Interactive Pillar Tabs & Image

About26: Interactive Pillar Tabs & Image

Centered header above an interactive two-column layout: a vertical list of pillar tabs on the left, and a single image on the right that crossfades between each pillar's photo as the visitor hovers or clicks a tab. Built for studios and agencies that want to walk through a handful of core principles.

Installation

Swap YOUR_EMAIL and YOUR_KEY for the email and license key on your account. Find your license key on your account page.

Radix flavor

npx shadcn add "https://ui.beste.co/r/about26?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

Base UI flavor

npx shadcn add "https://ui.beste.co/r-base/about26?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

This installs the block to components/beste/block/about26.tsx and the badge and button shadcn/ui primitives it depends on.

Quick start

The installed file exports about26Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working about section in one line.

import { About26, about26Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/about26";

export default function AboutPage() {
  return <About26 {...about26Demo} />;
}

Then replace the demo with your own props. Written out, a trimmed setup looks like this:

import { About26 } from "@/components/beste/block/about26";

export default function AboutPage() {
  return (
    <About26
      badge={{ label: "Our Approach", variant: "secondary" }}
      heading="Three pillars that define everything we do"
      description="We believe great architecture starts with people, place, and purpose."
      pillars={[
        {
          title: "People",
          description: "Every space begins with the people who will inhabit it.",
          image: {
            src: "https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1517048676732-d65bc937f952?w=800&h=600&fit=crop",
            alt: "Team collaborating in a modern office",
          },
        },
        {
          title: "Place",
          description: "Context is everything: light, land, climate, and culture.",
          image: {
            src: "https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1486406146926-c627a92ad1ab?w=800&h=600&fit=crop",
            alt: "Modern architectural building exterior",
          },
        },
      ]}
      buttons={[{ label: "View Our Work", href: "https://beste.co" }]}
    />
  );
}

Props

type PillarItem = {
  title: string;
  description: string;
  image: { src: string; alt: string };
};

type ButtonItem = {
  label: string;
  href?: string;
  variant?: "default" | "secondary" | "outline" | "ghost" | "link" | "destructive";
};

Behavior notes

• The active pillar is tracked with a single active index (useState(0), first pillar active by default). Both onMouseEnter and onClick on a pillar button set the active index, so hovering with a mouse and tapping on touch devices both work.
• The image column stacks one absolute inset-0 image per pillar and crossfades between them with opacity transitions (duration-500); only the active pillar's image has opacity-100, the rest sit at opacity-0 underneath it.
• The active tab gets a bg-primary/10 background and its heading switches from text-muted-foreground to text-foreground; an arrow icon slides in from -translate-x-2 opacity-0 to translate-x-0 opacity-100 only on the active row.
• The layout is lg:grid-cols-[1fr_1.5fr], so the image column is one and a half times as wide as the tab list on large screens; below lg the grid falls back to a single stacked column (tabs, then image).
• The demo's third pillar description contains a literal em dash ("A building without purpose is just a structure. We design spaces that serve clear functions — and inspire at the same time.") reproduced here exactly as it appears in the source.
