Display information more dynamically with a set of cards — with or without images |
You can use cards to create a visually pleasing page layout, combining text and images in a grid. They’re ideal for building landing pages or displaying any other content in a non-linear way.
You can adjust switch between medium or large cards and link them to the relevant resources.

Clicking Add cover will open the Select image side panel — you can drag and drop a new image into this, or use an image file you’ve previously uploaded to your space.
The key to great looking cards is making sure all the images in a card block have the same ratio. For example:
- 16:9 (eg. 1920px x 1080px)
- 4:3 (eg. 1024px x 768px)
- 1:1 (eg. 500px x 500px)
By using images with the same ratio, all your cards will perfectly align on the page. This means that titles and text below your images will also stay aligned, for a great reading experience.
You can select the card size by opening the Options menu

You can make card blocks span the full width of your window by clicking on the Options menu
