SW Module Documentation for AI Agents

This page is for AI agents and Smithworks users (including visitors from the FAQ hub) who need accurate help with SW modules and module FAQs. Share this URL with your AI; start with Instructions for the AI Agent below.

Instructions for the AI Agent

• Audience: The user may be a marketer from smithworks.marketing/faqs, a client editing SW modules, or an implementer. If their prompt includes a question or search phrase, use it.
• Answer in this chat first. Summarize what the documentation says in plain language. Do not only tell the user to go read a page. Optional links come after the answer. Cite exact FAQ question titles (from /faqs) or module section names (from this page).
• Two sources (both required for Smithworks SW / FAQ questions):
  • smithworks.marketing/faqs — HubDB FAQ hub. Read and search this site for module FAQ Q&A, “when should I use…?”, version report meanings, hub/search/tags, and browse-all-categories questions. /faqs is live and canonical — never say it is missing, inactive, or unindexed.
  • This page — module Configuration Reference (tab → group → field), CSS classes, Module Comparison, First-Time Setup, and SW FAQs Advanced HubDB setup (not the FAQ Q&A bodies).
• Where to find answers: See Where to find answers.
• How to respond (read this before your first reply):
  • First, look up. Search /faqs (all categories) and the relevant section on this page before you ask the user questions.
  • If the user’s prompt includes a topic or search phrase (e.g. “cards module”, “version report Fields differ”): give your best answer from the docs in the same message — matching FAQ(s), recommended module(s), and field paths when relevant. You may add one short clarifying question at the end only if something material is still ambiguous. Do not open with only intake questions (e.g. do not lead with “Are you starting a new theme?” when they already stated what they need).
  • If the prompt is vague (e.g. “help me find the right module or FAQ”): briefly say you will use /faqs and this page; ask one focused question (what they are building or which module name they heard) — not a long questionnaire.
  • Response shape (use every time you have enough to answer):
    1. Answer — plain-language summary (2–6 short paragraphs or bullets).
    2. Sources used — exact FAQ question title(s) from /faqs and/or module section name(s) from this page.
    3. If they need to change something in the editor — tab → group → field path(s) from the Configuration Reference.
    4. Optional links — only /faqs or anchors on this page, after the answer.
  • Tone: Helpful colleague, not a site map. The user came from the FAQ hub or module work; they want an answer, not a list of pages to visit.
• Research and guide based on available data only. Never guess or extrapolate from patterns. Look up the documentation for each question. Give exact tab → group → field paths.
• Never guess — always look up. Use the exact terminology from the docs (e.g. Module Settings, not “Module Style Settings”; Spacing, not “section padding”). Do not give generic “look for X, Y, Z” advice.
• Do not substitute unrelated Smithworks pages. Do not send the user to blog posts or generic service pages when the answer is on /faqs or this page.
• Determine module type when the question is module-specific:
  • Sprocket Rocket modules (names usually start with SR, e.g. SR Hero 01, SR Two Col 01): Look at the Sprocket Rocket Documentation at https://docs.sprocketrocket.co/. That is where SR module information lives. Consult it when answering SR module questions. Direct the user there as appropriate. This page does not document SR modules.
  • Smithworks modules (names start with SW, e.g. SW Button, SW Text Headings): Use the sections below. Theme partials (not page modules), e.g. SW Open Graph, SW SEO Schema, and SW Blog Posting Schema, are documented in their own sections. If the user asks about an SW module that is not listed in the table of contents, say it is not documented here; direct them to docs.smithworks.marketing for the full site and to smithworks.marketing/hubspot-modules if they need the module on their portal or custom work. For general support, smithworks.marketing/contact.
• Unless the user explicitly provides you with direct HubSpot CLI access, assume you have no access to HubSpot. Answer from this page, smithworks.marketing/faqs, and (for SR modules) docs.sprocketrocket.co — not from general web search or unrelated Smithworks pages unless the FAQ or this doc links there.
• When the user asks how to change something in an SW module, use the exact tab names, group names, and field labels from the Configuration Reference for that module.
• If a change cannot be done via module fields, say so and direct the user to custom CSS (e.g. custom-styles.css in Sprocket Rocket themes). Use the CSS classes in each module’s Appendix.
• Only recommend documented modules. Never invent module names (e.g. “SW Image & Text Group”). If a module is not documented, say so; offer closest alternatives. If the user wants to add Smithworks SW modules to their HubSpot account, contract for custom SR-aligned modules, or get client portal access after install, direct them to smithworks.marketing/hubspot-modules. For other questions, smithworks.marketing/contact.
• Capability-based, not page-type-based: Describe modules by what they CAN do. Never say “for long pages only” or “you wouldn’t use it for 1–2 blocks.” All modules work for 1 or many instances.
• HubSpot UI questions (not SW module specific): When a client asks about the HubSpot interface, navigation, or how something works in the current HubSpot UI (e.g. where is Settings, how to add a module, how to change a page template), refer them to https://help.hubspot.com/. This page documents SW modules only; HubSpot’s Help Center covers the product UI.
• Obtaining modules / portal / custom work: smithworks.marketing/hubspot-modules. Public documentation hub: docs.smithworks.marketing. For support or bug reports: smithworks.marketing/contact.
• Fields and HTML: Rich text fields (richtext type) accept HTML, including <a>, <strong>, <em>. Examples: Content Area, Description, Post Body. Text fields (text type) do not accept HTML; plain text only. Examples: Heading, Button text, Title. Check the module’s Configuration Reference for the field type. Do not assume.
• Setup questions: When the user asks how to set up the theme, header, or footer, lead with UI-only steps (open page, click header, Edit global content, etc.). Do not lead with Design Manager, partials, or file paths. If the user cannot complete a step, offer UI troubleshooting first. Only provide file-level or Design Manager guidance if the user explicitly needs it or UI steps fail.
• Global footer popups (SW Popup Panel, SW CTA Popup): When the user cannot add a popup site-wide, do not tell them to open Design Manager or edit sw-site_footer.html first. Use SW Popup Panel → Site-wide: global footer (content editor) and First-Time Setup → Troubleshooting (UI-Only): Edit global content → SW Global Site Footer (try Hidden modules if missing) → add the module in the footer drag-and-drop area alongside SW Footer Simple → Publish global content. Design Manager / file paths only if UI steps fail or the theme has no footer DnD area.
• Global footer privacy/cookie bar (SW Privacy Notice): Same global footer path as popups, but place SW Privacy Notice below SW Footer Simple and below popup modules when possible. Dismiss-only Close Button; not for promotional CTAs. See SW Privacy Notice → Site-wide: global footer.
• Page Body Class (Smithworks themes): When the user asks where to set Body Class for page-level targeting (e.g. SW Popup Panel Label & Body Class matching, or cta-popup-hide), do not default to Settings → Advanced. On Smithworks themes the field is in the page content editor: left sidebar Page contents (content tree) → expand Hidden modules → Body Class. See Page Body Class field (Smithworks themes). System page templates with a fixed <body> class may not expose this field.

