Style Guide
Purpose of this page
This page contains all the styles available on this website. When creating or modifying a page or post, use this as a reference for how it should look.
We recommend reading this entire page before working on the website, so you have an understanding of our design philosophy.
What is a style guide and why do we use one?
A style guide is a set of standards for how pages should be designed on a website. This page contains all the styles available, guidance on when to use them, and how to implement them.
It’s important we all follow these guidelines to ensure we maintain a consistent feel that meets best practices online—both now and in the future.
A style guide carries many benefits:
- An easy reference to the styles available to use.
- Creates a consistent user experience. All our code has been rigorously tested.
- Allows for control over the design so no one can go rogue.
- Forces us to be lean. Jeff Atwood says “The best code is no code at all.” We want to keep a clean and simple codebase that is easy to maintain.
- To enforce best practices to ensure our website meets all usability guidelines.
- Makes onboarding new people easier as the website is well documented.
Corporate branding
Style guides normally contain information on branding, colors, and typography. Our corporate branding can be found in Corporate identity guidelines for CRE. To save duplication, we will keep all branding information in that document.
Coding guidelines
Before writing any new code for our website, please consider the following quote from Jeff Atwood.
“The best code is no code at all. Every new line of code [or feature] you willingly bring into the world is code that has to be debugged, code that has to be read and understood, code that has to be supported. Every time you write new code, you should do so reluctantly, under duress, because you completely exhausted all your other options.”
Jeff Atwood, Effective Programming: More Than Writing Code
The structure of our CSS uses a simplified version of ITCSS by Harry Roberts. ITCSS follows conventions of layering CSS on top of each other from low specificity (such as headings and paragraphs) to more specific ones (such as elements with classes). This organization helps us avoid specificity wars which can lead to bloated and unmanageable code.
Naming is the hardest part of coding. We want all our names to be understandable, easy to remember and descriptive to their function. To help us achieve this, we use two naming conventions called namespacing and BEM. Both these naming conventions work in combination, allowing us to understand their structure and function from inspecting the HTML—so there is no need to delve into the codebase itself.
Namespacing is the convention of prefixing class names to indicate if its function and scope. For example, utilities are prepended with u- and JavaScript is prepended with js-. Namespacing can also signify a temporary change based on the state of an element. For example, using is- and has- on a menu item could signify if the user is currently browsing that page. More on the available prefixes on this website in the next section.
BEM helps us to visualize the structure of the HTML and see which elements are reliant upon each other to be styled correctly. BEM stands for block, element, and modifier—seperated by underscores and dashes respectively. Underscores show an element is reliant on its parent and dashes show it’s modified from the default. It’s important you fully understand BEM before making any modifications to the CSS of this website.
Namespacing and BEM provide structure to our classes but don’t suggest how we should name them. Always choose a name that reflects it’s function and not contents—allowing that element to be reusable. Some user interface elements or components (we’ll reference as components from now) already have industry recognized names (such as accordion, tabs, widget, modal) so before creating a new name, check that someone else hasn’t already done the hard work. All names should be singular including classes, files, and folders.
The structure of our style guide
Our style guide is arranged into sections based on the function of that element or component.
- Base. These are default styles applied to every element on the website. Everything inside base doesn’t require a class. Base elements include typography, forms, and images.
- Components. These are styles that require a specific class and/or HTML structure to create that piece of UI. Any changes should not impact any other part of the website. Components include widgets, buttons, notifications, and navigation.
- Utilities. These are single function classes. They perform a very specific role. They should not be bound to, and changes should be made with caution. Utilities use the namespacing prefix of
u-orl-. Utilities include containers, visibility. - JavaScript. Any interaction or animation that requires JavaScript should be isolated into its own class. This allows it to be reusable and visible to anyone working on the website. JavaScript uses the namespacing prefix of
js-.
Base (default styles)
Typography
All the following styles require no additional classes. It is the “out of the box” styling for the typography on our website.
To demonstrate the styles, we use the Li Europan lingues placeholder text, which is useful because it has an indented structure.
I am the big heading
The European languages are members of the same family. Their separate existence is a myth.
The European languages are members of the same family. Their separate existence is a myth. For science, music, sport, etc, Europe uses the same vocabulary. The languages only differ in their grammar, their pronunciation, and their most common words. Everyone realizes why a new common language would be desirable: one could refuse to pay expensive translators.

- The European languages are members of the same family.
- Their separate existence is a myth.
- The new common language will be more simple and regular than the existing European languages.
- It will be as simple as Occidental; in fact, it will be Occidental.
- To an English person, it will seem like simplified English, as a skeptical Cambridge friend of mine told me what Occidental is.
- The European languages are members of the same family.
- Their separate existence is a myth. For science, music, sport, etc, Europe uses the same vocabulary.

