Side by Side Card

The Side by Side Card is part of the Ionic Layout Component Set. This card includes an image on either the left or right of the card and text on the opposite.  

Ideas for Using Side by Side Card

  • Combine a headshot of a speaker, author, leader, or team member with a brief bio. Link the Component to a LinkedIn profile, email, or another Page in the app for additional information.
  • Provide your customers with a timeline of key milestones. Stack multiple Components on a Page. Use the headline to display the year and subheadline to add details about the accomplishment. Display photos of new leaders, new office locations, or the evolution of a brand logo.
  • Give your customers quick access to production information. Display a product photo and link to the product manual in Documents.
    • Pro Tip: If you have multiple Side by Side cards above and below each other, alternate which side the image appears, this will help each card pop.

If you’d like to have the text appear below an image, checkout Card: Standard.

Side by Side Card Placement Settings

  • Column Start - Sets the column where the Component will start. 
  • Column Span - Sets how many columns the Component will span. 
  • Padding - Sets how much space will appear on the top, bottom, left, and right of the Component. When building a Page with multiple Components, the Padding will determine the overall spacing between Components.

If Optimal is selected, the Component will only show if the browser supports the app. The main supported browsers are Chrome and Safari.
