Lead Story component
Top page element designed to get readers to scroll further down the page
Components are the building blocks of a Sitecore page. Each one is designed to meet our content and accessibility standards, helping your pages look good and work well for Connecticut residents. Every component is tested to make sure it is easy to use, accessible, and works on desktop, tablet, and mobile. Each component has a specific job in the layout of a well‑built page.
To help you understand what each component can look like, we’ve added a link to the full Sitecore Component Library (PDF). This library, created from our CT design team’s visual system, shows every component in all the ways it can be set up. The pictures show how components may look based on the container and style you choose, making it easier to pick the right one when you build a page.