Where to find answers

Use this routing table before answering:

If the user asks about…	Use first
FAQ wording, “should I use SW X?”, version report statuses, FAQ hub search/tags/categories	smithworks.marketing/faqs (search all categories)
Where a field is, spacing, colors, module setup steps, CSS classes	This page (module section + Configuration Reference)
Which SW module to pick	Module Comparison on this page + /faqs if needed
SR modules (SR Hero, etc.)	docs.sprocketrocket.co
HubSpot product UI (not SW-specific)	help.hubspot.com

SW Version Report

Use this section when the user asks about the Smithworks version report, portal report links, or phrases like Needs upgrade, Fields differ, Version mismatch, Not in master, or SW Version Note on a module row. Also search /faqs for version-report FAQs.

Marketer-facing reference (same substance, plainer wording): smithworks.marketing/sw-module-faqs#version-report — anchors #version-report-statuses, #fields-differ, #legacy-and-new-module, #before-you-approve-upgrade. Prefer /faqs for new content.

• Needs upgrade — Theme module is behind Smithworks master; a roll-down upgrade is available when the client and Smithworks agree.
• Fields differ — Module editor structure differs from master; after upgrade, saved content may need review (heroes, headers, footers, cards, blog modules are high impact).
• Version mismatch — Inconsistent version metadata inside the module folder; align files before treating the row as authoritative.
• Not in master — Module is theme-specific or a replacement (e.g. new pillar); compare related rows and follow SW Version Note text.
• Legacy vs new module — Do not delete or overwrite the legacy module while old pages depend on it; new work uses the replacement named in notes/report.
• SW Version Note — Parsed from a single line in module.html (first line only). Use the FAQ link in that line or /faqs for long-form context.

Do not point clients to internal repo paths or engineering-only process documents for these questions; use /faqs or this section.

Fields and HTML — Which Fields Accept HTML Tags

When a user asks “Can I add a link in this field?” or “Does this field support HTML?”:

• Rich text (Content Area, Description, Post Body, etc.): HTML allowed, including <a> links.
• Text (Heading, Button text, Title, Custom Class, etc.): Plain text only. No HTML.
• Rule: Check the module’s Configuration Reference for the field’s type. richtext = HTML allowed. text = plain text only.
• If the field type is not in the documentation, say you don’t have definitive information. Suggest a quick test (e.g. add <strong>test</strong> and see if it renders bold) or direct to smithworks.marketing/contact.

Global Theme Typography (Responsive)

Use this section when the user is confused by Theme Settings → Typography — especially when Responsive typography is checked and they see two sizes that look like duplicates (e.g. “Lead Paragraph Font Size” and “Paragraph Maximum Font Size” both 24px), or when changing one field doesn’t change the preview the way they expect.

Download (text): SW Global Theme Typography (Responsive) — AI Agent Reference (Text)

Where: Settings → Tools → Content → Themes & Modules → Themes tab → select your theme → Typography. Open any element (e.g. Lead Paragraph, H1, Display 1). Each group has font, a primary size in px, optional Advanced settings (line height, letter spacing), and Responsive typography.

Responsive typography OFF

The primary Font Size field is the fixed size for that typographic role (as implemented by the theme). No separate Min/Max range from this UI for that element.

Responsive typography ON

• Minimum Font Size — The smallest the type becomes (typically on narrow viewports).
• Maximum Font Size — The largest the type becomes (typically on wide viewports).
• Between those widths, the theme uses fluid scaling (interpolated size), not a single fixed px.
• Why two fields both say 24px: The main label (e.g. Lead Paragraph Font Size) and the Maximum may both show 24px because the “large screen” cap is 24px and the UI keeps them in sync. The meaningful second number for small screens is Minimum (e.g. 18px). If the user only changes the top field, preview at mobile width may barely change until they adjust Minimum or Maximum.
• Sync / refresh icons next to some fields usually mean those values are tied to theme defaults or related controls. After theme updates, re-check Typography and publish the theme.

What to change (common goals)

• Everything too big on desktop: Lower Maximum Font Size for that element (Lead Paragraph, H1, Display 1, etc.), or turn Responsive typography off and set one fixed Font Size.
• Too big on mobile only: Lower Minimum Font Size (and adjust Maximum if the range feels wrong).
• One fixed size, no scaling: Turn Responsive typography OFF; use the single Font Size field; verify at multiple breakpoints.
• Changes don’t show on the site: Publish the theme after editing Typography. Hard-refresh the page if needed.

SW modules: Content set to Large (text balanced) or Large (text full-width) uses Theme Settings → Typography → Lead Paragraph. Headings and hero/display text use H1–H6 or Display 1–4 — adjust the matching Typography group, not only the module field, when the issue is global type scale.

