Also known as: 40/60 layout, 66/33 layout, 45/65, 50/50, text next to card
Description
A layout pattern that separates the section in two parts, with one being 60% of the width and the other 40% of the width. (%s may vary slightly.)
Design
Desktop
Mobile (stacked*)
*6/5/26 future enhancement suggestion: add code to card component where the margin above it is optional (the spacing looks a bit big currently)
Use When
You have something you want to call out but it won't take up a full row on its own, like a single card, a bulleted list, or a single social embed. Or you want to put text next to a photo.
Editorial Guidelines
Follow our general Web Copy General Guidelines in addition to the following:
- Generally the copy needed for the 60% side will be an h2 and short piece of lead text, as seen in the screenshots. Follow the general guidelines for those.
- If using a card in the 40% side, keep copy short. Can contain content like a bulleted list with 3 bullets or a ranking.
Implementation
- Add WP Group block. Option to add a background color. If using a background color, add class "py-5" to the Additional CSS Classes field so there is top and bottom spacing within the background color.
- Within Group block, add WP Columns block. In the right menu, set columns to two and make sure "stacked on mobile" is turned on.
- Set the % width of the individual columns. There is wiggle room based on how it looks, but use something around 60%/40% or 55%/45%.
- For the column on the left, add class "pe-lg-5" to the Additional CSS Classes field so there is spacing between the columns on large screens.
- Add the blocks you want to use within each column. Often a WP Heading and WP paragraph on the 60% side and then either a photo or a card on the 40% side.
