may still be subject to changes.

-

You will need to use provisional CSS to use this design pattern.

Tabbed interface - Canada.ca design pattern

- - - -
- - - -

From: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

- - -
-

The tabbed interface pattern separates related content into different panes that are viewable one at a time when the respective tab is clicked.

-
-

Objective

-

Use the tabbed interface pattern to group and present different aspects of content that are closely related, such as:

-
    -
  • Geographic places, where the tabs can be used to present content relating to a place’s location, demographics, economy, etc.
    • -
  • Product catalogues, where the tabs can be used to present consistent facets of each product in the catalogue, such as specifications, features, etc.
    • -
-

Do not use the tabbed interface pattern when:

-
    -
  • content must be presented in a specific sequential order (instead, use a step-by-step pattern)
    • -
  • content needs to be compared and contrasted, which would lead to repeated switching between tabs (instead, use tables or other patterns that allow all content to be presented at once)
    • -
  • content is lengthy or detailed, because of space limitations in the tabbed interface
    • -
  • content presentation includes only 2 tabs (for greater efficiency, use subheadings)
    • -
-
-
-

How and when to use a tabbed interface

-
    -
  • Use defined presentation classes for the tabbed interface included in WET
    • -
  • Ensure that tab headers are clear and concise; avoid lengthy labels
    • -
  • When repeating the tabbed interface across a set of related pages (for example, on country pages), always ensure the tab headers are presented consistently
    • -
  • Make the default active tab first on page load; but another tab may be used as the active tab on page load if required
    • -

Tables: Canada.ca design - system -

Data tables allow you to communicate data efficiently using rows and columns.

When to use

- -
-
-

What to avoid

- -
-
-

How to implement

-

You can use either the beta or the stable version of this pattern. The beta tables use provisional CSS to make the tables responsive on small screens.

-

The beta version will eventually replace the stable version.

-
- Beta (responsive) data tables -

Beta responsive tables are:

-
    -
  • supported only for simple WET tables that don't have merged rows or columns
    • -
  • not supported by IE 11
    • -
-

Responsive tables create cards in mobile and small tablet view.

-

Because this is still in beta, make sure to test your tables in different views, especially if you add a lot of customization.

-

OptionDescriptionHow to use
Table bordersAdds a border to help visually separate the table cells when they have a lot of contentAdd the class table-bordered to the <table>
Condensed spacingNarrows the height of the cells within the tableAdd the class table-condensed to the <table>
Striped rowsAlternates the colour of the table rows from white to greyAdd the class table-striped to the <table>
Hover rowsCauses the background to darken when a mouse hovers over a rowAdd the class table-hover to the <table>
Left alignedAlign the text in any cell on mobile cardsAdd the class text-left to the HTML item in the <td> you wish to align left, like a <span> or a <ul>
Simple filterProvides simple filtering for the tableAdd the class wb-filter to the <table>
Enable DataTables pluginProvides searching, sorting, filtering, pagination, etc. DataTables plugin documentationAdd the class wb-tables to the <table> and add the appropriate - data-wb-tables="" values -
-
-
- Stable data tables -
    -
  • Use defined presentation classes for tables included in WET
    • -
  • Ensure each column treats only one data facet
    • -
  • - Where possible, use WET 4 tables to enable sorting and filtering controls -
      -
    • this is recommended when there are more than 12 rows
      • -
    -
    • -
  • Add optional pagination controls for any table with more than 12 rows
    • -
  • Never include tabular data as an image

Research and blog posts

-

We tested the use of responsive tables successfully during optimization projects with Health Canada for recalls and safety, with CRA for organizing contact information, and across various COVID-19 content. Responsive tables are easier for users on small screens to use without having to scroll sideways to see all the content.

What we are doing - Canada.ca design pattern

- - - - -
- - - -

From: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

- - -
-

What we are doing is a pattern that presents links to content that provides background or explanations of GC activities in support of creating or improving public policy.

-
-

When to use this pattern

-
    -
  • Use this pattern to provide relevant links to content that falls within the program and policy development user-need category
    • -
  • Use when the primary purpose of the page is to provide navigation choices
    • -
-
-
-

