# Status Messages

There are four types of status messages that you can use to give the user feedback.

## Usage

You can construct a status message by giving a block element the classes `status-message` and `status-<status>`, where “status” is the type of status you want to convey.

Within this element, you can use headlines and paragraphs as you normally would. Headlines will be automatically colored in the respective status color.

Status messages also come in a more compact version for one-line messages. Activate the short layout with the additional `status-message--short` class.

Confirmation message

            Congratulations! Your request has been
            successfully processed in some way or
            another.
        </p>
    </div>