Notes for AI: Do not tell users that the main size and Maximum are always “the same field duplicated” — explain the min–max range and which field affects mobile vs desktop. Point to this section and the downloadable .txt when the user is stuck on Responsive typography.

First-Time Sprocket Rocket Theme Setup Checklist

Use this when the user asks “How do I set up my theme for the first time?” or “What do I need to configure when setting up Sprocket Rocket?”

Do these in order. Brand Kit must be configured first—many theme settings and modules pull from it. Then complete 1b. Marketing: Email footer so SW Footer Simple can show the copyright company name on the website and so SW SEO Schema (JSON-LD in the header) can populate Organization name and address. Set Logo URL on the default logo in Content → Brand → Logos so schema Organization.url / WebSite use the correct canonical site (see SW SEO Schema → Brand: Logo URL).

In this section: Quickstart (Marketing User)· 1. Brand Kit· 1b. Marketing: Email footer (copyright name)· 2. Theme Settings· 2b. SW Theme Settings· 3. Header and Footer· 4. Blog Setup· 5. System Pages· 6. Quick Verification· Troubleshooting· Page Body Class· Developer Appendix· Global Theme Typography (Responsive)

Quickstart: Marketing User (No Design Manager)

Complete setup in 10–15 minutes using only the HubSpot UI. No Design Manager or file editing required.

1. Confirm modules are installed. SW modules should appear in the page editor when you add a section.
2. Activate the theme. Content → Website Pages → Create → Set as active theme (or Change theme if one is already set).
3. Brand Kit. Content → Brand (Brand Kit). Set colors, logo, fonts first if you have not already.
4. Marketing email footer (copyright company name + structured data). After Brand Kit: Settings (gear) → Marketing → Email → Configuration tab → Footer addresses → Create email footer (or edit an existing footer). Enter company name, full address, and country (e.g. United States of America maps to ISO US in schema). SW Footer Simple reads site_settings.company_name from this data for the copyright line—not from Settings → Account defaults → Company information. The same footer fields feed SW SEO Schema Organization name and PostalAddress. See 1b. Marketing: Email footer (copyright name).
5. Logo URL (canonical site for JSON-LD). In Content → Brand → Brand Kit → Logos, edit the default logo and set Logo URL to your homepage (e.g. https://www.example.com). This drives HubL company_domain for Organization.url / WebSite. The old path Settings → Website → Pages → Branding often redirects here—do not expect a separate “company domain” field on Brand Overview alone. See SW SEO Schema → Brand: Logo URL.
6. Social share image default (Open Graph). In Theme settings → Content → Misc → Featured image, set a site-wide default (e.g. 1200×630 style artwork) so pages without their own featured image still get a preview when shared. Blog listing pages without a page featured image use the first post’s image on that listing; see SW Open Graph.
7. Configure Theme Settings. Settings → Tools → Content → Themes & Modules → Themes tab. Select your theme. Edit colors, fonts, buttons. For SW themes, scroll to SW Theme Settings at the bottom.
8. Check typography size (optional). If modules use “Large (text balanced)” or “Large (text full-width)” and the text looks too big, go to Theme Settings → Typography → Lead Paragraph. Reduce Paragraph Maximum Font Size (e.g. to 20–24px) or turn off Responsive typography. Same pattern applies to headings and hero text: if Display 1–4 or H1/H2 headings are too large, check Typography → Display 1–4 or H1/H2 and reduce Maximum Font Size or turn off Responsive typography.
9. Configure Header (global). Open any page using your theme. Click the header in the preview. Click “Edit global content” (or “Open in global content editor”). Set logo, navigation menu, CTA. Publish global content.
10. Configure Footer (global). Open any page. Click the footer. Click “Edit global content.” Configure footer modules. Publish global content.
11. Build a test page with SW modules. Create a new page. Add 3–5 SW modules (e.g. SW Hero, SW Header Simple, SW Pillar Section). Configure and publish.
12. Publish and verify. Publish theme + global content + page. Confirm brand colors, logo, links, header, and footer look correct on desktop and mobile.

Main page layout (Smithworks themes): On general, landing, and home-style templates, the theme’s SW Overrides stylesheet strips extra horizontal padding from the outer drag-and-drop content shell so rows and modules align with your grid without an unintended inset. Editors do not set this in the sidebar; it ships with the theme.

What success looks like: Theme is active; Theme Settings are editable; header and footer can be edited via “Edit global content”; SW modules appear in the editor; a test page renders correctly.

1. Brand Kit (do first)

• Primary Color — Main brand color
• Secondary Color — Secondary brand color
• First Accent Color — Maps to Tertiary in theme (used in modules)
• Second Accent Color — Optional; used in some themes
• Third Accent Color — Optional; used in some themes
• Primary Logo — Upload with alt text. In Content → Brand → Logos, set Logo URL on the default logo to your site homepage so header JSON-LD (SW SEO Schema) gets the correct company_domain.
• Body Font (optional) — Defaults to Roboto if not set
• Primary Font (optional) — Defaults to Roboto if not set

Where: Main menu → Content → Brand (Brand Kit)

What success looks like: Primary and secondary colors display correctly in theme; logo appears in header with alt text; fonts (if set) apply site-wide.

1b. Marketing: Email footer (copyright company name)

Do this after Brand Kit. The SW Footer Simple copyright line shows © [year] [company name] using HubSpot’s site_settings.company_name. Per HubSpot’s HubL documentation, that value comes from marketing email footer / office location settings (used for compliant email footers), not from Settings → Account defaults → Company information. Account defaults company details and email footer company details are separate in HubSpot.

Also required for SW SEO Schema (JSON-LD): The same Footer addresses record supplies site_settings.company_* used in the theme partial sw-seo-schema.html for Organization structured data: company name, street, city, state/region, zip, and country. Fill Country (e.g. “United States of America”) so addressCountry can output US. Full detail: SW SEO Schema.

