Answers beside an invitation

A membership FAQ that ends in an invitation: a tracked label, a two-line display title and a short lead run down the left, then five always-open rows, each with the question on the left and its answer opposite, sit in a wide column beside a rounded panel inverted to your contrast that asks the reader to come and visit, with a heading, a line of copy, a button and a small promise.

The panel drops below the questions on a phone and the question and answer stack. States no colour and no font of its own.

The signature moment

The invitation stands beside the answers

The questions are not the end of the page. While the reader works down the rows, the panel sits level with the first of them, heavy and inverted, so the section reads as a conversation that finishes with "come and see".

Overview

A membership FAQ that ends in an invitation: a tracked label, a two-line display title and a short lead, then five always-open question rows in a wide column beside a rounded panel, inverted to your contrast, that asks the reader to come and visit.

Make it yoursVariations and the edits to make first

The variations

  • Answers beside an invitation (base): your base and contrast.
  • Common ground: states its own colours, plum on blush with a plum panel and soft plum hairlines. Like the Designed original, the body uses Arial and the headings use semibold Arial.
Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast

Contrast

Text is contrast on base (4.5:1 in any theme honouring the pair), the panel the inverse. Common ground is #42253e on #f8edf0 and #fff1ee on #42253e, both above 10:1.

Technical notesBlock mechanics, responsive behaviour and constraints

Mechanics worth knowing

  • Each row is a two-column grid with a 14rem minimum: question left, answer right on a desktop, stacked in the narrower column at tablet width and on a phone. Rows are ruled top and bottom in currentColor.
  • The body is core/columns at 60/40, so below 782px the panel drops beneath the questions.
  • The panel inverts to your contrast; its button inverts back to your base. The button's corner is your theme's.

Questions

Will Answers beside an invitation match my theme?

Lead question, rest on a rail

One question answered in full with the other eight on a rail beside it: a tracked eyebrow, a question set at up to 56px and an answer that is always open hold a 55% column, and eight small disclosure rows run down a single ruled 45% column on the right, starting on a rule so the rail reads as a table from its first line.
