Flip Card details:

SCORE is Perficient accelerator with prebuilt features. Flip Cards offer an enjoyable method for users to engage with your website, presenting a delightful flip animation that adds an element of excitement. Moreover, they serve as a compact hub where you can conveniently provide supplementary information, all within a single concise location. Flip Cards have 2 sides- Front of the card and back of the card.

Flip Card requirements:

On the front of the card, we would like these fields available:

• Title
• Description
• Solid colour
• Background Image
• CTA (Call to Action) flip it front to back.
• Flip Move directions – Right, left, up and down.

On the back of the card, we would like these fields available:

• Solid colour
• Text
• Another CTA (Call to Action) that will go to another page.
• Background Image

Note: Clicking anywhere except the CTA on the back of the card will flip it back to the front.

For the images and colours, there should be options to have one of these on the front of the card and back of the card:

1. Background image filling the entire card – First Preference
2. Solid colour filling the entire card –Second Preference
