The Design System offers a variety of navigation elements to help users locate specific features and content. Navigation, in this case, could be generally defined as the set of actions and techniques guiding users throughout the Broward College website, enabling them to fulfill their goals and successfully interact with the site.

Eyebrow Navigation

This global navigation is used across all pages (except microsites). 

Announcements

Announcements are located in the eyebrow navigation as the bell icon. 

Accessibility Options Navigation

This menu is keyboard accessible (via the Tab button)

BC Alert

When activated, collegewide BC Alert (reddish-orange banner) will display at the top of every page unless manually disabled on a page-by-page basis.

Main Menu

This global menu is used across all pages (except microsites).

Site Search

Site search is available via the Main Navigation, on every page (except microsites). Site search is powered by the third-party tool, Cludo. Users can type their search or use the voice feature. Users are presented with suggested results as they type their query. A dedicated page will display all Search Results matching the query.

Custom Navigation for Microsites

This option will strip out most main navigation elements, including eyebrow, main, site search, announcements, and footer. BC Alert messages can be kept ON or OFF depending on the purpose of the microsite. The custom navigation allows for the use of a Marketing-approved custom logo, menu link with submenu links, and call-to-action (CTA) buttons.

Left Navigation/Sidebar

This navigation can be manually added per page and offers the option for links and sublinks.

Social Share

  • Custom: Embed a custom chat option
• Alternative Content Formats powered by Blackboard Ally