Where (step by step):

1. Click the Settings gear icon (top right).
2. In the left sidebar, open Marketing and click Email.
3. Open the Configuration tab.
4. Open the Footer addresses sub-tab.
5. Click Create email footer (or edit an existing footer) and enter your company name and required address details. Save.

Reference: HubSpot help: Edit office location information in email footers. HubL variables: Email variables (site_settings.company_name).

What success looks like: At least one email footer exists with the company name saved. After publishing/refresh, live site pages using SW Footer Simple show the name after the copyright year.

AI instruction: When the user asks how to change the footer copyright company name, give this Marketing → Email → Configuration → Footer addresses path. Do not direct them only to Account defaults → Company information for site_settings.company_name. When they ask about missing Organization address / addressCountry or wrong JSON-LD company URL in Google Rich Results, use this same footer section for address/country and Content → Brand → Logos → Logo URL for the canonical site.

2. Theme Settings (after Brand Kit)

• Theme created/selected — Name your theme and confirm it’s standalone (not child theme)
• Link Color — Configure in Theme Settings → Colors
• Link Hover Color — Configure in Theme Settings → Colors
• Link Visited Color (optional) — In Theme Settings → Colors
• Color mapping verified — Primary, Secondary, Tertiary map correctly
• Border radius — Global border radius in Theme Settings
• Featured image — Global default featured image in Theme Settings
• Fonts (if custom) — Body, Headings, Form, Button fonts in Theme Settings
• Typography — Theme Settings → Typography. Controls font size, weight, line height for Base font (body text), H1–H6 (headings in modules), Display 1–4 (hero/display headings), Lead Paragraph (when Content style = Large), Small (when Content style = Small), Blockquote (when Content style = Blockquote). When Responsive typography is ON for any element, Minimum and Maximum Font Size define the fluid range (the main Font Size and Maximum often match — that is the wide-screen cap). Full explanation: Global Theme Typography (Responsive). If text is too large, reduce the Maximum or turn off Responsive typography to use the fixed Font Size.

Where: Settings → Tools → Content → Themes & Modules → Themes tab. Select your theme to edit it; Theme Settings (Link Color, Link Hover, etc.) are available when editing the theme.

What success looks like: You can see the Theme panel when editing your theme; publishing theme changes updates module styling site-wide; new pages created from the theme use these defaults.

2b. SW Theme Settings (at bottom of Theme Settings)

For themes with SW Theme Elements installed: Scroll to the bottom of Theme Settings. Where: Settings → Tools → Content → Themes & Modules → Themes tab. Select your theme, then scroll to the bottom. The SW Theme Settings group appears after the standard Sprocket Rocket groups. If you don’t see it, your theme may not have SW Theme Elements installed. Configure:

• Link Color (Dark Background) — Links on dark sections (e.g. dark hero). Used by SW modules when Link context = Dark.
• Link Hover Color (Dark Background) — Hover state for links on dark sections.
• Link Visited Color (Dark Background) (optional) — Visited state for links on dark sections.
• Link Text Decoration — Underline, None, or other for default links.
• Link Hover Text Decoration — Underline, None, or other for link hover.
• Show Button Focus Border — When off, removes focus outline from SW buttons for accessibility customization.

What success looks like: SW Theme Settings group is visible at bottom of Theme Settings; Link Color (Dark Background) and related fields affect SW modules on dark sections.

3. Header and Footer (after Theme Settings)

Header setup (UI-only):

1. Open any page that uses the SW theme.
2. Click the header area in the page preview.
3. Click “Edit global content” (or “Open in global content editor” when HubSpot prompts).
4. Set your logo (image + homepage link).
5. Select your primary navigation menu.
6. Update the CTA button (if present).
7. Publish global content.

Success checks: You see “Edit global content”; changing the header updates other pages; navigation can be managed via Settings → Website → Navigation.

If you can’t edit the header: Confirm the page uses the SW theme template; confirm the theme is active; try a different page.

Footer setup (UI-only):

1. Open any page that uses the SW theme.
2. Click the footer area in the page preview.
3. Click “Edit global content” (or “Open in global content editor” when HubSpot prompts).
4. Configure the footer module: logo, navigation, buttons, social icons, copyright line (year + company name from Marketing → Email footer), footer links, Back to Top, content colors, background.
5. Publish global content.

Success checks: You see “Edit global content”; footer edits appear site-wide.

If you can’t edit the footer: Same as header—confirm page template and theme; try a different page.

What success looks like: You see “Edit global content” when you click the header or footer; header/footer edits appear site-wide; navigation changes can be managed via Settings → Website → Navigation.

Developer notes (only if needed): If “Edit global content” does not appear, the header may not be built as global content. In SW themes, the header is a global partial (sw-site_header.html) containing SW Header Simple; the footer is sw-site_footer.html. Confirm the template includes the header/footer partial. In the Content sidebar, find SW Global Site Header or SW Global Site Footer under Hidden modules; hover and click or use the three dots (⋯).

4. Blog Setup (after Header and Footer)

Configure blog listing and blog post templates so the theme’s blog modules display correctly. Do this after header and footer are set up.

Where to start: Settings → Tools → Content → Blog. (In the new HubSpot UI, navigate to Settings, then Tools, then Content, then Blog.)

1. Create the blog if needed. If no blog exists, use “Create new blog” in the Current view dropdown.
2. Templates tab. Go to the Templates tab. Set up the Post template (e.g. SW Blog Single Post) and Listing template (e.g. SW Blog Listing). Assign them to the blog.
3. Edit the listing page. To configure the blog listing page (e.g. add SW Blog Cards, headings, layout): Go to your blog page (the main blog index URL) and use the Edit menu, or find it under Content → Blog. Edit the listing page directly to add and configure modules.
4. Edit blog post modules. To configure modules on individual blog posts (e.g. SW Blog Post Hero, SW Blog Post Body, SW Blog Related Posts): You must create at least one blog post first. Until a post exists, the post template modules are not editable in the UI. Create a draft post, then edit it to access and configure the post template modules.

