Use a list to organise content and improve readability
Lists can be nested within lists
There are two types of list, ordered and unordered
2. Ordered (Numbered)
1. Unordered (Bulleted)
Usage
Use lists to allow a user to quickly scan information that has been categorised (by alphabetical, numerical or chronological order for example).
Do not display lists in a horizontal layout — they should always be vertically orientated.
Use ordered lists for ordered content where steps or hierarchy are important.
Use unordered lists for unordered content where the sequence doesn’t matter.
Writing a list
Organising lists
Each list should have a clear heading or introduction.
If a list exceeds 7-10 items, consider breaking it into smaller sections or adding headings.
Avoid deeply nested lists unless necessary; they can be harder to follow.
Keep Items Concise
Aim for short, scannable phrases rather than long sentences.
Keep each item grammatically parallel (e.g., all verbs or all nouns).
