In Web Design, the term Kitchen sink, comes from the phrase "everything but the kitchen sink" or "everything and the kitchen sink". The Kitchen Sink page is meant to BE everything in one place, so you can compare and contrast available options for a site.
Each section on this page includes a link to its relevant guidelines page with detailed instructions for adding widgets and content to your site.
Text
Text widgets and "Rich Text areas" in general support a number of formats by default with "Basic HTML" text formatting including Normal text, Headings 2 through 6, Links, Bold, Italics, Numbered lists, Bulleted lists, Blockquotes, and Images. You will find the same format options in the Rich Text Areas of other widgets, as you do in the Text Widget
Text fonts, sizes, and styles:
Heading 2: Crimson Text, 42px
Heading 3: Source Sans Pro, 28px
Heading 4: Crimson Text, 26px
Heading 5: Source Sans Pro, 22px
Heading 6: Source Sans Pro, 20px, All Caps
Normal: Source Sans Pro, 18px
Normal text formatted with bold
Normal text formatted with italics
Links are formatted to match the templates. Avoid using non-descriptive terms like "Click Here", "Read More", or similar terms that provide little to no context for what someone will be clicking on while using screen readers or similar accessibility tools.
Headings should be short and to the point. A very long title, like this one, will return to a new line, and can be overwhelming.
Use an Accessible Heading Order
For accessibility compliance, use Headings in numerical order, as if creating a list outline, and without skipping any. “Normal” text is the exception, and can appear anywhere in that order. Skipping a heading for any reason (i.e.: using a Heading 1, followed by a Heading 3, and skipping Heading 2) can cause confusion, especially for someone who relies on a screen reader to browse a site. Users might think they missed some piece of content. Learn more about accessibility compliance for headings, and general accessibility compliance at the Web Accessibility Initiative.

Blockquote Example
This is a blockquote that can be added to text areas. Use the ” (double quotation mark) icon to add a blockquote to any text area that supports it. Alternately use the Blockquote widget.
See the Blockquote widget example below, or Review the blockquote widget guidelines for more information.
Images can be added into text sections with Left, center, right, or no alignment
Examples of images at different alignments below with filler text to show what they look like. On mobile they will re-align to take up the full width of the screen.

Hitting ‘Play’ at Home
Spoofing our reliance on shopping and technology while omitting any human presence, the enigmatic and boldly animated videos by Jonathan Monaghan MFA ’11 star in a new—and timely—online exhibit at the Art Gallery.
Queen of Costumes
For a costume designer who’s spent her career reflecting the African American experience in film and television, it was an intriguing prospect: envision the look of a futuristic African kingdom that’s rich in vibranium, not to mention helmed by a superhero. The charge to help give the fictional Wakanda a ring of authenticity and make it reflect the depth of African tribal customs and cultures sent Ruth E. Carter on a research odyssey that took her from Los Angeles to Atlanta to the Lesotho nation, working with a team of shoppers, designers, mold and jewelry makers and more.
Off the Wall
hough born a century apart, singer Marian Anderson and 18th-century feminist Frances Wright are strolling through the halls of the National Portrait Gallery when suddenly they come across a series of photographs of Anderson. “Marian, this is all you!” cries Wright in her English lilt. Soon, the pair are discussing Anderson’s European travels and Wright’s birthplace across the pond.
Maryland Today: A Mission to Heal
After serving as an Army psychological operations team leader in Iraq, Ben King quickly learned that what had helped him survive in a war zone wasn’t conducive to thriving in civilian life. “When you’re in a combat environment, mentally it’s just putting the mission first—when it comes to what’s going on for you, it’s very simple: You just disregard it,” King said. Detaching from his internal struggles soon led to drinking to help fall asleep, ignoring physical pain and powering through any emotional turmoil.
Tabs
Keep Tab titles short or they will return to a new line. Each tab includes versions of the Text, Blockquote, Button, Image, and Table section (as well as advanced ones like: Webform, and View).
- Tab Item 1 — Basics: Text
- Tab Item 2 — Intermediate: Blockquotes, Buttons, and Images
- Tab Item 3 — Advanced: Tables, and Views
Text Sections within Tab Items support the same formatting options as self contained Text Sections including Normal text, Headings 2 through 6, Links, Bold, Italics, Numbered lists, Bulleted lists, Blockquotes, and Images.

Buttons and Link Sets
Buttons sets have the same style options as those found in bootstrap, The main two used at UMD are Primary, and Secondary. Whether using Button or Link Sets, it is advised to keep titles short, though Link Sets can support slightly longer titles as they appear in a vertical list.

Card Groups (Light and Dark)
Card examples with or without images, and with or without links.
Guidelines for Card Group Widgets
Card title, keep it catchy, keep it short
Text areas support a number of formats by default with "Basic HTML" text formatting including Normal text, Headings 2 through 6, Links, Bold, Italics, Numbered lists, Bulleted lists, Blockquotes, and Images.
Card groups help break up related content into manageable chunks for easier understanding, or as a teaser for longer articles/pages.
Cards do not need to include links
Cards without a link do not behave interactively (no hover effects). As mentioned in the previously, Card Groups provide another way to present information with or without an accompanying image for each card.
Like with the card's title, keep the content in text areas short; no more than a couple of short paragraphs. If this card links to a page or article, think of this space as the summary to that page or that article.
Notice this link is within the body text of the card, and does not cause the whole card to become interactive (no hover effect).
Cards can be presented with and without images
Without an image, cards still fill the full height of the space they occupy. If the card has a link, it will still behave interactively with a hover effect.
Filler text: Suspendisse faucibus interdum posuere lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur. Tincidunt augue interdum velit euismod. Non tellus orci ac auctor augue. Feugiat nisl pretium fusce id. Nulla facilisi cras fermentum odio eu feugiat pretium.

Image (Light and Dark)
The Image Section offers space for a single image that take up the entire width of content on the page. Make sure images are large enough.
Image with Text (Left and Right Aligned)
While text sections support the addition of images, there is a separate "Image with Text" section. Each section supports one image along with a text area. Images can be aligned left or right. Images are pulled from the site's media library (accessible on the admin panel), so you can include images that have been previously uploaded, as well as newly uploaded images. Descriptive "alt-text" is required on each image during the upload process.
Guidelines for Image with Text Widgets
Text areas support a number of formats by default with "Basic HTML" text formatting including Normal text, Headings 2 through 6, Links, Bold, Italics, Numbered lists, Bulleted lists, Blockquotes, and Images.

Carousel (Light and Dark)
Carousels have the same options as Slideshows, with one key difference. They take up less space on the page, and instead open to take up the whole screen when clicked.
Guidelines for Carousel Widgets
Slideshows (Light and Dark)
The first slideshow uses the light theme, and offers 5 examples of slides in varying configurations.
Guidelines for Slideshow Widgets
Video (Light and Dark)
The video section supports videos published to youtube. Follow the "Video Content Tips" on the Admin Panel to properly embed the video.
Event and News Feeds
Event feeds and News feeds are populated from content stored in the universities hub (hub.umd.edu), which is managed by the Office of Strategic Communications. Both feeds use a modified version of the Card Group Section to display content.