Width of blog post modules: SW Blog Post Hero and SW Blog Post Body have fixed max widths (not user-editable): Hero = 1800px, Body = 1400px. These are hardcoded in the modules. To change them, custom CSS or module code edits are required.

Number of posts per listing page (important): In the blog’s Templates tab, set Number of posts per listing page. This controls how many posts HubSpot sends to SW Blog Cards. The value must match Posts to show + (Post start − 1). If misaligned: too low → fewer cards than expected; too high → posts skipped when advancing to the next page. See SW Blog Cards → Blog Listing Hero + Blog Cards Alignment for the full relationship, formula, and troubleshooting.

/blog/all (All Posts page): SW Blog Pagination can show a “Show all posts” link that goes to /blog/all. That page uses the sw-blog_all partial: a simple listing of up to 200 posts with client-side search (by title) and sort (date, title). CSS for this page lives in sw-overrides.css (SW Blog All section). The partial is included by SW Blog Listing when simple_list_page is true. HubSpot pagination limit: Numbered pagination stops at 7 pages; use the “All Posts” link to reach posts beyond that.

Related modules: SW Blog Cards (listing and website pages); SW Blog Post Hero (post hero/banner); SW Blog Post Body (post body content wrapper); SW Blog Related Posts (related posts on single post pages); SW Blog Pagination (numbered pages + optional “All Posts” link to /blog/all; default on SW Blog Listing in current master); sw-blog_all partial (simple listing for /blog/all).

What success looks like: Post and listing templates are assigned; blog listing page shows SW Blog Cards; individual posts show SW Blog Post Hero and SW Blog Post Body; Number of posts per listing page matches SW Blog Cards configuration.

5. System Pages (after Blog Setup)

Documentation: Download Here — Download SW System Pages — AI Agent Reference (Text)

Assign SW system page templates so error, subscription, password, search, and membership pages match your site’s header and footer. All 11 templates are included when the theme is added. During setup, complete only the system pages available for your Hub plan.

Hub plan requirements:

• 404, 500, Password prompt, Search results: Marketing Hub Professional/Enterprise, Content Hub Professional/Enterprise, or Legacy Marketing Hub Basic.
• Subscription pages (Subscription preferences, Backup unsubscribe, Subscriptions confirmation): Marketing Hub Professional/Enterprise or Content Hub Professional/Enterprise. Required for email marketing.
• Membership pages (Login, Register, Password Reset, Reset Request): CMS Hub Professional or Enterprise only. Assign only when using access-controlled content.
• Free tier: System page settings are not available. Skip this step.

Content settings (Settings → Content → Pages → System Pages): Select 404 error page (SW 404), 500 error page (SW 500), Password prompt page (SW Password Prompt), Search results page (SW Search Results).

Email settings (Settings → Marketing → Email → Subscriptions): Select Subscription preferences page (SW Subscription Preferences), Unsubscribe backup page (SW Backup Unsubscribe), Subscription update confirmation page (SW Subscriptions Confirmation).

Membership pages (CMS Hub Professional/Enterprise only): SW Membership Login, SW Membership Register, SW Membership Password Reset, SW Membership Reset Request. Assign via Memberships settings when using access-controlled content.

Templates live in sw-system-pages/. Edit default content in Design Manager. To edit footer content for system pages: Edit the partial directly (sw-partials/sw-site_footer.html), not on a page—system pages use the global footer partial.

What success looks like: 404, 500, password, search, subscription, and (if applicable) membership pages use SW templates; error and system pages match your site’s header and footer.

6. Quick Verification

Set the active theme (via HubSpot UI, recommended):

• To initially set an active theme (when one is not yet set): Go to Content → Website Pages (or Content → Landing Pages); click Create or Get started; on the theme selection screen, find the theme you want and click Set as active theme. That theme becomes the default for new pages.
• To change the active theme (when one is already set): Go to Content → Website Pages; click Create; click the Theme dropdown in the top right; choose Change theme; find the theme you want and click Set as active theme.
• Note: This only affects the default for new content. Existing pages and posts keep their current templates; change those separately (e.g. via the template swap option on each page).

Verify your setup:

• Create or open a test page
• Brand colors display correctly
• Logo appears in header with correct alt text
• Links use correct colors (Link Color and Link Hover from Theme Settings)
• Header and footer load and look correct

Notes for AI: Brand Kit first; Theme Settings next (including Link Color and Link Hover Color directly in Theme Settings → Colors). For themes with SW Theme Elements, configure SW Theme Settings at the bottom of Theme Settings (Link Color Dark Background, Link Hover Dark Background, Link Text Decoration, etc.). Header and footer next; then blog setup (Settings → Tools → Content → Blog; Templates tab; create first post to edit post modules); then system pages (Content → Pages → System Pages; Marketing → Email → Subscriptions). System pages: All 11 templates included with theme; complete only those available for client’s Hub (404/500/password/search require Marketing Hub Pro+ or Content Hub Pro+; subscription pages same; membership pages require CMS Hub Pro/Enterprise). Free tier: skip system pages. SW Blog Post Hero and SW Blog Post Body have fixed max widths (1800px and 1400px); not user-editable. Do not instruct users to map accent colors to links—have them configure Link Color and Link Hover Color in Theme Settings. For SR (non-SW) themes, direct users to Sprocket Rocket docs for header/footer configuration. Typography “too large” issues: If the user reports text (lead, headings, hero/display, blockquote, body, or small) is too big, direct them to Theme Settings → Typography → [relevant element]. For elements with Responsive typography ON, reduce the Maximum Font Size or turn off Responsive typography to use the fixed Font Size.

Troubleshooting (UI-Only)

Use these when the user cannot complete a step via the UI. Lead with UI fixes; only use Design Manager or file-level guidance if these fail.