How to use this pattern

-
-

Content requirements

-
    -
  • Label the heading “What we are doing”
    • -
  • Organize links by content type; label subheadings only using content type names (see Content types for Canada.ca)
    • -
  • Provide links to only the following content types: -
      -
    • from the Research, statistics and data category: -
        -
      • assessments
        • -
      • datasets
        • -
      • research
        • -
      • statistics
        • -
      • surveys
        • -
      -
      • -
    • from the Consultations and engagement category: -
        -
      • consultations
        • -
      -
      • -
    • from the News, promotions and public awareness category: -
        -
      • backgrounders
        • -
      • news releases
        • -
      • speeches
        • -
      • statements
        • -
      -
      • -
    • from the Corporate information category: -
        -
      • program results
        • -
      -
      • -
    • from the Government-wide reporting category: -
        -
      • audits
        • -
      -
      • -
    -
    • -
  • With the permitted types above, only include links to content that provides a view into the work that the government is doing to evaluate, improve or change programs, policies and services; for example, only a news release that announces a new funding program (whereas a news release that announces funding being awarded under and existing program would not be included here)
    • -
  • Only include links that are relevant to the page on which this pattern appears
    • -
  • Never provide links to content types that fall under the following content type categories: -
      -
    • services, like forms or service initiation (instead, place links to this content under services and information or most requested)
      • -
    • contact us, such as emergency contact or find an office (instead, place links to this content under the appropriate contact page or pattern, or most requested, if a high-demand task)
      • -
    • policy and guidance (instead, place links to this content under services and information, most requested or corporate information)
      • -
    • treaties, laws and regulations (instead, place links to this content on the transparency page under corporate information, services and information or most requested, if a high-demand task)
      • -
    • navigation and administration like navigation pages, website terms and conditions
      • -
    -
    • -
-
-
-

Presentation requirements

Contribution process

- - - -
- -

The GC design system needs to be constantly improving. The goal of this framework is to foster continuous improvement of the guidance through experimentation. It creates a space for departments to experiment and innovate, and contribute their findings for the benefit of the whole GC web community.

-

On this page

- -

Identify: submit a proposal for improvement

-

While designing content for Canadians or while testing your current design, you may determine that either:

- -

Consult the backlog and the experiments in progress

-

The first step is to find out if the improvement has already been identified. To do so, consult the backlog:

- -

If your suggestion is not already identified

-

If the pattern or template you identified for improvement is not in the backlog, you can submit a proposal by opening an issue in GitHub.

-

The proposal must include at least:

- -

Suggestions will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the community.

-

Design: from prototype to stable

-

Once an idea has been identified, anybody can work on tackling the issue.

-

Initial design and prototype

-

As soon as some form of prototype exists, it can be moved from the "to do" column to the the backlog to the "Design and prototyping" column in the backlog project board.

-

Update the corresponding issue in GitHub to share the prototype with the community.

-

Alpha

-

To go from early prototype to Alpha, the prototype needs to be accompanied with documentation that includes at the minimum:

- - -

The Alpha phase is used to test the hypothesis, conduct research, deal with accessibility considerations, and code a working example for testing.

-

Beta

-

To go from Alpha to Beta, you need the following:

- -

Use the Beta phase to scale up the experiment and fix any issues you encounter.

-

Beta updates are available through the main design system library, and departments can use them, as long as they consider it an experiment and are willing to report back on findings.

- -

Stable

-

To go from Beta to Stable, the following must be done:

- -

Iterate: back to the drawing board

-

Once a new or updated pattern has moved to stable, it becomes the new baseline guidance.

-

But it doesn't mean that it's now perfect. If this improvement hasn’t solved all the issues, or if new issues arise, the component, pattern or template can be added back to the backlog and be the subject of another design round.

Design system community

- - - -
- -

Anyone can contribute to the Canada.ca design system.

-

On this page

- -
-

Community principles

-

Follow these principles when you contribute to the Canada.ca design system. These principles are heavily inspired by the GOV.UK design system community principles.

-

1. Start with what already exists

-

Start with the current library. There already may be something you can use, or something you can improve upon.

-

The existing components, patterns and layouts are evidence-based, and they are a great starting point. Know what's there to identify gaps and possible improvements.

-

Look at the community backlog to see if your idea has already been identified.

-

Reach out to community to find what others already have done.

-

2. Share your learnings with the community

-

As you do research, share your findings with the whole community.

-

Try to contribute back design components and patterns that are scalable, reusable and can evolve over time.

-

If you find something that doesn't work (a gap, an error, a contradiction, a flawed design), speak up. Let the community know.

-

When working on a contribution, gather evidence, and share it.

-

3. Work in the open, and be open

-

To avoid duplication of effort, when you are working on something, let the community know.

-

Share your work as early as possible, so others can contribute too.

-

Be honest and humble: share what works, what doesn't, and the research you did to understand that.

-

Be kind and respectful, and be open to feedback and changes to your work.

-

Be inclusive from the get go, and value what others can bring.

-
-
-

How to contribute

-

Anyone can contribute to the Canada.ca design system.

-

A contribution could be:

-
    -
  • suggesting an improvement to a component
    • -
  • working on a new pattern or page layout
    • -
  • clarifying guidance
    • -
  • correcting an error
    • -
  • anything that makes the design system better for the community
    • -
- -

Contribution process

Choosing what to improve: Continuous improvement of web content

- -
-

On this page

- -
- -

Use a task-based approach

-

Canada.ca is the Government of Canada primary service delivery channel.

- -

People visit Canada.ca to do things like:

- - -

People come to Canada.ca to complete tasks that let them fulfill their goals or objectives. For example, the tasks might be to check eligibility requirements and apply for a benefit. The goal is to receive the benefit payment.

- -

Improving services on Canada.ca means ensuring that people are able to complete their tasks as efficiently and easily as possible.

- - -

Top tasks

-

Use a people-centred and data-driven way to focus and prioritize improvement efforts on the web by focusing on top tasks.

