What is it?
An Announcement is a horizontal red banner, placed at the top of a website, used to display an important notice.
Elements
- Title: The title of the announcement.
- Text: The announcement itself.
- Call to action link (optional): Goes to more details about the important notice announcement.
How do you use it?
- Place at the top of the page for maximum visibility.

- Reserve for high-priority updates (deadlines, closures, alerts).
- Avoid overuse — excessive announcements diminish their impact.
- Only use one announcement at a time. Do not put multiple announcements together in a container.
