What changes can I make to Boxes layout?

The Boxes layout is one of the most flexible sections in LandingRabbit.

You can switch between different display styles, adjust how images appear, reposition the section header, turn box items into links, add hover effects, and fine-tune spacing, colours, and sizes using AI.

Here's what you can change.

Choose between boxes, text boxes, and icon boxes

When making changes, start by clicking the layout options icon in the page preview.

You'll see three layout types:

  • Boxes: includes images

  • Text boxes: no images, just text content

  • Icon boxes: lets you add icons from our icon gallery

Change how images are displayed

In the layout options, you'll find the image fit setting.

This controls how images appear inside their container:

  • Fill: the image stays within a fixed size container. On smaller screens like mobile, the image won't grow too large, but it may be cropped. Make sure important parts of your image won't get cut off.

  • Free ratio: the image displays at its exact dimensions without cropping. You'll need to make sure all images have consistent proportions, or the layout might look uneven.

Choose Fill if you want consistent sizing across all boxes. Choose Free ratio if you want full control over image dimensions and don't want any cropping.

Change the section header position

By default, the section header sits above the boxes.

But you can move it to the left instead.

When you do this, the boxes shift to the right and display in two columns. The header content on the left shows in full, including any CTA buttons or eyebrows you've added.

Turn box items into links

In the text editor, click the link icon next to the item, then add a URL under Item link. You can paste a link, search for one of your pages, or type # to link to a section on the same page.

Link the whole boxes item to another page

Visitors can then click anywhere on the item to open the link. Any buttons or text links inside the item keep their own links.

Add hover effects to box items

To make box items react when visitors hover over them, click Edit styles and turn on Items on hover.

You can then set:

  • Apply to: choose All items, or Linked items to apply the effect only to items that have a link. The panel shows how many items are linked (for example, "2 of 6 items linked").

  • Item hover effect: make the item Grow or Lift.

  • Also highlight on hover: highlight the eyebrow, title, text, or button when someone hovers.

  • Duration: set how fast the effect plays, in milliseconds (250 ms is a good default).

To change colours on hover, describe what you want in the Edit styles chat, for example "change the box background to light orange on hover".

Tip: hover effects work best on linked items. They show visitors that the box is clickable.

Edit styles with AI

Click the edit styles icon to make detailed changes using natural language.