- -

Determining what the top tasks are for your organization is crucial to focusing on what matters.

- -

The GC Task Success Survey offers you a people-centred and data-driven way to prioritize your improvement efforts:

- - - - -

Improving the right thing

- -

You won’t be able to improve everything. Some tasks are much more important to your users – and to your mandate – than others.

- -

To choose what to improve, focus on 3 things:

- - - - - -

Use data from task success surveys, direct feedback, call centres and other sources to determine your priorities.

- -
- - - -

If the team doesn’t agree on the big picture, then they certainly won’t agree on a single feature.

-

Jory Mackay, 7 Ways to Prioritize Features and Product Improvements

-
- - -

Task success survey results

-

Results and feedback from task success surveys will help you identify which tasks could be good candidates for improvement.

- -

The GC Task Success Survey lets you measure and monitor results:

- - -

Frustration expressed through direct feedback

- -

Analyzing direct feedback from people using your information through exit surveys, page feedback, and previous usability testing can help you narrow in on specific problems.

- - -

Call drivers, complaints, social media listening

- -

Are you getting more calls, or more complaints from your users about specific services? Is your front-line staff describing areas of struggle? Is there a sudden flurry of posts related to your services on social media? These are clear indicators of areas you may need to focus on.

- - - - -

There are different methods and scorecards you can use to help prioritize problems that users are experiencing. These resources can help you learn more about prioritization methods:

Designing content: Continuous improvement of web content

- -

When you design content for Canada.ca, you design for people. The goal is to help people get what they need from the government.

- - - - -
-

On this page

- -
- -
- - -

Focus on task success

- -

First, determine the task at hand: what is it that users are trying to do when they get to the page or set of pages?

- -

Tasks can be things like:

- - - -

One question should drive all design decisions: does it help people succeed in completing the task?

- - - - -
- -

Foster trust

- -

People need to know they'll find information they can trust.

- -

A consistent brand

- -

Using a consistent look throughout the Government of Canada web presence is crucial to building a trustworthy experience for people. People need to know they'll find information they can trust.

- - - -

Use the mandatory elements of the Canada.ca design system to implement this trusted brand.

- -

The mandatory elements you need to follow are:

- - - -

Once you've applied this uniform brand, you can still use creativity within the body of the page to come up with the best design to help people complete their tasks.

- - - - -

Provide the answers people are looking for

-

The best way to foster trust is to provide people the answers they are looking for.

-

When someone can confidently take action based on the information you provided, you know you’ve built a trustworthy product.

-

Make sure you understand what people are trying to get from your content. Use evidence from research and data to make it easy for people to find, use and understand these answers.

- - - -

Make content findable

-

People can’t succeed at a task if they can’t find where to initiate it.

-

To improve findability, you can work on:

- - -

Navigation

- -

Some people will navigate to their task on the Canada.ca site. To support this, making a clear path for people's tasks is crucial. That means planning your navigation structure and taking time to understand what labels will work best for your audience.

- - - -

Internal and external search

-

Some people will search on Canada.ca or external search engines.

-

Using the right keywords, organizing your content properly and adding good metadata can help improve search results. Adding structured data can also be a useful technique.

- - - -

Help people understand

- -

Once people find the page they need, they have to be able to understand what they read. The way we write and the words we use make an enormous difference.

- -

Use the words people actually use, not your internal jargon.

-

Stick to the essentials, and provide just enough information for people.

-

Write simple sentences and short paragraphs. Make good use of headings to help people scan the page and focus on the parts they’re looking for.

- - - - -

Make content easy to use

-

Use patterns and layouts that make it easy for people to use the content to complete their tasks. This could be simple text, a filterable table, a button, an interactive checklist or other patterns.

- -

If you can't find an existing pattern or template in the library that does everything you need, you can get creative as long as you respect the mandatory elements of the design system. If your solution works well, we may add it to the Canada.ca design system for others to use when they have similar needs.

- -

Do usability testing to make sure your design really does help people complete their tasks.

- - - -

Build in accessibility and inclusivity

- -

Accessibility and inclusivity have to be at the forefront of your design. Just like translation, accessibility and inclusivity are non-negotiable.

- -

Make sure your design is accessible as you develop it, not as an after-thought.

- -

The Standard on Web Accessibility requires all GC web pages to meet level AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG ) 2.0 requirements.

-

But this is only the minimum standard: if possible, shoot for AAA and WCAG 2.1 requirements.

- - - - -

Checklist for finalizing content

-
- Before going live with improvements, you need to finalize the content: - -

Monitoring and measuring task success: Continuous improvement of web content

- -

On this page

- - -

Monitor and measure content after it goes live. Continuous improvements throughout the content’s life cycle avoids high-effort optimization projects down the road.

- -

Establish performance indicators

- -

For continuous improvement to work well, you need to establish performance indicators and identify data sources that help you evaluate how your content or service is performing.

- -

We can use data to make sure that:

- - - - -

GC Task Success Survey

- -

As part of reporting requirements for the Government of Canada, Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat has adopted the task success survey method as a primary means of measuring the performance of web content and services.

