Icon Card

The Icon Card component highlights key content in a visually engaging way and can direct users to related pages or resources.
It displays as a flexible rectangular card that can include a title, description, and either an icon or an image, with an optional call-to-action (CTA) button or clickable link.

Authoring

Use the Icon Card to visually emphasize important information or links within a page.
Authors can customize the card by adding text, selecting an icon or uploading an image, choosing a background color, and deciding whether the card should function as a clickable link or simply as a visual element.

Configuring the Properties tab

  • Title – Enter a short, descriptive title for the card.

  • Description – Add supporting text that provides more detail about the content.

  • Background Color – Select a background color that fits your page design.

  • Icon Selector – Choose an icon from the Font Awesome library to visually represent the content.

  • Image – Drag an image to add or click the image icon to choose from Assets Dam.
    • Image is Decorative : 

      If checked, the image will be ignored by screen readers. Use this option only if the image conveys no meaningful content.
    • Image Alt Text: 

      Provides accessible alternative text for the image. 
    • Get Alternative Text from DAM: 

      If checked, the system automatically uses the DAM asset’s alt text metadata.

Configuring the Card Link tab

  • Card Link Type: Choose between two options:
    • Full Card Clickable: Makes the entire card a single clickable area.
    • Button: Displays a separate button within the card for users to click.
      • Button Label: Enter the text that appears on the button 
      • Button Aria Label: Enter an accessible label that provides more context for screen readers.
  • Link: Provide the internal or external URL where the card or button should lead.
  • Open in New Tab: Check this option to open the link in a new browser tab when clicked.

Configuring the Styles

  • Text Color – Adjust the card text color as needed.

    • Use white text for dark backgrounds and dark text for light backgrounds.

  • Card Width – The card width automatically adjusts based on layout and container settings.

Usage Notes

  • The Icon Card supports display without a link.

    • When the Link field is empty, the card will render normally but will not include a hyperlink tag.

    • This allows authors to use the Icon Card for visual or decorative purposes only, without navigation.
