Stacked Side Summary Tabs

Code Toolkit
Written By Squarestylist Support

What You'll Create

A side-by-side tabs layout where navigation labels appear in a vertical list on one side and content displays on the other. Clicking a label reveals the corresponding panel with smooth transitions.

The Problem It Solves

Squarespace's Summary Block displays content in lists or grids, but not as tabbed interfaces. This technique transforms your Summary Block into professional side tabs that work great for portfolios, services, or any content that benefits from organized navigation.

Perfect For

Portfolio presentations, Service descriptions, Team bios, Product features, Case studies

What Makes This Different

This technique uses a slider library to handle the tab switching smoothly. Navigation labels are extracted from your blog titles and displayed vertically. When you click a tab, the corresponding image and content slides into view. Includes optional styling for bullet point indicators, font sizing, and active state highlighting.