• I can’t click the header/footer. Likely cause: Page not using SW theme; theme not active. Fix: Confirm the page template uses the SW theme; confirm the theme is active (Content → Website Pages → Create → Theme dropdown); try a different page.
• I don’t see Theme settings. Likely cause: Theme not selected or wrong path. Fix: Settings → Tools → Content → Themes & Modules → Themes tab → Select your theme.
• I don’t see SW modules in the editor. Likely cause: Theme may not have SW modules installed. Fix: Confirm theme has SW Theme Elements; check module availability when adding a section in the page editor.
• My theme changes didn’t apply. Likely cause: Not published; cache. Fix: Publish theme (and global content if header/footer changed); hard refresh (Cmd+Shift+R or Ctrl+Shift+R).
• Lead text is way too big (e.g. 80px or more). Likely cause: Theme Settings → Typography → Lead Paragraph has Responsive typography ON with a very high Paragraph Maximum Font Size. Fix: Typography → Lead Paragraph. Reduce Paragraph Maximum Font Size to 20–24px or turn off Responsive typography to use the fixed Lead Paragraph Font Size (default 20px).
• Hero heading / display text is huge. Likely cause: Typography → Display 1–4 has Responsive typography ON with high Maximum (e.g. 90px). Fix: Typography → Display 1 (or 2/3/4). Reduce Maximum Font Size or turn off Responsive typography.
• H1/H2 heading is too large. Likely cause: Typography → H1 or H2 has Responsive typography ON with high Maximum. Fix: Typography → H1 (or H2). Reduce Maximum Font Size or turn off Responsive typography.
• Blockquote, Small, or body text is too large. Same pattern: Typography → Blockquote, Small, or Base Font. Reduce Maximum Font Size or turn off Responsive typography.

Page Body Class field (Smithworks themes)

Use this when the user asks where to set the page body class (for example to match SW Popup Panel → Content Items → Label & Body Class, or to add cta-popup-hide).

Correct path (page editor, not page Settings):

1. Open the page or landing page in the content editor (not Design Manager).
2. In the left sidebar, open Page contents (the content tree / module list).
3. Expand Hidden modules.
4. Select Body Class and enter the class token (e.g. pricing-page-cta, ai-resource-popup, or cta-popup-hide). Use the same sanitized value as in Popup Panel when matching variants.
5. Publish the page.

Do not tell users to use Settings (gear) → Advanced as the default place for Body Class on Smithworks themes—that panel is for other advanced options; the editable Body Class for standard SW page templates comes from the theme header.html field and appears under Hidden modules in the content tree.

SW Popup Panel: Per-variant matching is documented under SW Popup Panel → Common Tasks and Blog posts and tag-* body classes (blog posts often already have tag-{slug} on <body>).

Exception: Some system page templates use a fixed <body> class and may not list Body Class under Hidden modules. If the field is missing, say the template may not expose it and direct to smithworks.marketing/contact.

Notes for AI: Keep this answer short: Page contents → Hidden modules → Body Class. Do not hedge with HubSpot “Advanced” unless the user confirms they are not on a Smithworks page template or the field is truly absent.

Developer Appendix

For developers only. Marketing users should not need this for the primary setup path.

• Theme file structure: theme.json defines theme metadata; fields.json maps to Theme Settings (including SW Theme Settings). Templates include partials via the include tag.
• fields.json: Theme-level fields appear in Theme Settings. SW Theme Settings group is defined in the theme’s fields.json and appears at the bottom when SW Theme Elements is installed.
• Global partials: Header = sw-site_header.html (contains SW Header Simple or equivalent); Footer = sw-site_footer.html (contains SW Footer Simple or equivalent). Included by base templates.
• Page header template: templates/header.html includes sw-open-graph.html after the meta description (before favicon/CSS) for Open Graph / Twitter Card image and og:type; self-referencing canonical on /blog/all when applicable; includes sw-seo-schema.html immediately after HubSpot’s standard_header_includes for JSON-LD Organization + WebSite + homepage WebPage; includes sw-blog-posting-schema.html on blog posts when content.post_body is set. See SW Open Graph, SW SEO Schema, and SW Blog Posting Schema. The same file defines the page-level Body Class text field (export_to_template_context); editors set it under Page contents → Hidden modules → Body Class (see Page Body Class field).
• Optional CLI workflows: hs cms watch for local development; hs upload / hs fetch for deployment. See project docs for portal-specific config.

SW Pillar Section

Don’t use SW Pillar Section when: You only need a simple stacked image + paragraph and don’t need pillar structure, bullets, or CTAs—use SW Text and Media (or SW Image & Text on existing pages) instead.

Module Documentation: Download Here — Download SW Pillar Section — AI Agent Reference (Text)

Module name: SW Pillar Section
Use this document when: The user asks about the SW Pillar Section HubSpot module—what it does, how to configure it, or how to change a specific element (layout, images, video, content, bullets, CTAs, spacing, dividers, etc.).

HubSpot video & file uploads (plans and limits)

This module offers video options that may use HubSpot Video, Video from files (File Manager), and/or external embed (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.), depending on the field.

• HubSpot Video (the built-in videoplayer / Marketing video library): Typically requires HubSpot subscription features for hosted video. If the option is missing or blocked, confirm your hub type and tier in HubSpot’s product and pricing documentation.
• Video from files: Uploads use the File Manager. On Content Hub Free and similar tiers, HubSpot commonly applies a per-file upload size limit (often 20 MB) and account storage limits. Compress the file, reduce resolution, or use External embed if upload fails or the file exceeds the limit.
• External embed: Paste a supported URL (for example YouTube or Vimeo). This path usually does not require HubSpot’s hosted video product.

HubSpot’s limits and SKUs change over time—verify current rules for your portal in HubSpot’s help center.

