Why Use Card Layouts?
Cards are versatile containers that group related information together. They're perfect for displaying collections of items—products, articles, services, team members—in a scannable format.
Card Anatomy
- Image/Media: Visual that draws attention
- Title: Clear, descriptive heading
- Description: Brief supporting text
- Action: CTA or link to learn more
- Metadata: Date, category, price, etc.
Card Layout Grids
Common configurations include 2, 3, or 4 columns on desktop, collapsing to single column on mobile. Use consistent spacing between cards for visual harmony.
