Media Blocks

Media blocks are customizable combinations of photos, videos, icons, headlines, and short text. They are used for navigation or to call attention to featured content.

Media blocks are are a great option to break up text and make pages scannable. They can include call-to-action buttons or links, and their layout can be adjusted based on the page content. Contact an NREL.gov content specialist for ideas about how to apply media blocks on your page or site.

Navigation Blocks

Navigation blocks include photos with linked headers and are are used on landing pages to direct users to subpages.

Navigation Blocks With Short Text

The text in these blocks should be 100 characters or less. The header is always linked.

Navigation Blocks With Long Text

Use a horizontal desktop layout for blocks with text that is more than 100 characters. Headers may be linked or not linked, but their treatment should be consistent within the page.
