Accordion FAQ — Foundational Variant
Vertically-stacked accordion rows that expand smoothly to reveal long-form answers — the baseline interactive pattern that fits any FAQ, glossary, or scannable reference list.
Best for: FAQs, glossaries, reference lessons, or any block of content that benefits from being collapsed by default and expanded on demand.

What it does
- Click-to-expand rows — each row's title bar opens to reveal a long-form answer underneath, with a smooth height-grow animation
- One open at a time (default) — opening a new row gracefully closes the previously open one, keeping the page tidy
- Expand-collapse indicator — a chevron or plus/minus icon rotates as the row opens and closes, signaling state at a glance
- Smooth open/close animation — rows ease open and shut rather than snapping, so the interaction feels considered rather than abrupt
- Scannable list, deep on demand — visitors get a clean overview when collapsed, full answers when they tap
Best use cases
- Course landing pages — pricing FAQ, enrollment FAQ, refund policy
- Lesson reference content — definition glossaries, formula reference, term banks
- Coaching and consulting — frequently asked questions before booking
- Membership communities — rules, expectations, getting-started questions
- SaaS and product docs — feature reference and quick-answer help center
What you can change with your DNA
When you run this through the remix skill, your CCOS DNA — brand, voice, audience — drives these decisions automatically:
- Colors — slots for page background, row background, divider lines, title text, body text, and the indicator icon
- Fonts — two roles: a heading font for the row titles, and a body font for the expanded answers. Pick a pairing that matches your brand.
- Copy — each row has a short title (the question or concept name) and a long-form answer underneath. Add or remove rows as needed.
- Images — none by default; rows are typography-driven. Optional: small icons or images can sit inside the expanded answer area.
- Behavior — choose whether one row opens at a time or multiple can stay open simultaneously, and tune the open/close animation speed
