Welcome to the Info Cards docs. This guide shows you how to present features, services, benefits, and team details as tidy, customizable cards.
Getting Started covers installation, onboarding, and license activation. How To Use walks through every panel in the sidebar, from themes and layout to buttons, and ends with shortcode usage. Quick answers live in the FAQs.
Info Cards groups related information into a grid of cards, each with an image, title, description, and button, all built in the block editor.
You add cards one by one, choose one of the built-in themes, and set how many columns appear on desktop, tablet, and mobile. Each card can link to another page, and everything from the card background to the button hover color can be styled to fit your site.
Use it for feature highlights, service overviews, benefit lists, or team introductions. Info Cards Pro adds seven more themes and 8+ extra card blocks, such as News Cards and Player Cards.
