Widgets: Tabs

Widget Categories: Basic

The Tabs widget is an excellent way of displaying content efficiently on your site. Visitors can click between tabs (rather than scroll through text) to view related content. Tabs are a great way of showing content such as Services, Plans or Team members in compact, connected sections.

Each tab can contain a label, title, description, image and button, and each of these elements can be fully customized.

For information on adding widgets, see Add Widgets.