- -

All departments and agencies subject to the Directive on the Management of Communications are required to implement the GC Task Success Survey on their web properties.

- - - - - -

Monitoring other performance indicators

- -

Monitoring other data sources and performance indicators can uncover potential problems with your content or service.

- -

Combining data from multiple sources gives you a richer picture of how your content or service is performing.

- -

Additional data sources include:

- - - -

It’s best to combine metrics with usability testing to validate proposed improvements.

- - - - -

Continuous improvement

- -

Use the data you’ve been monitoring (such as user feedback, analytics, and user research) to find ways to improve your content. Evaluate proposed improvements with usability testing.

- -

Over time, programs and policies change and your content will need to change accordingly. With each change comes a new opportunity to research, prototype, and test out solutions before going live.

Research and prototyping: Continuous improvement of web content

- - -

On this page

- - -

Process

- -

There is no single method for continuous optimization, but most approaches will follow a similar process. You identify a problem, research the issue, gather a baseline, prototype and test (as many times as needed), go live, and finally measure the impact of your work.

- -

The method described here is how the Digital Transformation Office approaches content optimization projects.

- - -
- A long description can be found after the image. -
-
- DTO optimization process -

Step 1: Initiation. Project start-up, define the problem.

-

Step 2: Discovery. Initial research, determine tasks.

-

Step 3: Baseline study. Test the current service with users.

-

Step 4: Design and prototype. Develop prototype, test and iterate.

-

Step 5: Comparison study. Test prototype with users, iterate to improve.

-

Step 6: Transition. Prototype hand-off and transition to live.

-
- -

Initiation

- -

You need to identify all of the stakeholders - particularly those who will have an impact on whether what you’re doing goes live. If the right people aren’t involved early on, you may experience significant delays. In the worst case scenario, your work may never see the light of day.

- -

Agree on what you’re trying to accomplish and make sure to have a good understanding of the barriers that may prevent implementation.

- - -

At the DTO we use a project tracking sheet where we can link to all of the important study artifacts:

- - - -

Discovery phase

- -

The purpose of the discovery phase is to conduct user research that will:

- - - -

Avoid making assumptions or thinking about solutions before discovery research is complete. It’s important to understand the problems that people are having first. You will tackle potential solutions through prototypes in the next phase.

- -

Common research methods in the discovery phase

-
- -

Asking your own questions and knowing how to find the answers is a critical part of being a designer

-

Source: Erika Hall, Just Enough Research

-
- - -

To create research questions, you need to understand gaps and weaknesses with the current situation. Use all or some of these methods to analyze your current situation.

- - -

Qualitative research

- - - -

Quantitative research

- - - -

Learn about people using your content

-

By understanding the people who use your content, you will know more about who they are and their behaviours. This will help you narrow down who you need to recruit for usability testing.

- -

Record your findings and the challenges people are facing

-

Some ways to summarize these findings include:

- - - -

Identify the specific tasks people are doing

- -

Decide which specific tasks you will address as part of the optimization work.

- -

You will build the solutions you prototype around these tasks.

- -

Some examples of specific tasks from the Canada Child Benefit program:

- - -

Sharing the discovery research

- -

Summarizing and sharing what you’ve learned is an important milestone. This is a living document that you add to as you learn more through your research. You’ll refer back to these artifacts often.

- -

Baseline measurement phase

- -

A baseline measurement gives you a direct comparison of how a task performed before you optimize it.

- -

If having a direct comparison is important to demonstrate the impact and value of your solutions, this is an important step to include. Make sure to use the same measurement method before and after optimization if you want comparable results.

- - -

If your project is completely new you may not have anything to baseline test.

- -

Additionally, if your proposed solution is small or you have another metric (like call centre data or GC Task Success Survey data) that you will use to evaluate effectiveness, you could skip running a baseline study.

- -

Why run a baseline usability study

- -

Watching real people use your content is one of the most effective ways to gather evidence about the problems you’re looking to solve.

-

Perform moderated or unmoderated baseline studies with people trying scenarios on existing web content.

- -

When to use moderated and unmoderated testing

- - - - - - - - - - - -
Moderated is best for:Unmoderated is best for:
-
    -
  • a complicated process or concept
    • -
  • when you want to ask follow-up questions if a participant is stuck or confused
    • -
  • working with a specialized group of participants
    • -
    -
  • quick results
    • -
  • studying a few very specific tasks
    • -
  • if you only need to select participants using basic demographics (age or income)
    • - -
- - - - -

At the DTO, we include 16-18 participants in moderated baseline studies when we want to generate percentage task success scores that have reproducible results.

-

You can run smaller studies with fewer participants to gain insights about specific parts of your site. In our work at the DTO, we often run qualitative usability tests with 6-8 participants, but you can run studies with as few as 3-5 participants and still get useful results.

-

In small studies, do not report success or failure as percentages since the results are not reproducible.

