What Are Card Blocks?
Overview
Cards are individual content blocks that appear on your app’s Home Screen. Each Card highlights a single piece of content and can include text, images, and links. Think of them as digital signposts that help guide your users to specific actions or information.
Cards are flexible and easy to manage — perfect for promotions, announcements, links, and general content you want to highlight.

💡Best Practices
- Use Cover Image Size for best visual results unless doing Image Only; then use full or cover based on desired look
- Limit description text to 2-3 lines for readability or use Max Description to truncate for you
- Make Card titles informative or clear (e.g., "Our Dinner Menu," "Course Conditions")
- Use high-quality images for a strong presentation (take advantage of the image picker)
- Group Cards into Lists if you need to organize multiple pieces of content under a Title.
