What is a Tabs Block?

The Tabs Block allows you to present a variety of content in a tabbed style, giving the user the ability to control which content they view.

How it Works

The Tabs Block a similar design choice to a Slider Block or Accordion Block in that you’re nesting content to keep the page tidier and easier on the eyes. Just like those other two blocks, the Tabs Block is a parent block that comes with Tab Items to manage individual content (ie. each tab) within the main Tabs Block. And don’t worry about the SEO implications – tabbed content is still visible to search engines within the page code.

The Tabs Block is also a parent block. Each tab in the Tabs Block supports all other Refoundry blocks, meaning you can create any layout you want within each tab. This allows you to build responsive layouts within each item to support a variety of needs for nested content. Popular uses are courses or curriculums and product specs.