- -
-
-

Correct

-

2 / 8 participants were able to complete the task successfully

- - -
-
-

Incorrect

-

25% of participants were able to complete the task successfully

- -
-
- - -

Recruiting participants

-

Recruit people for your usability tests that are representative of the audience for your content or service. You can work with a company to help recruit participants or use screening criteria in unmoderated tools to help find the right people to reduce variability in your results.

-

Plan to over-recruit - expect that there will be no-shows or that some unmoderated tests may not work out as expected.

- -

Whoever is recruiting participants and conducting research is responsible for protecting the privacy of participants and ensuring they have informed consent before starting the study.

- - -
- Collecting personal information - -

Before collecting participants’ personal information, check in with your privacy group.

-

The Privacy Act governs how the federal government handles personal information.

- -

The Tri-council policy statement on Ethical Conduct for research involving humans outlines best practices for conducting research with participants.

- - - -

The Directive on Privacy Practices provides direction on how to implement effective privacy practices including collecting and notifying participants how their information will be used.

- - -

When using unmoderated usability testing tools, we include a screening question that tells participants how we may use the recordings. At this point, they are given the choice to opt out.

- -

Example privacy screener text

-

“We sometimes use recordings in public blog posts, with any personally identifying information hidden and voices altered. Please only accept this test if you consent to us using your recording in this way.”

- -
- -

Write task scenarios

-

Research questions

-

Using your discovery research, you now have a prioritized list of challenges that you're facing and potential tasks to test.

-

Develop research questions based on these tasks. (What do you want to find out? To prove?) Research questions help narrow the scope of your study to the behaviours you want evidence on - make sure everyone agrees on them!

- - - -

With your list of research questions in hand, draft tasks that will help you gather evidence and provide insights about ideas to prototype.

- -

Tasks

-

These must be real things people are trying to accomplish.

- -

Hypothesize about what you think may happen during the test.

- -

We find that we can test 8-10 small tasks in an hour-long moderated session or 5-6 tasks in an unmoderated 30-minute session.

- -

Scenarios

-

Scenarios are realistic narratives for a task that the team creates together.

- -

Using the job story formula, identify a situation a user may find themselves in and the strategies they use to arrive at a desired outcome.

- -

A job story follows this format:

-

“When I (situation), I want to (motivation), so I can (expected outcome)”

- -

This is a valuable approach to reinforce your understanding of how and why a service is used.

- -
-

Example task
Change direct deposit bank account details.

- -

Job story
When I move my mortgage to a new bank, I want the CRA to put my tax refund into the new account, so I can pay my mortgage on time.

- -

Scenario
You renewed your mortgage, and you moved all your bank accounts to a new bank. What number would you call to get your personal tax refund into your new bank account? (answer: 1-800-959-8281)

-
- -

Fine-tune these tasks so they tell you as much as possible, are accurate, and feasible for your participants to complete. Make sure each task has a clear answer. Answers may be yes/no, or else something specific such as a number or percentage, a date, a telephone number, etc.

- -

Before you run your first official test, make sure you pilot your task scenarios. For example, you can ask a friend or colleague to try doing the task to get a sense of whether participants will understand what you’re asking them to do.

- - - -

More information on writing task scenarios

- - - -

Running a moderated or unmoderated baseline study

- -

You can use an outside firm to run a moderated study for you or set it up yourself. If setting up a moderated study yourself, you will need to select a screen and audio sharing tool. Pay attention to any special installation requirements. If possible, let participants know in advance which tool you will be using so they can prepare their computer or device ahead of time.

- -

You can choose from a range of third party services that provide moderated and unmoderated study tools. An unmoderated study can be run outside of work hours and is generally less expensive to run.

- -

In both scenarios, you want to have video recordings at the end of each session that you can use to complete a detailed analysis.

- - -

Additional resources on moderated and unmoderated testing:

- - -

Analyzing baseline results

- -

Involve everyone on the team in the analysis process, at least as an observer.

- -

Reviewing transcripts and summary reports is helpful but there is no replacement for first-hand observations with real users. Ensure the whole team can participate by watching videos or live sessions.

- -

Take notes of key behaviours during the sessions

- - - - -

Share any shorthand you use in your notes

- - - -

When analyzing the data you’ve collected, read through the notes carefully looking for patterns and be sure to add a description of each of the problems. Look for trends and keep a count of problems that occurred across participants.

- -

Share your findings

-

Summarize the test results in a usability test report with your findings and recommendations. An effective report will include visuals such as screen shots and short video clips to illustrate specific problems.

- - -

We recommend presenting the findings in person. This is an effective way to make sure that stakeholders and approvers understand the issues that you are trying to fix. These sessions are a great way to build empathy for users with members of the team that did not observe or participate in analysis of the usability tests.

- -

An emailed report is an ignored report!

- - -

Outcome of the baseline testing phase

- - - - -

Prototype ideas to improve success

- - -

There are different approaches to prototyping, from basic wireframing to fully working HTML pages.

-

Basic designs help in the early stages of ideating for teams to discuss and visualize. Fully working HTML prototypes can make testing easier since they behave exactly, or almost exactly, like the real live content would.

