Cards

Cards are used to organize content on a page. You will be limited to 4 cards per row. 

There are two options for cards: bordered or borderless. Bordered cards place a thin grey border around the card perimeter, while borderless cards do not. 


How to Create Cards

  1. Create a page or edit an existing one.
  2. Click Add Cards.
  3. Select number of cards per row (3 is standard, but up to 4 cards are allowed).
  4. Under Card Style, choose between Bordered or Borderless.
  5. Choose a Card Title Style, either Title Within Card (default), or Title on Image.
  6. Choose a heading level for your card titles using the Card Title Level dropdown (the heading level of your card title).
  7. Select a Card Title Display Size (visual title display size).
  8. Check or uncheck the Clickable Cards box, which will make the entire card clickable rather than just the link.
  9. Under Additional Options:
    • Select the desired amount of space at the bottom of the card row before the next element displays under Additional Options > Bottom Spacing.
    • You can also edit the display on tablets and phones. More detail is provided in Alternative Displays below.
  10. Add a title. Adding text in the Card Group Title field will create a title that appears above your group of cards. This is optional.
  11. Select Card BackgroundAdd Media, enter a Card Title, select Card Title Alignment, enter a Card Body, and add a link with the fields Card Link Title and Card Link URL, and Card Link Style. (All fields are optional.)
  12. Click Add another item to add more cards.
  13. Save.

Card One

This card is set to be clickable, but since no link is specified for this card, it cannot be clicked.

Sample Cards with Title Styles Applied

Below is a row of cards with Title Display Size and Title Alignment styles set to non-default values.

Within a card deck, you can also choose the number of cards displayed on a tablet or phone under Additional Options. Both these displays allow up to 4 cards per row, but it is recommended to leave the display settings at default.

Below are examples of the alternative card deck sizes and the different card colors. On the left is the mobile display, and on the right is the tablet display.
