FAQ Reveal Side-by-Side

Code Toolkit
Written By Squarestylist Support

What You'll Create

An interactive FAQ section where questions appear on the left and answers reveal on the right when clicked. The active question gets highlighted while its corresponding answer smoothly appears, creating a clean two-column Q&A experience.

The Problem It Solves

Squarespace's Accordion block stacks questions and answers vertically, which can feel cramped and make it hard to scan multiple questions. This side-by-side layout gives answers more room to breathe and creates a more engaging, magazine-style FAQ presentation.

Perfect For

Service FAQ pages, Product question sections, About page Q&As, Support documentation, Interview-style content.

What Makes This Different

The layout uses Squarespace's Summary Block to pull questions and answers from a blog collection, making it easy to add, edit, and reorder FAQ items through the normal Squarespace interface. Clicking a question reveals its answer on the right side while dimming other questions, creating clear visual hierarchy. The first question opens automatically so visitors don't land on a blank answer area.