-

Make sure prototypes aren’t behind firewalls or in staging/development servers that are not publicly accessible if you’re testing with members of the public.

- -

Our preferred way of prototyping at the DTO is HTML, using GitHub pages, but there are other options for creating high-fidelity interactive prototypes including:

- - - - -

Prototypes are a great change management tool. Doing demonstrations using prototypes can bring together diverse perspectives (for instance from communications and policy, or across branch or departmental lines).

-

A prototype that can be easily updated during workshops can be very effective. A live editing session can turn ideas from participants into something concrete in real time. It also demystifies content design and coding, which helps create buy-in for an iterative approach.

-

Prototyping is a risk-reduction strategy. It lets stakeholders see the proposed approach and comment on it or correct it before it goes live.

- - - - -

Comparison testing

- -

Once your prototypes are ready, you need to test them to see whether your ideas and solutions work with users. When possible, use the same test questions and testing approach as you did for the baseline study so that you can make direct comparisons and verify whether you met objectives.

- -

As testing progresses, you may find it necessary to continue fine-tuning or adjusting your prototypes, if participants continue to struggle. The participants will help you understand what helped, and why.

- -

No matter how smart or experienced you are, you will be surprised by what you see people do.

- -

Follow up testing with analysis and reporting. The testing report or presentation should communicate improvements or areas that require further work. Include a plan to complete those additional changes.

- -

This report will be a critical tool for building the case for change among decision makers during the following implementation phase.

Organizing and preparing your team: Continuous improvement of web content

- -

On this page

- - -

Establish your team

-

Web content improvement projects usually require the participation of many people. Different roles are needed to ensure coordination, research, design and delivery.

- -

There are different ways you can organize your team, and some people may have more than one role, but the following roles should be covered.

- - - -

Project leadership and coordination

- - -

The project lead:

- - -

The project coordinator keeps the team organized, maintains spreadsheets, documentation and schedules meetings.

- -

User research and usability testing

- -

Research-driven improvement projects require impartial usability research specialists who can recruit participants and run replicable tests with multiple participants.

- -

Design researchers understand and uncover user behaviours and expectations through various research methods.

- -

This group of people could be in-house or through a third party.

- - -

Design

-

Content designers focus on improvements to language and how content is structured or displayed to help people complete their tasks.

- -

Interaction designers build prototypes and provide input on interactive approaches that may enhance the user’s experience.

- - - -

Subject matter experts

- -

Content improvement must be done with the involvement of subject matter experts, who understand the topic and what needs to be conveyed to the audience. These participants may differ, depending on the program area:

- - - -

Senior management and decision makers

- -

You need to involve senior management to approve decisions on content, design and interactions. You need someone to champion implementation once research and recommendations are done. Designing web materials for task success may conflict with organizational pressures. It's critical that senior management be engaged early and often, to understand the methods, and to participate in crafting appropriate project goals.

- -

Some of the greatest risks to project success are:

- - - -

Some of the best ways to overcome these risks include:

- - - -

Co-design with approvers at the table (blog post)

- -

Set up your governance structure

- -

Improving content for people often means significant change for organizations. To lead a successful improvement project, people working on it need to agree on the purpose, approach and objectives.

- -

Everyone involved needs to be on board.

- -

You need:

- - - - -

Resource: One page project alignment template (Google Docs)

- -

Governance to address barriers

- -

Effective and intentional governance can help address the barriers that may get in the way of project success.

- -

These barriers include:

- - - - -

Effective project governance removes ambiguity about who is accountable for which decisions.

- -

Tips for good governance

- - - -

Example project governance model

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Content designerEvidence-based content improvementsMaking design decisions based on the evidence
Interaction designerEvidence-based designs and prototypingMaking design decisions based on the evidence
Subject matter expertsReview content for accuracyAccuracy of content after improvements
- - - -

Plan for efficient approvals

- -

Approval processes often take time. There are things you can do to make it better.

- -

Involve approvers from the get go

- -

Don’t wait until the end of the design process to seek input from people who will approve the content. Involve all stakeholders at the beginning of the process, and identify the approvers early on.

- -

Make sure everyone who needs to know is aware of the objectives and timelines of the improvement project.

- - -

Design and prototype collaboratively

- -

Don’t design and prototype all by yourself. Lead content design workshops that involve everyone that has a stake in the content: subject matter experts, policy people, communications, web advisors, etc.

- - -

Use demos to show the design to approvers

- -

Instead of simply passing around a Word document asking for input, do regular presentations to people who will approve the content. Show the process, the research and the actual prototype, and demonstrate how this is an improvement.

- -

The more carefully you prepare content before approvals, the less approvers will need to tweak it. Do the hard work to make it easy for them to give the ok to go live.

- -

It’s up to the project team to:

Canada.ca alerts and service disruptions

- -
-
-

From: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

-

Last updated: 2022-05-10

- -

These recommendations will help bring consistency to each department's communications on service disruptions during a crisis.

