Dynamic Layout Modes

Selecting the right layout helps families understand differences between programs and speeds up decision-making.

Grid Mode

Clean, card-based layout for side-by-side comparison. Perfect for displaying 3-4 tuition tiers or program options.

  • Column gap: 0–100 px
  • Columns per row: up to 5
  • Best for simple program comparisons

Carousel Mode

Slide-based presentation with optional auto-advance. Great for featuring plans one at a time or conserving vertical space.

  • Columns per slide: 1–5
  • Auto-advance interval with pause on hover
  • Infinite loop option
  • Fade or Slide animation

Classic Table Mode

Traditional table layout for wide, detailed comparisons. Ideal for long feature lists that need more horizontal space.

  • Horizontal scroll with arrow controls
  • Best for comprehensive program details

Comparison Table Mode

Deep, column-heavy comparisons where context matters. Perfect for comparing multiple programs with extensive feature lists.

  • Sticky head column remains visible while scrolling
  • Horizontal scroll with arrow controls
  • Best for detailed program comparisons

Pro Tip: Use Grid for simple tiers (3-4 plans), Carousel to feature plans one group at a time, and Classic/Comparison for long feature lists that need horizontal space.

  • Add, reorder, or remove features for each plan
  • Group related items (e.g., "Meals Included," "Extended Hours," "Field Trips")
  • Keep phrasing consistent across plans for easy comparison
  • For long lists, use Classic or Comparison layouts to leverage horizontal navigation

Smart Pricing Features

Visual pricing cues guide attention and make offers feel time-sensitive or valuable without adding confusion.

Previous Price Display

Show strikethrough pricing to highlight discounts or promotional rates. Perfect for early bird specials or limited-time offers.

Discount Text Badges

Add eye-catching badges to emphasize promotions like "Save 20%" or "First Month Free."

Optional Pricing Captions

Include billing notes, tax information, or disclaimers below the price (e.g., "Includes meals and supplies" or "Billed monthly").

Buttons & Actions

The call-to-action is where comparisons turn into enrollments. Configure actions that match your enrollment strategy.

Action Types

  • Open URL: Link to external pages or internal enrollment forms
  • Open Popup: Launch a specific popup (great for quick inquiry forms)
  • Step/Anchor Navigation: Jump to a section on the same page
  • No action: Useful for teaser plans or coming-soon programs

Button Content

  • Custom text: Use clear, action-oriented labels like "Enroll Now," "Schedule Tour," or "Join Waitlist"
  • Optional caption: Add supporting text below the button (e.g., "No registration fee")
  • Show/Hide controls: Toggle button and caption visibility as needed

Pro Tip: Use action-oriented button text that matches where families are in their decision journey. "Schedule Tour" works great for undecided families, while "Enroll Now" is perfect for ready-to-commit parents.

Appearance & Styling

Styling ensures the Pricing Table blends with your brand while remaining readable and accessible.

  • Adjust colors, typography, spacing, borders, and column gaps (0–100 px)
  • Maintain adequate contrast for text, badges, and buttons
  • Keep card padding consistent to prevent visual jumpiness between plans
  • Match your center's brand colors and fonts for consistency

Mobile & Responsiveness

Optimizing for small screens preserves readability and ensures families can still compare plans and take action without friction.

  • Multi-column layouts may collapse to fewer columns on mobile for legibility
  • Classic/Comparison layouts retain horizontal scroll with arrows when content exceeds screen width
  • Sticky head column remains visible in Comparison mode to keep plan names in context
  • Preview both Desktop and Mobile views and adjust spacing/typography as needed

Pro Tip: Most families browse on mobile devices. Always preview and test your pricing tables on a phone before publishing to ensure buttons are easy to tap and text is readable.
