  • Local Primary Navigation

    The Local Primary Navigation provides hierarchical intra-site navigation.

  • Site Footer

    The Site Footer provides customizable HTML content and links to support HBS sites.

  • Site Header

    The Site Header contains required per-site Design System needs.

Content Components

Content Components are used by content creators to build pages. They make up most of the HBS Design System and are used to present almost any type of content to site visitors.

  • Toppers

    Toppers are singleton components required to start pages.

  • Blocks

    Blocks are repeatable components used to create page content.

  • Template-Specific Singletons

    Template-Specific Singletons are components optionally used once on specific templates.

Primitives

Primitives are elemental components combined to create compound components. The primary users are developers expanding the HBS Design System.