- - - - -
- -

- -
-
- -

How to use alerts for service disruptions

-

Alerts are meant to draw attention to changes in regular content in 2 ways:

-
    -
  1. a change to the content of the page on which the alert appears: in this case, place the alert next to the updated content
    2. -
  2. a change that has been made elsewhere, such as new information being published: in this case, link to the new information from within the alert
    3. -
-

- -

What to include in alerts

-

Alert content should:

-
    -
  • be short and simple
    • -
  • describe the impact on the user
    • -
  • be tailored to the page on which it appears
    • -
  • include the dates (if known) when the disruption will take place
    • -
  • use the appropriate verb tense to reflect when the change is taking place
    • - -
  • use links sparingly - if a link is needed, only include one
    • -
- -

Limit use of alerts

-

Be aware that alert fatigue reduces the effectiveness of the alert over time. The more people see alerts and warning messages the less receptive they are to them. To avoid this, follow these guidelines:

-
    -
  • only use alerts on a temporary basis (for the time it takes to integrate the information or resolve the situation)
    • -
  • limit the number of alerts on each page
    • -
  • limit the number of alerts used across pages: -
      -
    • use at impacted points of service or information delivery, such as service initiation pages, contact pages, etc.
      • -
    • avoid beyond service or information delivery points - on theme and topic pages, consider using a new doormat instead
      • -
    -
    • -
  • save alerts for significant situations that impact most users: -
      -
    • on the Canada.ca home page, only use when more than 50% of the population is affected
      • -
    • on institutional landing pages, only use when more than 40% of users are impacted
      • -
    -
    • -
  • avoid using alerts just for styling regular content (for emphasis or highlighting)
    • -
- -
-

Which alert to use

-
-
Danger alert (red)
-
Use only if the service is cancelled or if there's a risk to health or safety to Canadians in completing an activity.
-
Warning alert (yellow)
-
Use for delays, closures at certain locations, and other types of service disruptions.
-
Info alert (blue)
-
Use for the length of time an application method takes, changes in wait times on a phone line, messages that there is no service disruption for a particular service if that is generating inquiries.
-
Success alert (green)
-
Use when a service disruption is resolved.
-
-
-

Examples and code

-
-
-

Limited service availability

-

This service is affected by the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19).

- Check service status updates

-
-
-
- HTML to code an alert -

Code:

- 
<section class="alert alert-warning">
-	<h3>Limited service availability</h3>
-	<p>This service is affected by the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19).</p>
-	<a href="#">Check service status updates</a></p>
-</section>
-

Change the "alert-warning" class to "alert-info", "alert-danger" or "alert-success" based on the type of alert needed.

-
-

Use the Contextual alerts pattern

- -

Additional examples

-

Alert examples on specific page types:

- -
-
-

Alerts that repeat across several pages

-

If you need to add the same alert on many different pages, it may make sense to make a single page that all these alerts can link to.

-

The central page will:

-
    -
  • summarize the change in plain language
    • -
  • explain the impact on the users of affected services
    • -
  • be updated as soon as new information arises
    • -
-

The breadcrumb for this central page should lead to the Government of Canada's main response page for the crisis.

-

How this helps

-
    -
  • prevents scattered crisis and service disruption pages
    • -
  • encourages a coordinated approach within each department and across the Government of Canada
    • -
  • reduces the work required to maintain various alerts and related updates
    • -
-
- - -

Latest changes

-
- - -
-
-
Revised headings to say “service disruption” rather than “crisis”. -

- Added a recommendation to include dates in the alert and use the correct verb tense. -

Crisis communications content design checklist

- - -
-
- - - -

From: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

- - - - - -
-

On this page

- -
- -
- -
-

1. Use a mobile-first style

- -

The majority of visits to crisis pages are from visitors on phones.

- -

A low-prose, mobile-first style makes the content more effective, and takes less time for approvals and translation.

- - - -
-
- -
-

2. Do not duplicate content

- -

If content already exists, link to it.

-

This will avoid outdated content in multiple locations such as:

-
    -
  • current cases
    • -
  • travel advisories
    • -
  • awareness resources
    • -
- - -
- -
- -
-

3. Follow a news-based page structure

-
    -
  1. alerts (when required)
    2. -
  2. directions
    3. -
  3. background / static content -
    4. -
- -

Keep actively changing content (alerts, dates, numbers) separate from static content -

-
-
-
-

4. Add the date and timestamp when information changes

- - -

Use this for alerts, changes in policies or directions, or data in tables -

-
-
-
-

5. Follow guidance for alerts and warnings

- - - -
-
-
-

6. Write information as directions

- - -
    -
  • tell people exactly what to do, directly, simply
    • -
  • use “you” to address the public
    • -
  • use “we” to refer to the Government of Canada
    • -
-
- - -
-
-

7. Use headings as answers

- - - -
- - -
-
-

8. Use bulleted lists

- - -
    -
  • easier to scan for desktop and mobile users -
    • -
  • less demand on translation -
    • -
  • if instructions change, it is faster to update than paragraphs -
    • -
-
- - -
-
-

9. Use bold text sparingly

- - -
    -
  • only use to draw attention to keywords -
    • -
  • the more you use it, the less effective it is -
    • -
-
- - - -
-
-

10. Pull links out of paragraphs

- -

Put links below the text, aligned to the left of the page.

