Story Split

About80: Story Split

A story split down the middle: heading, two paragraphs and a pill action on one side above a ruled row of figures that count up when they reach the viewport, a portrait photograph drifting inside its frame on the other.

This installs the block to components/beste/block/about80.tsx plus the button22 sliding-marker pill and the text1 word stagger it uses.

Quick start

The installed file exports about80Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working about section in one line.

import { About80, about80Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/about80";

export default function Page() {
  return <About80 {...about80Demo} />;
}

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

import { About80 } from "@/components/beste/block/about80";

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <About80
      eyebrow="About the practice"
      heading="Small on purpose, since 2019."
      paragraphs={[
        "We began as two rooms above a bakery and one conviction about what people already know.",
        "Seven years later there are three practitioners, one address and nobody in a hurry.",
      ]}
      button={{ label: "Meet the three of us", href: "/team", tone: "dark" }}
      image={{ src: "/rooms/table.jpg", alt: "A calm room with a long stone table and linen chairs" }}
      figures={[
        { value: 3, label: "Practitioners" },
        { value: 2019, label: "Founded" },
        { value: 140, suffix: "+", label: "People this year" },
      ]}
    />
  );
}

Props

type Figure = {
  value: number;
  suffix?: string;
  label: string;
};

type ActionButton = {
  label: string;
  href: string;
  tone?: "primary" | "light" | "dark" | "outline";
};

Behavior notes

• Each figure counts independently: the count starts when that figure enters the viewport, not when the section does, so a number is never already finished by the time it is read.
• Thousands grouping is switched on only above 2100, which is what keeps a founding year rendering as 2019 rather than 2,019 while a real count of 2,400 still gets its separator.
• Values are rounded on every frame and set in tabular-nums, so the figures do not jitter in width while they climb.
• The count is only ever run forward from zero once. useInView is set to once, so scrolling back up does not replay it.
• The row is a dl with the dd before its dt, which is deliberate: the figure is the value and the label describes it, and the pairing survives being read out of order by a screen reader.
• The two columns are vertically centred, so a short paragraph column stays optically level with a tall photograph instead of riding at its top edge.
• The grid is fixed at grid-cols-3, so three figures is the intended count; a fourth wraps to a new row rather than compressing the first three.
