Yukon.ca specific guidance for contact information

Use for

Tasks where users need to contact you for a particular reason. For example, submitting an application or reporting a human-animal conflict.

Do not use for

All pages as a standard element. We want users to be able to self-serve on Yukon.ca. When they have to stop a task to call us, it's inconvenient for them and it takes time. Be clear on your web page to avoid unnecessary contact.

Rule

Only add contact information to your web page within the context of a task. If part of the process is to submit an application, list the contact information where it makes sense. Look at existing pages on Yukon.ca for examples.

Purpose

To help a user complete a task. You may add contact information in the dedicated field at the bottom of a page if it makes sense for your page, but provide context and do not use this as a default format.

Examples

Contact information in context

  1. Complete the application form.
  2. Submit the application.