-
- - -
-
-

11. Keep sentences short

- -

If you do use full sentences, keep paragraphs short so they fit on a phone screen. -

-
- - - - -
-
-

12. Words to avoid

- - -
    -
  • "current" - unless content is updated daily with a date stamp -
    • -
  • “in order to” - Use single words like “to” (more examples) - -
    • - -
-
- - -
-
-

13. Keep track of common wording and terms

-

Share this list between all communicators (web, social media, strategic communications)

- -
    -
  • avoid channels saying the same thing differently -
    • -
  • reduce demand on translation
    • - -
-
- - - -
-
-

14. Identify pages with emergency related content

-

Keep track of your content that will change frequently to avoid conflicting messaging

- -
- - - -
-
-

15. Create web content, not documents

- - -
    -
  • web content is more accessible
    • -
  • web content is mobile friendly
    • -
  • usability testing has shown that people look for content on the page they land on and miss important information hidden in documents/publications -
    • - -
-
- - -
-
-

Adding structured data on Canada.ca pages

- - -
-
- - -

Adding structured data to a webpage can help deliver better answers to people.

- -
-

On this page

- -
- -
-

What is structured data

-

Structured data is a way to tag content in a “machine-readable” way.

-

It helps search engines make sense of the page by allowing you to add information that clarifies the meaning of the content.

It should help deliver:

- -
    -
  • better and more informative search results (often in Google and Bing)
    • -
  • better voice search results (for services like Alexa and Google Home)
    • -
- -

Search engines control how search results appear and what gets featured in snippets. Adding structured data may or may not change search results.

- -

Example of a rich snippet

-
-A long description can be found after the image. -
-
-Example of a rich snippet: searching for "covid benefits" -

When searching for "covid benefits" on Google, you may get a rich result that shows different sections that can be expanded to provide specific links. Expanding "For individuals" reveals 5 links:

-
    -
  • Employment Insurance (EI) program
    • -
  • Canada Recovery Benefit (CRB)
    • -
  • Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit (CRSB)
    • -
  • Canada Recovery Caregiving Benefit (CRCB)
    • -
  • All support for individuals
    • -
-

-
- -


- -

Structured data needs to be a “true representation” of the page. You can’t add structured data about content that isn't covered in the page.

- -

Adding structured data is just one of the techniques you can use to optimize your content for search. Improving the actual content of the page should always be the first step you take.

- - - -

How to add structured data

-

Step 1: Choose a schema

-

A structured data schema is a set of field-and-value pairs you can use to add meaning to your page.

-

There are multiple schemas you can choose from.

-

Consult the list of schemas on Schema.org or Google, or look at the examples provided on this page.

- - -

Step 2: Write JSON-LD code

- -

While structured data can be written in RDFa, we suggest using JSON-LD instead. JSON-LD is becoming the preferred structured data language of search engines. It also allows a bit more flexibility, like allowing you to inject HTML in the rich snippets of search results.

- -

JSON-LD exists separate from the actual content. If you update the content, remember to adjust the JSON-LD code accordingly.

- -

Because some elements may already be coded in RDFa in your templates, make sure there is no collision between the two.

- -

Use a validator, such as JSONLint, to make sure your JSON-LD code is valid.

- -

Adding JSON-LD in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM)

-

If your page is published in AEM, you can add structured data in JSON-LD by using the structured data component in the page properties.

-

Follow the instructions in GCPedia (only available on the GC network).

- - - -

Step 3: Test the structured data code

-

You can copy code snippets or full URLs to test your code in the Rich results test.

- -

It shows which rich result types (supported by Google) were found on the page, as well as any errors or suggestions for your structured data

- -

By pasting the URL or the code of the page, you can see if it’s valid, and if the values assigned to different fields are the correct ones.

- -

Step 4: Validate HTML code and check accessibility

-

Before you publish the page with structured data, make sure that the HTML is valid and the page is accessible. You can use online validators to help you with this:

- - - -

Step 5: Publish the page, reindex and monitor

-

Once your structured data is published, Google and Bing should reindex the page within a few days.

- -

Check the status of your code in the Canada.ca Google Search Console.

- -

How to measure the impact of structured data

-

You can measure the impact of structured data by looking at the Google Search console. You can get statistics on how the rich snippet is performing, such as:

- -
    -
  • the proportion of the clicks to a page generated from a rich snippet
    • -
  • the search queries that generate rich snippets
    • -
  • whether the click-through rate is different with a rich snippet
    • -
- -

Adding tracking (UTM) codes to hyperlinks in the rich data can also help you understand when people are clicking the links in the rich snippet.

- - -

Schema code and examples

- -
-

SpecialAnnouncement

 -

When to use

-

The SpecialAnnouncement schema is a new experimental schema developed for announcements related to COVID-19. It's mainly for health related information (symptoms, quarantine, testing, etc.), but also for closures, reopenings, and special government benefits.