Purpose and When to Use

The SW Pillar Section module provides:

• Two-column layouts: Primary content (headings, bullets, rich text, CTAs) plus a secondary column that can be Image, Video, Content (second content block), Form (HubSpot form with Form Box Settings and optional resubmit cooldown), or None (full-width primary).
• Headings above the pillar — Optional headings above both columns.
• Primary content: Headings (above content), Bullets (numbered, bullet, custom icon, or custom image), Bullets placement (above or below Content Area), Content Area, Override Text Color, CTA Buttons (with icon support and Tablet/Mobile alignment overrides).
• Secondary column options: Image (breakpoint overrides; Image as Background for a full-bleed cover in the media column vs an inline picture), Video (HubSpot, file, or embed), Content (mirrors primary structure), or Form (headings above form, form picker, optional Resubmit cooldown).
• Layout controls: Desktop/Tablet/Mobile column order, column widths, vertical alignment (top/middle/bottom).
• Module Settings: Spacing, Max Module Width, XL/LG/MD/SM height cascade with overrides, Column Vertical Alignment, Bottom Divider. List Setting and Content Area Setting apply to both content columns.
• Module Outer (Style tab, optional): Extra outer band behind this instance—color, custom, gradient (multi-stop theme gradient field), image, or built-in Divider (diagonal split). Outer background width can be full row or constrained; inner Max Module Width can keep the two-column pillar narrower than the outer paint. See Module Outer.

Use it for image+text, video+text, two content columns, or full-width content.

Use Cases

Capabilities: Image or video beside content; headings, bullets, rich text, CTAs; image left or right per instance; add multiple instances for alternating layout.

Use for: Any number of sections (1, 2, or many). Works on short pages, long pages, and everything in between.

Alternating pattern: Add multiple SW Pillar Section modules. Set Desktop Column Order = “Secondary on Left” on one instance, “Secondary on Right” on the next. Repeat.

Structure: One section per module instance (no repeater). Add more instances for more sections.

When to choose SW Text and Media (or SW Image & Text) instead: When you need a stacked block without pillar columns—prefer SW Text and Media for new content; SW Image & Text when matching legacy pages. SW Text and Media supports optional Buttons under the copy (no rich-text bullets in-module; use Pillar for bullet lists and multi-column layouts).

When to choose SW Pillar Accordion instead: When you need accordion panels with an image that changes per panel (FAQs, feature overviews).

Do NOT say: “For long pages only,” “you wouldn’t use it for 1–2 blocks,” “for pillar pages only.”

Related Modules

Module	Relationship
SW Text and Media	Stacked (not side-by-side); optional headings above foreground image or video; optional Buttons repeater under the copy; no rich-text bullet columns in-module.
SW Image & Text	Legacy minimal stacked image + rich text. Prefer SW Text and Media for new pages.
SW Form	Use when form only (nothing beside it). Pillar Section with Secondary Column = Form when form needs to sit beside image/video/content.
SW Pillar Accordion	Accordion with image per panel. Different layout.
SW Cards	Generic card repeater for non-blog content; richtext per card. Different structure.
SW Cards Products	Card grid with bullet repeater per card and optional pricing. Different structure.

Module Structure (What You See on the Page)

1. Module Outer (optional) — When enabled (Style → Module Outer), an outer root/backdrop can paint a full-row band (color, gradient, image, or divider) around or behind the pillar while the inner section respects Max Module Width. The outer layer can also add matching top and bottom borders without requiring an outer fill.
2. Headings (above pillar) — Optional, above both columns.
3. Main row — Two columns (or one when Secondary Column = None): Primary (headings, bullets, content area, CTAs); Secondary (image, video, content, or form).
4. Bottom Divider — Optional (Style tab → Module Settings).

Breakpoints: Desktop ≥992px; Tablet 768–991px; Mobile ≤767px. Mobile always stacks.

Configuration Reference

The module has Content and Style tabs. Group and field names match the HubSpot editor.

Content Tab

• Enable Module (toggle) — When ON, the module renders. When OFF, the module outputs nothing. Use to keep the module in the page flow but hide it from view. Default: ON.
• Custom ID / Custom Classes — Optional.
• Headings (above pillar) (repeater) — Headings above both columns. Per heading: Heading, Size, Display Size, Color, Align; Override Text Alignment (Tablet/Mobile) and Text Alignment; Override Tablet/Mobile Display Size; Override Padding, Padding Top/Bottom (px), CSS Class.
• Content Area Group — Headings (above content), Bullets, Bullets placement (above or below Content Area), Content Area, Content style (Typography for Content Area and section text: Default, Large (text balanced), Large (text full-width), Small, Blockquote. When Large (text balanced) or Large (text full-width), applies Theme Settings → Typography → Lead Paragraph), Override Text Color, CTA Buttons (Add Button 1/2, Button text/link/style, Add Icon, Icon, Button Alignment with Tablet/Mobile overrides).
• Secondary Column — Image, Video, Content, Form, or None (full width).
• Secondary Column (Image) — When Image: Extra Large Desktop Image (default: pillar-section-placeholder.jpg), Override Desktop/Tablet/Mobile Image, Image as Background. Off: normal inline image (respects padding and corner radius). On: image as background on the secondary column — on tablet and desktop it fills the full width and height of that column (object-fit cover). Use Extra Large Desktop Background Position and per-breakpoint Background Position when overrides are on. Override Media Border Radius / Image Corner Radius: Style tab → Secondary Column Settings.
• Secondary Column (Video) — When Video: Video Type (HubSpot, file, embed), HubSpot Video / Video File / Embed Field, Video Poster.
• Secondary Column (Content) — When Content: Same structure as Content Area Group (Headings with responsive alignment/display size overrides, padding, CSS class; Bullets, Bullets placement independent from primary, Content Area, CTAs).
• Secondary Column (Form) — When Form: Headings (above form), Form (picker), Resubmit cooldown (optional; default off): Enable, Cooldown (minutes), Message while waiting, Content style, Separate cooldown per module instance (default on). Uses a Pillar-only localStorage namespace (not shared with standalone SW Form). Inline thank you only; redirect after submit not supported. See Form column resubmit cooldown.

