Section Index

A page or document index that gives a quick route into major sections.

When To Use

Use	Avoid
A page or document index that gives a quick route into major sections.	Avoid using this component when the content has a different job or needs a simpler plain-text treatment.
Use navigation to show location, choices, progression, or related sections without making people remember where they are.	Avoid changing approved colours, typography, logo artwork, or class names to create a local style guide.
Use the starter markup as a copy/paste baseline for websites, Ghost HTML blocks, generated pages, or print previews.	Avoid copying placeholder IDs, links, contact details, or image paths without replacing them.

Checklist

Brand colours, typography, and logo use are inherited from the approved master brand.
The first-read message or action is clear.
Labels, headings, links, and alternative text are meaningful.
Keyboard focus, colour contrast, and reading order are covered where the component is interactive.
The component survives its final output: mobile, desktop, Ghost CMS, A4 print, poster, signage, or email.
