Tabs block

What is the Tabs block for?

Alternative views in the same place. Tabs work when visitors usually need only one of several related versions — for example by audience, plan, region or perspective.

Do not hide information everyone needs behind a non-default tab.

Simple decision rule: if a visitor is likely to care about only one option, tabs are natural. If everyone should read every option, use sections one after another instead.

Useful ways to divide tabbed content

  • Audience: Individuals / Businesses / Partners
  • Plan: Start / Business / Pro
  • Perspective: Features / Integrations / Security
  • Location: Budapest / Vienna / Prague

Example: Side list style

The list of tabs on the left, each with a second line, the content beside it. On a phone it becomes a row you can swipe.

For individuals

Present the same service from the perspective of someone looking for a personal solution. Highlight the individual benefits, an easy starting point and a clear next step.

Example: Pills style

A segmented switch in a tinted track, the tab's content on a card. Suits two or three short options.

Monday to Friday

The studio is open from 10 am to 7 pm, and evening courses start at 6 pm.

What can you configure in the Tabs block?

You control the number of tabs, their style and alignment, and the blocks inside each tab.

Tabs

Two to four tabs is usually easiest to scan. Keep labels short and parallel in structure.

Content per tab

Each tab can contain its own blocks, such as text, a callout box or a button.

Tab style

Underline (the default), Pills or Side list. The Underline and Pills rows sit left, centred or stretched across; the Side list stands on the left or the right.

Background →

Keep the block on the page background or place it in a custom or dark band that can extend to the screen edge.

Content width →

Choose Reading, Wide or Full depending on how much room the tab content needs.

Second line and narrow screens

In the Side list every tab can have an optional second line. In a narrow space every style becomes a row you can swipe, and the tabs are large enough to hit easily with a finger.

ORGANISE, DON'T HIDE

Tabs work when they give visitors a genuine choice of view.

Use short, parallel labels and only place content behind them when it really is an alternative rather than required reading.
