Tables

Occasionally, you may want to make a table to show data in a tabular format. Please keep in mind the following best practices:

  • Only use the table builder when your content calls for it, not for styling purposes. This could confuse individuals who use screen readers. 
  • Make sure to include a header row for context — it’s a toggle in the right sidebar of the header builder “Block” when you’re using the builder
  • Keep it simple! Use a maximum of two rows. If that’s not possible, your content may be too complex.

Here is a good example of a table:

NameContact information
Person 1person1@ct.gov
Person 2person2@ct.gov
