Accordion Columns Layout

What You'll Create

A two-column layout within accordion dropdowns where the first element appears on the left and remaining content on the right. Creates a structured, magazine-style FAQ or content layout.

The Problem It Solves

Squarespace accordion dropdowns display content in a single column by default. When you want to show category labels, icons, or key info on one side with detailed content on the other, you need CSS flexbox to create columns.

Perfect For

FAQ sections, Feature breakdowns, Category-organized content, Detailed service descriptions, Comparison layouts

What Makes This Different

This technique uses display:flex on the accordion description, allowing the first child element to become a sidebar column while remaining content flows on the right. Includes list styling adjustments for clean alignment.
