NEWSON · ELEMENT NO. 54

Keep readers moving to their next article. Ten layouts from simple pills to image tiles, a split banner, an “Up next” card, a series strip and tabs that slide out from the screen edges, with category, date, reading time, excerpt, ← → keyboard shortcuts and instant loading on hover.

Real posts from this demo site. On a real post the widget finds the previous and next posts on its own.

END OF A BLOG POST · CARDS

Two cards with the featured image, category, date and reading time, and an “all posts” button in the middle that spins on hover. When there is no older or newer post it shows a friendly message instead.

ONLINE MAGAZINE · SPLIT BANNER

A full-width banner split in two: each half shows the post image under a color wash that lifts on hover. Perfect at the bottom of long features.

LONG-FORM ESSAYS · MAGAZINE

Serif titles, a heavy top rule and a gradient underline that draws itself on hover, like the end of a printed feature.

NEWS SITE · SCREEN-EDGE TABS

Two small tabs sit on the left and right edges of the screen and slide open on hover to show the post. Pinned to the screen on a real post; kept inside the gray box here so you can try them.
