Alert Box

The Alert Box module is used to highlight notices and other content that needs to stand out to users. Alert Boxes can be used with or without an alert icon, depending on the amount of a user's attention you want to grab. They can also have their colour customized on a per-box basis.

When to Use this Module

Alert Boxes are best used when you want to highlight specific content on your page, especially time sensitive or critical updates. It is recommended to use concise messaging inside these boxes, and to place them in a prominent place on a webpage (such as at the top).
