Wells
Wells are used to highlight specific information within a designated section of a page. This breaks up the flow of content on the page and helps to emphasize and set apart the content that is included.

Use case
Use sparingly to attract users’ attention to a concise piece of content. Ideally, content within a well should not take up more than a third of page content.
Full width text, images, and embedded media (like video) may be placed within wells, however, if content includes imagery also consider the featured content module.
