The Card component divides content into blocks, making it easier for users to scan. Each card focuses on a single topic.
When to use
- When you have similar content (e.g., blog posts, products, news).
- To segment content and make it easier to scan.
When not to use
- Do not use cards when users need to compare multiple options.
- Cards are less scannable than a list. If users are likely to know what they are searching for, use a list format to display content more efficiently.
