Layout elements
Layout elements define where content sits. Add them before filling in text, media, and forms so responsive spacing stays predictable.
Core layout blocksβ
| Element | Role |
|---|---|
| Container | Primary layout unit; holds sections, rows, and nested elements. |
| Tab | Tabbed layout with headers for each panel. |
| Slider | Carousel-style layout for multiple panels. |
| Spacer | Vertical or horizontal whitespace control. |
| Divider | Visual separator between sections. |
| Menu | Navigation menu for links and branding areas. |
| Footer | Page footer region with columns or links depending on template. |
Building patternsβ
- Drop a Container where you need a new section.
- Inside it, add rows or inner containers depending on your template habits.
- Use Spacer and Divider to tune rhythm instead of stacking empty paragraphs.
- Place Menu and Footer once per page layout unless your design intentionally repeats them.
Responsive designβ
- Collapse Menu items for mobile inside the elementβs responsive controls when available.
- Test slider and tab gestures on touch devices.
Frequently asked questionsβ
Container versus section templates?
Container is the atomic layout box. Section templates speed up inserting pre-designed container trees from the template picker.
Can I nest sliders?
Technically possible but usually harms UX. Prefer a single slider per viewport region.
