Profile

The Profile component shows an avatar (image) on your page, with supporting text to display key information.

Usage

Use profile to highlight key information to users by showing an avatar image with summary content. This highlights key information to users.

Each row of content includes a:

  • label
  • summary.

It's used to display key information, including:

  • name
  • date
  • category.

Only use the profile component for displaying simple information. For data or complex information, consider using a table.

When and how to use

  • Keep label as short as possible (under 2 words, like a name).
  • Keep all content clear and concise.
  • Display at the top of profile pages.
  • Always add alt text to the image.
  • Only use an image that's relevant to the summary.

When and how not to use

  • Never use a label that doesn't match the summary.
  • Don't use unimportant, complex or longform content.
  • Don't include punctuation.
  • Never use full URLs in the label or summary.
