Overview

The Comparison cards section allows you to display up to four side-by-side cards that compare key features, options or offerings. This layout is ideal for pricing tables, package comparisons, feature breakdowns, or highlighting differences between services.

Each card includes a title, description, optional icon, a list of comparison points, and an optional call-to-action button.


Example


How to add

  1. In the page editor, add a new section.

  2. Select Comparison cards from the list of available paragraph types.

  3. Inside the section, you can add between 1 and 4 cards.

  4. Fill in the fields for each card (see field list below).

  5. Reorder cards if needed to adjust the layout.


Fields

Each card contains the following fields:

Field

Purpose

Notes

Pre title text

Optional text for the top card to help distinguish

Keep short and clear

The main heading of the card

Keep short and clear

Description

Supporting text under the title

Recommended max: ~130 characters

Price / Label field

Optional highlighted value (e.g. £199 / “Free”)

Recommended max: ~28 characters

Comparison points

List of bullet points or key features

Each point should be concise (max ~255 characters per item)

Icon (optional)

Use simple, consistent imagery.

Button label & link (optional)

Adds a call-to-action at the bottom of the card

Only use when an action is expected (e.g. ‘Register’, ‘Learn more’).”


Behaviour & Layout

Device

Layout

Desktop

Cards display in a row (up to 4 across)

Mobile

Cards stack into a single column

Additional behaviors:

  • All cards are equal height so layouts stay aligned.

  • If 4 cards are added, font sizes are adjusted slightly to maintain balance.

  • If only 1 or 2 cards are used, they centre automatically within the available space.


Best practice

  • Keep titles short and descriptions clear — aim for quick scanning.

  • Use consistent phrasing across comparison points (e.g. all starting with verbs or features).

  • Avoid mixing too many visual styles — if using icons, keep them uniform.

  • Only add buttons where an action is expected (e.g. “Register” / “Learn more”).
