Blog Section Examples
Articles, guides, and product updates need a home that people can browse. A blog or resources section gives each piece a card, and readers should be able to judge it at a glance from the title, category, read time, and an image that adds information. Identical cards and titles cut off mid-phrase make that impossible. Card structure, grid density, and filtering vary widely across these blog section examples.
Common patterns in blog and resources sections
- Card grid
- Photography
- Minimal
- Serif type
- Dark mode
- Carousel
- Monochrome
How to design a blog and resources section
-
Lead each card with its title
Make the post title the most prominent element after the image, in a size and weight that holds up at a glance. Allow two or three lines before truncating. Set category, author, and read time smaller and muted so they support the title.
-
Lock thumbnails to one aspect ratio
Crop every image to the same ratio, such as 16:9 or 3:2, because mixed ratios break the grid and push titles out of line. Lazy-load images below the fold and serve properly sized versions so a long list of cards stays fast.
-
Feature one post, then list the rest
Give the newest or most important piece a larger card that spans more columns, then show the rest in an even grid. That creates a clear entry point. Use it sparingly, because when every card is featured, none of them stands out.
-
Filter by type and link the archive
Add category tabs or chips when content spans types like guides, news, and changelog entries. Make the whole card one link instead of separate links on the image and title, and finish with a visible "View all" link to the full archive.
