Divider block

What is the Divider block for?

A small visual cue can be enough to make a page feel more organised. Divider places a visible break between two related content sections without forcing you to create a new chapter or full section.

You choose two things: what the divider looks like and how wide it runs. Five styles range from a quiet hairline to a more decorative treatment.

Five styles in practice

Hairline — narrow: the quietest option. Use it when the sections still belong closely together and only need a subtle visual pause.


Thick — wide: signals a stronger shift in rhythm or topic. Useful when the next section has a different emphasis but does not need its own heading.


Gradient — full: visible in the centre and fading softly towards the edges. A good choice for a gentle transition after a stronger visual section.

Dotted — wide: a slightly more playful, less formal option. It can suit lighter content or a visual system that already has a relaxed character.


Ornament ◆ — narrow: adds a small diamond between two fine lines. It has a more editorial, magazine-like feel, so use it sparingly.

Do not put a divider between every block. Too many visible breaks make the page feel fragmented. Use one when there is a real shift in rhythm or topic. If you only need more breathing room, choose a Spacer instead.

What can you configure in the Divider block?

Style and width together determine how quiet or prominent the break feels.

Hairline

A fine 1-pixel line. The most neutral choice between closely related sections.

Thick

A stronger 3-pixel line for a more noticeable change of section or rhythm.

Dotted

A more decorative, lighter line with a less formal feel.

Ornament ◆

A small diamond between two hairlines. The diamond uses the website accent colour.

Gradient

A soft line that is strongest in the centre and fades towards the edges.

Short / Narrow / Wide / Full

Choose from four line widths. Full means the maximum width of the content band, not necessarily the entire screen.

A SUBTLE CHANGE OF RHYTHM

A divider works best when it creates order without calling attention to itself.

Use only as strong a visual mark as the content shift needs — and when space alone is enough, do not draw a line.
