Card

When a page contains a lot of content, it may take more time for users to sift through it. Inability to quickly locate the content that they need, may discourage some users and abandon the page.

Cards combine visual and textual elements to introduce, sort and group topics that are related to page content. They can also provide very clear navigation support for users by highlighting key connections to other pages. Because they are responsive, they offer a consistent experience on both mobile and desktop screens.
