Adjust the uppercase kicker tags (Architecture, Delivery, Compliance) and headlines to match your product offerings. - The media placeholder. Upload a dashboard snapshot, schematic, or interface capture into the 16:10 image block in the primary pillar card. - Card count. If you need four features, the left card can easily be mirrored or converted into a 2x2 grid. The signature moment ## Asymmetric bento balance Unlike an even 3-column grid where all features carry identical weight, this layout establishes a primary focal feature through height and media balance. The left card provides generous vertical space for a 16:10 preview slot alongside detailed technical prose, while the right column stacks two concise capability plates. The entire composition uses hairline borders and plate surfaces to delineate cards clearly on any host theme. Theme handoff ## What comes from where ### From your theme - Typeface. - Palette. - Rules. - Spacing scale. ### Set by this pattern - Proportion. - Typography hierarchy. - Measure.

Design rationaleComposition, intent and nearest alternatives ### Overview An asymmetrical 3-card bento grid pairing one tall hero pillar card on the left with two stacked capability panels on the right, establishing an immediate hierarchy of primary and supporting capabilities. ### The signature moment: asymmetric bento balance Unlike an even 3-column grid where all features carry identical weight, this layout establishes a primary focal feature through height and media balance. The left card provides generous vertical space for a 16:10 preview slot alongside detailed technical prose, while the right column stacks two concise capability plates. The entire composition uses hairline borders and plate surfaces to delineate cards clearly on any host theme. Make it yoursVariations and the edits to make first ### What you change first - Card copy & categories. Adjust the uppercase kicker tags (Architecture, Delivery, Compliance) and headlines to match your product offerings. - The media placeholder. Upload a dashboard snapshot, schematic, or interface capture into the 16:10 image block in the primary pillar card. - Card count. If you need four features, the left card can easily be mirrored or converted into a 2x2 grid. Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast ### What it inherits from your theme - Typeface. The pattern states no font family. All headings and body copy take whatever typeface your theme declares. - Palette. Ground uses base falling back to white; headings and body text use contrast falling back to black. Cards use role-plate and role-plate-text chains, falling back cleanly to base/contrast pairs. - Rules. Card perimeters use role-rule falling back to contrast, rendering hairline borders in any theme. - Spacing scale. Padding and gutters use core spacing presets (spacing--40 to spacing--80). ### What it decides for itself - Proportion. A 52/48 column split that maintains balanced card heights when the right column holds two stacked panels. - Typography hierarchy. Headings use ladder rungs (xx-large for section title, x-large for primary feature card, large for secondary cards). - Measure. A constrained 42rem intro container prevents section headlines from stretching across wide desktop monitors.

The public image URLs keep the examples visible after pasting. Select an image or cover and choose Replace to use your own Media Library files.

Questions ## Feature bento asymmetric: common questions Does Feature bento asymmetric need a plugin? No. It is built only from core WordPress blocks (column, columns, group, heading, image and paragraph), so it pastes into the block editor with nothing to install. Will Feature bento asymmetric match my theme? Yes. It names no colour or font of its own: every colour, size and space is a preset from your theme, so it takes your theme’s palette and type when pasted. Can I use my own images? Yes. Sample images stay in the copied blocks. Replace them in WordPress; pasting does not upload them to your Media Library. Is Feature bento asymmetric free? It is included with a subscription, with every Core Pattern and variation. 62 Core Patterns are free to copy without one. Which WordPress version does it need? Requires a block theme on WordPress 7.0 to 7.1. Classic themes and page builders are outside our supported setup. Adaptive patterns use the block theme’s colour, spacing and typography presets; styled variations declare their own colours or type. 14KB of core-block markup, 6 blocks (column, columns, group, heading, image, paragraph), and nothing else: paste it into the block editor and it becomes editable blocks wearing your theme.

The signature is the margin: the image is a window cut in the page rather than a band across it, and the paper around it is what you notice. A small opaque plate in the picture's bottom-right corner carries the caption, so no type ever sits on the photograph. The still-image version includes an example photograph; select your own clip for the video version. States no colour and no font of its own. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/hero-aperture.html)How it works First visit to scale What happens at a first appointment, drawn to scale: a bar of the whole appointment split into three solid segments whose widths are each step's share of the minutes, a scale line under it, then the three steps at the same widths, stacking on a tablet and a phone, with a title and a line each, and a closing note with one button. States no colour and no font of its own. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/first-visit-to-scale.html)Compare Compact comparison rows A mobile-first responsive comparison layout using stacked capability cards: each row pairs a feature title and summary with a side-by-side comparison block, avoiding horizontal table scrolling on small screens. States no colour and no font of its own. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/compare-compact-rows.html) #### Before you paste Requires a block theme on WordPress 7.0 to 7.1.
