Flip Card on Hover

Code Toolkit
Written By Squarestylist Support

What You'll Create

Create flip cards for your Squarespace site that rotate 180 degrees on hover to reveal a second side with different content. Uses a gallery slideshow block with two images to create front and back card faces with smooth 3D rotation.

The Problem It Solves

Showing two related pieces of content (like a team photo and bio, or product front and back) typically requires separate elements or clicks. Flip cards combine both views in one interactive element that invites exploration.

Perfect For

Team member cards, Product showcases, Before/after reveals, Service explanations, FAQ-style content, Interactive portfolios.

What Makes This Different

Visual 3D transformations with depth preservation and backface visibility create true card-flip physics. A gallery slideshow block holds two images—the first is the front face, the second (rotated 180 degrees) is the back. Hover triggers the flip animation. The technique is simpler than code-heavy alternatives.
