Contact Us Block

Use Cases

The Contact Details block is helpful for content creators to provide users with relevant information on how a unit can be contacted, where they are located and the unit’s business hours.

Within the Contact Details block, five types of information can be included: “Email”, “Hours”, “Phone”, “Mailing Address” and “Office Location”. These cards can be added and removed freely, making it easy for content maintainers to decide what information they want to feature.

The Contact Details block will prove to be most effective when featured on pages like an “About” or “Contact” section of a website. It’s also advised to only use the contact card types that your team will need. For example, make sure to only included contact options for which users would receive a prompt response.
