About this block

Studio TeamPRO

A studio team grid of member portraits with names and roles.

Agency14: Studio Team

Studio team grid that pairs a cropped portrait with a name and role for every member, closing with an optional hiring callout row. The intro paragraph is rendered as HTML, so it can carry inline emphasis or entities straight from the CMS.

Radix flavor

bash
npx shadcn add "https://ui.beste.co/r/agency14?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

Base UI flavor

bash
npx shadcn add "https://ui.beste.co/r-base/agency14?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

This installs the block to components/beste/block/agency14.tsx, the badge6 component it uses for the section eyebrow, the button1 component it uses for the hiring callout's CTA, and its dependencies.

Quick start

The installed file exports agency14Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working team section in one line.

tsx
import { Agency14, agency14Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/agency14";

export default function AboutPage() {
  return <Agency14 {...agency14Demo} />;
}

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

tsx
import { Agency14 } from "@/components/beste/block/agency14";

export default function AboutPage() {
  return (
    <Agency14
      label="The team"
      heading="The people behind the work"
      intro="We are a small, senior studio of designers and engineers."
      members={[
        {
          name: "Elena Marsh",
          role: "Founder & Creative Director",
          image: {
            src: "https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1573496359142-b8d87734a5a2?w=900&h=1125&fit=crop",
            alt: "Elena Marsh, Founder and Creative Director",
          },
        },
        {
          name: "Theo Vance",
          role: "Design Lead",
          image: {
            src: "https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1500648767791-00dcc994a43e?w=900&h=1125&fit=crop",
            alt: "Theo Vance, Design Lead",
          },
        },
      ]}
      hiring={{
        text: "We are always looking for sharp, kind people to build alongside.",
        cta: { label: "See open roles", href: "https://beste.co" },
      }}
    />
  );
}

};

type HiringCallout = {

  cta: { label: string; href: string };
};

Behavior notes

  • intro is injected with dangerouslySetInnerHTML, so the demo data uses an HTML entity (&mdash;) for its dash rather than a literal character; any inline markup you pass renders as HTML.
  • Portraits sit in a 4:5 aspect crop and scale up slightly on hover (group/agency14, scale-105, 500ms ease-out).
  • The grid is fixed at two columns on small screens and four columns from lg up; it does not recompute column count from members.length.
  • The hiring row only renders when hiring is passed. Its CTA is a Button1 with tone="primary", using the asChild pattern to wrap a plain Link.
