Tabs Widget

The Tabs widget serves as a valuable tool for organizing and presenting content efficiently on websites. With Tabs, visitors can seamlessly navigate between different sections of related content by clicking on designated tabs, streamlining the browsing experience without the need for extensive scrolling.


Tabs offer an elegant solution for showcasing various types of content such as Services, Plans, or Team members, presenting information in neatly organized sections while conserving space and maintaining a clean layout.


While the product preference leans towards displaying content through copy blocks or unique rows for improved accessibility and SEO, there may be specific scenarios where the Tabs widget proves beneficial.

In this section, you’ll learn how to control the size of elements using different types of units in Editor 2.0. We’ll break down how viewport width (vw) and height (vh) respond to the browser window, how the auto unit allows containers to resize based on their content, and how min/max values help you keep your elements within practical size limits. Together, these tools give you greater control over how your site adapts across devices—without relying on fixed pixel values.

Flexbox is the foundation for how columns behave in Editor 2.0. It controls how elements stack, align, and space themselves inside containers, giving you full control over layout across different screen sizes. By adjusting properties like stacking direction, content alignment, and wrap, you can create clean, organized designs that adapt smoothly to any device. These features help prevent layout issues, make better use of space, and simplify how you manage rows and individual elements. Learning how to use Flexbox effectively leads to faster builds and more consistent, responsive websites.

Understanding layout elements and the Layers Panel is key to building clean, responsive websites. Layout elements help you control structure—how widgets are grouped, how content stacks, and how different parts of the page respond across breakpoints. The Layers Panel gives you a clear view of that structure, making it easier to manage complex sections, find hidden elements, and keep your layout organized. Together, these tools let you build with more precision, troubleshoot faster, and maintain consistency across the entire site.

Breakpoints are specific screen widths where your website layout shifts to fit different devices, like phones, tablets, and desktops. They’re a key part of responsive design, allowing you to adjust styles so your site looks and works well on any screen. In the editor, you can see how styles behave at each breakpoint, apply universal styles, and override them when needed. You can also preview your site at different screen sizes to make sure everything looks right.
