Folder Tabs for Summary Block

What You'll Create

Transform your Squarespace summary block into a folder-style tabbed interface. On desktop, vertical tabs appear on the side with a distinctive folder shape. On mobile, tabs switch to horizontal orientation. Clicking a tab smoothly transitions to show that item's content using carousel mechanics.

The Problem It Solves

Squarespace doesn't have native tabbed content. Creating tabs typically requires complex code injection or third-party tools. This technique repurposes the familiar summary block—which you can populate through collections—into a fully functional tabbed interface without building everything from scratch.

Perfect For

Service package or tier displays, pricing comparison sections, product category browsers, FAQ or help sections, portfolio category filtering

What Makes This Different

Integrates a carousel library with summary blocks for smooth content switching. Vertical text orientation creates the distinctive tab look, with special styling elements forming the folder tab shape. The collection URL slug containing "tabs" triggers the functionality. Includes extensive responsive layouts with customizable tab and content colors for desktop and mobile.
