Link Indicator for leaving the site #1144

Open smsada opened 2 years ago

smsada commented 2 years ago

Overview

We want to communicate when a user will be leaving our site to comply with new practice of identifying external links.

Description

We want to have an icon that signifies when an action will cause the user to leave the site next to our hyperlinks

Action Items

[x] Think of best way to integrate the icon below into the button on "Become a Volunteer"
- Icon doesn't need to exist on the Become a Volunteer button if there can be a work around
- UI/UX should think of how to communicate a user is leaving the site
[ ] Make visual changes on the website based on UI/UX recommendations
- Changes should be implemented by front end
