Throughout the Credence site, the user encounters many opportunities to make selections and input important information. The following section illustrates how these important areas of interaction should appear and function.

Floating action buttons

Floating action buttons (FAB) are used to highlight primary CTAs. FABs should be different than other buttons used on the page to highlight their importance.

Filters

Filters are used to organize information into categories. They exist in active state and inactive state.

Text fields

Text fields appear in a variety of states. In an active/hover state, a user can type directly into the field. In a disabled state, the field is grayed out and inactive. An error state appears when a user enters invalid text.

Text areas

Text areas are fields that allow for lengthy user responses or multi-line text input. These fields should have a clearly stated character limit.

Form fields

Make forms as clean and scannable as possible. Only collect the most relevant information from users to reduce the number of input fields.

Tooltips

Tooltips offer additional, important website content. (E.g., How to find your Group Number) Icons will appear as an “?” inside a circle. A modal window will then pop up displaying the additional information.
