Navigation
See examples of navigation blocks (known as nav blocks), spotlights and other page navigation components.
Nav blocks
Nav blocks should always try to follow heading order. If the heading above the nav blocks is a h2, then the nav blocks should use h3 headings. If there is no heading above the nav blocks then they should use h2 headings.
Image sizes should be cropped to 745px by 468px.

Incomplete rows of nav items
If you have an incomplete row of nav items (5 items set to a 3 column nav-block for example) then you must add the class end to the final item in the block. This will left align the item and ensure there are no gaps in the row."

Life at Sussex
Your student experience doesn’t stop when you leave the lecture theatre. That’s why we have over 200 societies, cafés, bars and events on campus. And as we're only nine minutes from Brighton, with its famous beach, shopping streets and festivals, you're never short of things to do.
