Each column includes an icon, a title, and a description, giving you a visually scannable way to present multiple related pieces of information at once - without relying on long paragraphs or nested lists. This makes it particularly effective for showcasing product features, service offerings, or key documentation categories, where readers need to compare or browse options at a glance rather than read sequentially. --- ## When to use the Multicolumn card section - **Feature highlights** - Use it to display your product's key features, each with an icon, a short title, and a one-line description. Readers can quickly understand what the product offers without reading long paragraphs. - **Category navigation** - Present major knowledge base sections as cards, giving readers a quick visual overview of what's available and where to go. - **About or team sections** - Introduce team areas, departments, or service offerings with an icon and short description for each. - **Support tiers or contact options** - Display multiple support channels (e.g. email, chat, docs) side by side with relevant icons and short descriptions. --- ## Add a Multicolumn card section 1.

Long descriptions break the visual balance of the card layout. - **Use consistent icon styles** - mixing filled, outlined, and custom image icons in the same section looks inconsistent. Choose one style and stick to it. - **Use three to four columns** - more than four columns on a standard screen makes each card too narrow to read comfortably. - **Match icon color to your brand** - the icon color setting applies to all icons in the section, so choose a color that complements your site's brand color. - **Use square images if uploading custom icons** - non-square images may appear distorted. Recommended dimensions are 30×30px or 50×50px. --- ## FAQ
