The Gradient Service Cards widget is a visually striking navigation element designed to showcase core services, categories, or portfolio projects with a bold, poster-like aesthetic. Inspired by modern editorial print design, this widget moves away from standard 'icon + text' boxes, offering instead an immersive, image-first experience that captures user attention immediately. The widget features a responsive grid of vertical, portrait-oriented cards, each functioning as a seamless clickable link for intuitive navigation.
Visually, each card is anchored by a high-quality background image that spans the full height of the container. A sophisticated gradient overlay—customizable via the 'primary color' CSS variable—sweeps up from the bottom or corner, ensuring that the white typography remains legible while adding a splash of brand color. The typography is laid out with purpose: a small tag at the top for categorization, a massive, bold headline in the center to deliver the main message, and a structured footer area for additional details or call-to-action arrows. Hover effects include a subtle zoom of the background image and a slight lift of the text, providing tactile feedback without clutter. This widget is perfect for 'What We Do' sections, case study grids, or department navigation on corporate sites. It maintains its dramatic impact on mobile devices by stacking vertically, ensuring the text remains readable against the gradient backdrop.
Bring this layout to life on your website in just a few clicks.
Edit visually using the extension or native blocks
First, ensure you have pasted the global Redesignee connector script into your site's Code Injection settings. Once connected, you have two easy ways to build:
Native Block: Simply add the native Redesignee Widget Block directly from the fluid engine editor menu inside Squarespace.
Manual Markdown: Add a standard Markdown Block, paste your widget’s code snippet, and the Redesignee floating "Customize" button will automatically appear right over the block.
Both methods let you tweak settings, copy items, and design visually in real time. Saving your changes syncs the updates instantly to your live page.
