Load Spinner
Load Spinner
The Spinner Load component provides clear visual feedback during short, indeterminate wait times, letting users know the system is actively processing their request. Designed with a smooth looping animation, it maintains a sense of responsiveness without feeling intrusive. This component supports user confidence during transitions and contributes to a seamless, uninterrupted interaction flow across the interface.

Two Column Feature
Two Column Feature
The Two Column Feature presents product or service information using a flexible left-right layout that pairs imagery with content. Each property is designed to support multiple use cases, allowing the image and text to be swapped easily while maintaining visual balance. It adapts automatically on mobile, removing the need for manual layout adjustments from content managers and ensuring consistent structure across pages.

Header
Header
The Header component groups key elements: title, paragraph, CTA, and supporting attributes to clearly introduce content within a section. Designed with semantic levels from H1 to H3, it supports various hierarchies such as hero headers or subsection introductions. With left and center alignment variants, the component offers flexibility while maintaining visual clarity and consistent messaging across different page types.

Small Button
Small Button
The Small Button is optimized for form-related interactions, matching the height of input fields to create a cohesive and structured layout. It distinguishes secondary or supporting actions from the primary form action, which uses the regular button. This hierarchy helps users identify next steps easily, ensuring clarity between minor interactions and the final confirmation or submission within a form flow.

Campaign Banner
Campaign Banner
The Campaign Banner extends the Alert Banner into a larger, more attention-driven format tailored for sales and promotional content. With increased size, stronger color emphasis, and optional sticky positioning, it ensures key messages remain visible as users browse. This component helps highlight time-sensitive offers effectively while maintaining alignment with Toyota’s overall visual communication system.

Date Picker
Date Picker
The Date Picker provides an intuitive interface for selecting dates and times within booking or scheduling flows. Designed around an interactive calendar, it reduces input errors and increases efficiency by guiding users through structured selection steps. The component adapts well across devices and aligns with form elements, ensuring a smooth and consistent experience wherever date entry is required.
