Service pages are the most commonly used type of page on your site. They're useful if you're creating content that:

• addresses one user need or task
• is relatively brief
• can fit on one single page
• links out to an online form

If the page requires more guidance or information you will need to consider using either:

• Guide pages – if there's more content that's relevant to the user completing the task, but it doesn't follow a strict process. For example types of animal welfare licences
• Step by step pages – if the guidance follows a sequential process. For example registering a death

Examples:

• Correcting a death registration (Croydon)
• Claim a refund (Lambeth)
• How to use a wheelie bin (Brighton & Hove)

Adding a Task button to a Service Page

You can add a 'top task' button at the top of a service page. Just click the 'top tasks' tab and add urls and link text.

Examples:

• Find a school near you (Croydon)
• Apply to join the housing register(Brighton & Hove)
