Carousel Arrows Bottom with Side-by-Side Layout

What You'll Create

A carousel summary block in Squarespace with navigation arrows repositioned to the bottom of the container, plus a side-by-side layout where the thumbnail sits on one side and content on the other. This creates a more editorial, magazine-style presentation.

The Problem It Solves

Default carousel arrows sit awkwardly at the sides of slides. And content stacks vertically by default, which doesn't take advantage of horizontal screen space. This technique repositions the pager to the bottom and transforms the layout into a sophisticated side-by-side arrangement.

What Makes This Different

The CSS moves the carousel pager below the content and anchors it 3% from the bottom edge. For the side-by-side layout, the thumbnail gets positioned at 30% width on the right while the text content takes 60% on the left. The content area reorganizes vertically to maintain a clean reading flow from title to excerpt to metadata.
