Accordions

Accordions can be used to show headings but hide content by default until a heading is clicked on.

Use accordions when you have a lot of content and most users will only want to see a subset of it. Avoid accordions if most users will want to see all of the information at once. 

Options include: 

  1. Heading level (h2, h3, etc), which should be based on the rest of the page's content.
  2. Whether the first item is open by default.
  3. Whether more than one item can be viewed at the same time.

You will also need to include the accordion javascript file, and write some javascript to set up the accordion. Talk to the web team for more information.
