SW Modules

Frequently Asked Questions - SW Sprocket Rocket Modules

These FAQs explain how Smithworks SW Modules work inside HubSpot, especially for Sprocket Rocket-style themes. Use them to choose the right module, understand common settings, and give AI agents better context before they start guessing.

Can one SW Cards tile look different from the others?

One SW Cards tile can be styled differently from the others. Open the card you want to stand out and turn on Override card background and rich text.

Then choose that card’s background, text color, and link color behavior so the card stays readable. Other cards continue using the default Style settings for the module.

What is the default padding around a new SW Cards module?

For newly added SW Cards modules, the documented default spacing starts at 50px on top and 40px on the bottom in Style → Module Settings → Module Inner Spacing.

Existing modules keep whatever spacing was already saved. Updating the theme does not automatically overwrite saved spacing on older module instances.

When should I use SW Cards Products?

SW Cards Products is designed for structured cards with bullet feature lines. It is useful for pricing-style layouts, plan columns, product options, or simple feature cards where each card needs a tidy list.

The pricing fields and toggle are optional. If you only need bullet cards with no pricing, the module can still be a good fit.

When should I use SW Feature List instead of SW Cards Products?

SW Feature List is for comparison-table layouts. It works when the same feature names run down the side and plans, tiers, or options run across the top with cells showing checks, icons, short text, or small button stacks.

SW Cards Products is better when each plan or product should stand on its own as a separate card with its own bullet list. If the layout feels like a spreadsheet, use Feature List. If it feels like separate tiles, use Cards Products.

How does SW Feature List work on mobile?

When the comparison is wider than a small screen, visitors can swipe horizontally through the plan columns while the first column stays visible for context. Preview the module on a phone after changing table colors, especially the first column, so text remains readable as other columns move behind it. Also confirm that the swipe area is easy to use and that no important information is cut off. A quick mobile preview catches most problems before publishing.

Which SW hero module should I use for each type of page?

Use SW Blog Listing Hero for a page that lists blog posts and SW Blog Post Hero for an individual blog post. Use SW Hero for new website and landing page heroes. SW Simple Hero is deprecated, so keep it only on existing pages that already use it. The settings do not transfer directly between SW Simple Hero and SW Hero, so review the content, images, and layout before replacing the older module.

When should I use SW Testimonials instead of SW Cards?

SW Testimonials is built for social proof. It works well for client quotes, author photos, titles, company names, and optional read-more behavior for longer quotes.

Use SW Cards instead when the layout should be a card grid or slider with icons, images, videos, buttons, or multiple CTAs per card.

How do I show every testimonial fully expanded?

To show every testimonial fully expanded, open SW Testimonials and find the Read more labels group under Content. Turn Enable read more off.

When read more is disabled, each testimonial row shows the full rich-text quote instead of a shorter excerpt with a read-more link.

When should I use SW Text Headings?

SW Text Headings is for one or more standalone headings. It can be useful for section titles, divider-style headings between long modules, or headings over a flat background, photo, or video band.

If the same block needs body copy, bullets, or CTAs, use a content module such as SW Pillar Section or SW Simple Hero instead.

When should I use the SW Button module?

Use SW Button when you need a standalone row of one or more buttons that match the theme without adding a larger content module. It works well between sections or after content that already provides the heading and explanation. Use SW Pillar Section or SW Cards when the buttons need to appear with their own heading, body copy, or supporting content. The Style tab also lets you control the full-width background and the area immediately around the buttons when the row needs more visual separation.
