Site-section landing page guidelines
- Marcella Marino
Rules for site-section landing pages (for example: LGBTI equality, Veterans and Women), including the use of campaigns, topics and tags and sidebar components.
Page header section
Title (mandatory)
Intro (mandatory)
Summary (mandatory – this is the meta description that displays in search results and also in the card components)
Feature image – this doesn't display on this page; it displays where this page is linked to from another page using a navigation automated featured link
Key journeys are optional – only use them if you have popular content that you want to always have easily accessible on your landing page (for example, inclusive language guide on the LGBTI equality subsite)
Primary and secondary campaigns
There are 2 campaign banners available – these are used to promote an event or initiative across multiple pages due to its importance.
Primary campaigns can only be used on vic.gov.au home.
Secondary campaigns can be used on site sections. These sit at the bottom of pages just above the footer.

1 x Navigation featured automated link to highlight 1 key piece of content. There must be a feature image attached on the destination/linked page or it won't display properly.
Navigation automated for links to all other main sections of the subsite.