Form
All forms should be style consistently. Below shows all available input types and how they should appear on any form created. If the field is required, add the class required.
Note: Most forms on the website are generated using a plugin. We recommend using that plugin to add or modify forms. When using the plugin it will generate slightly different HTML to the example below but will look the same.
Image
All images will resize to fit their containers. Images will stretch beyond its natural size so if the container is wider than the image it will stop resizing.
Note: Images are automatically resized so they work on all screen sizes. This cannot, and should not, be overridden.
Note: Some legacy images on the website are quite small. In these cases, it’s often more practical to allow them to be wider than their natural maximum size. To allow this to happen, increase the width of the <img> tag.
Table
Tables are styled without applying any classes. They will stretch to the width of their container, regardless of whether the contents are narrower.
Note: Only use tables for tabular data.
Note: Tables don’t work well responsively so we recommend using them in conjunction with the .responsive-table component.
| Column heading 1 | Column heading 2 |
|---|---|
| Value 1.0 | Value 2.0 |
| Value 1.1 | Value 2.1 |
| Value 1.2 | Value 2.2 |
| Value 1.3 | Value 2.3 |
Components
Button
You can style any link to look like a button by adding the .button class.
Form buttons are automatically styled to look like buttons. You don’t need to add any additional classes.
If you wish to make a full-width button you can add the modifier class .button--block to the link or form button.
Some buttons link to pages with video testimonials. To indicate this we have a button with a play icon. Add the modifier class .button--play to the link or form button.
To make a button solid green, add the modifier class .button--primary to the link. Form buttons already have this styling applied.
Caption
WordPress editor uses .wp-caption for its captions. For the sake of simplicity and consistency, we will use this class name everywhere.
Captions will automatically be styled when images are uploaded and embedded using the WordPress editor. If you’re not using the WordPress editor, you can wrap the image and text in a div with the class .wp-caption.
When using gallery images, captions can’t be applied to the group of images. Instead we need to manually add a caption by adding the class .wp-caption-text to the following paragraph. This is an available format in the WordPress editor.
Checklist
This is a list with ticks instead of the default circular bullet. To create a checklist add the class .checklist to the unordered list.
- Conversion secrets of a million-dollar landing page.
- Advanced tips for highly converting websites.
- Bonus tip: hearing the voice of the customer.
- Plus email notification of new tools, research, and conversion insights as soon as we get them.
Video embed
Video embeds ensure all videos stretch to the width of their container, are responsive, and use the 16:9 aspect ratio. To use the video embed, wrap the object or video inside a div with the class .video-embed.
When embedding video using the WordPress editor these styles will automatically be applied. To embed a video paste the URL of the video into the editor and it will automatically embed. Do not use embed code as it could cause visual issues for smaller screens.
Media object
A media object is a two column layout with a media column on the left and a text column on the right. The media column has a fixed width and the image inside will resize to fit that width.
There are three available classes for a media object:
- Default which uses the class
.media-object.

Peter has worked with legendary marketers David Ogilvy and Drayton Bird, and advises all sizes of businesses from startups through to global enterprises.
Logo table
The logo table uses a list to display a grid of logos. This is primarily used to display client logos. Spacing is automatically added to each logo so they sit in the middle of each cell.
Note: This pattern works best when it contains a number that is divisible by three. This is because the last three items in the grid do not display a border at the bottom.
Some of our clients in software and SaaS.
Overlay
An overlay is an opaque layer that sits on top of all the page content. It appears when initiating a drawer. The overlay is clickable and will hide itself and any drawers that are open.
Drawer
A drawer is a content box that overlays the page content. It slides in from the right-hand side. This is used to display the main menu on devices with small screens. Initiating the drawer will also initiate an overlay.
Responsive table
Often tables will not fit on smaller screens. The responsive table component allows the table to scroll horizontally when there is not enough space for it to fit.
By wrapping two divs around a table and adding the class .responsive-table and .responsive-table__body.
Note: We recommend always using the responsive table, even if you don’t think it’s necessary, to ensure there are no layout issues.
Sample output
A sample output is a scrollable box that contains HTML to demonstrate what an element looks like. It’s used in this document to demonstrate various elements and components. To display some sample output, wrap a div around some HTML with the class .sample-output.
You can add sample output inside the WordPress editor by highlighting a section and selecting “Sample block” inside the formats dropdown.
Testimonial
Testimonials include an author image, logo, text and some call to actions. They’re used throughout the site to display client testimonials and industry recognition.

Utilities
Container
Containers are full-width elements that contain the content within a certain width. All containers use a percentage width with varying maximum widths.
There are three different containers that can be used.
- Default which uses the class
.u-container. If you’re unsure which to use, use this. - Small which uses the class
.u-container-sm. Applies a narrow maximum width which is ideal for text. - Large which uses the class
.u-container-lg. Applies a wide maximum width which is ideal for headers, footers and very wide content.
Layout
A layout contains two columns of different widths. This pattern is used for the default page layout with a sidebar and main content. On small screens, the columns will stack (unless the sidebar is hidden using visibility classes) and side by side on larger screens.
This page is a demonstration of a two column layout.
Spacing
Spacing utilities reset the padding or margin of an element. To reset the padding or margin, add either .u-no-padding or .u-no-margin.
Section
A section adds margin above and below. Section spacing increases the larger the screen becomes. To create a section, wrap your content in a div and add either .u-section.
Note: If two sections are placed one after another the spacing between them will collapse.
Visibility
Visibility classes show and hide content at different breakpoints. This website has two different breakpoints for small and large screens.
The following visibility classes are available:
.u-hiddenhides the element at all times..u-visibledisplays the element at all times. Note: This will force the element to display block..u-hidden-mobilehides the element for small screens only..u-visible-desktophides the element for large screens only..u-visible-mobileshows the element for small screens only..u-visible-desktopshows the element for large screens only.
Clearfix
A clearfix is a way to force an element to contain its children elements. It’s generally used in combination with floats that break the normal layout flow. It can also be used to stop margins from collapsing into each other. To add a clearfix, wrap your content in a div and add the class .u-clearfix.