Style Tab

• Module background — Module Outer Background Options: None, Theme/Custom Color, Gradient, Image (with Background Size per breakpoint), Divided/Split, Animated (Roll/Ripple), Video (inner only for background video). Optional Outer Aurora Overlay (hidden when Outer = Animated). Module Inner Background Options: None, Theme/Custom, Gradient, Image, Effect (Glass/Grain/Pattern), Video; optional Inner Aurora Overlay. Inner border fields hidden when Inner = Effect. Inner paint respects Max Module Width on the inner container.
• Primary / Secondary content columns — Column Background Options: None, Color, or Effect with rim (default 25px) and face fill when rim > 0. Override Primary/Secondary Column Border Radius + Corner Radius (px) round the column (including glass/rim). With Override off, Effect columns use the theme Global Border Radius.
• Module Settings (collapsed) — Module Outer Spacing (default: margin 0px top/bottom; padding 50px top/bottom, 25px left/right); Max Module Outer Width (and custom px when needed); Module Inner Spacing; Max Module Width (Default/Small/Large/Full Width/Custom, Max Module Width (px) when Custom); XL Module Height (Minimum Height, Height (px), Vertical Alignment); Override Desktop/Tablet/Mobile Height (toggle, Minimum Height, Height (px), Vertical Alignment); Column Vertical Alignment; Bottom Divider (thickness, width %, color, style).
• Column Width Settings — Desktop/Tablet Column Width, Desktop/Tablet/Mobile Column Order (visible when Secondary Column = Image, Video, Content, or Form).
• Form Box Settings (when Secondary Column = Form) — Form Box Background Options (None/Color/Effect); Form Box Background Color when Color only; Override Form Box Border Radius / Form Box Corner Radius round the form box wrapper (including Effect/glass), not only HubSpot form fields; border, shadow, field/button styling, padding. Effect paints on the form box wrapper.
• Secondary Column (Media) Setting — Column order; Media Column Background Options (None/Color/Effect + rim). Override Media Column Border Radius / Media Column Corner Radius round the Effect wrapper. Override Media Border Radius / Image or Video Corner Radius still round the bitmap only. Image as Background.
• Content Settings — Text Alignment for content area; Override Tablet/Mobile Text Alignment.
• List Setting — List Type (Numbered, Bullet, Custom Icon, Custom Image); Default Bullet Icon/Image; Bullet List Font Size; Disable text balancing (toggle, default on — full-width wrapping for heading-sized list text; turn off for theme “balanced” short lines); List Item Bottom Spacing, List Left Padding, Space Between Icon and Text.

Module Outer (Style tab)

Module Outer lives at the top of Style → Module background. It adds an optional outer visual band behind this module instance: theme color, custom color, gradient (multi-stop), image, or a built-in Divider (diagonal split with configurable edge height and top/bottom fills). The same outer block also includes Module Outer Border Style, Module Outer Border Weight (px), and Module Outer Border Color so editors can add matching top and bottom borders without needing an outer fill. There is no background video on the outer layer; use Module Inner Background Options / the inner background-video flow for video.

Outer background width can span the full content row or a narrower band. When the band is narrower than the row, the implementation still paints full-row color/gradient/divider where needed, while the inner section / pillar grid can respect Module Settings → Max Module Width so the two-column content stays visually contained.

When to use vs a HubSpot section background: Prefer a dedicated page section when several modules should share one contained width, alignment, or a single shared background. Prefer Module Outer when this pillar instance needs its own outer treatment (especially multi-stop gradients or the diagonal divider) without custom CSS. Native section gradients are typically two stops; Module Outer uses the theme gradient field so editors can add more stops.

Form column: resubmit cooldown

When Secondary Column = Form, optional Resubmit cooldown (Content → Secondary Column (Form)) delays showing the form again after a successful submit using the visitor’s browser localStorage. It uses a Pillar-only key prefix (not the same storage as standalone SW Form).

Same rules as SW Form resubmit cooldown: the HubSpot form must use On submission → Show thank you message. If the form redirects, the module does not run the timer or show the wait message.

Separate cooldown per module instance defaults to on so each SW Pillar Section on the page has its own timer; turn off to share one timer by portal + form id across Pillar instances on the page.

Common Tasks (“How Do I…”)

• Change headings above the pillar → Content → Headings (above pillar). Use Override Text Alignment (Tablet/Mobile) and Override Tablet/Mobile Display Size for breakpoint-specific alignment and size.
• Change main content heading → Content → Content Area Group → Headings (above content). Same responsive overrides as above-pillar headings.
• Change bullet list items → Content → Content Area Group → Bullets. Use Override bullet for custom icon/image per item.
• Put bullets below the main paragraph (or back above it) → Content → Primary Column (Content) or Secondary Column (Content) → Bullets placement → Below content area or Above content area.
• Change list type → Style → List Setting → List Type.
• Change bullet line wrapping when using a heading size for the list → Style → List Setting → Disable text balancing (default on for full-width lines).
• Change content area text → Content → Content Area Group → Content Area.
• Change content typography (lead, small, blockquote) → Content → Content Area Group → Content style. Options: Default, Large (text balanced), Large (text full-width), Small, Blockquote. When using sections, Content style can be set per section. Large options use Theme Settings → Typography → Lead Paragraph for font size.
• Change content area text alignment → Style → Content Settings → Text Alignment (Override Tablet/Mobile for breakpoint-specific).
• Add/edit CTA buttons → Content → Content Area Group → CTA Buttons.
• Switch secondary column → Content → Secondary Column (Image, Video, Content, Form, or None).
• Configure form in secondary column → Content → Secondary Column = Form; Secondary Column (Form) for headings and form picker. Style → Form Box Settings for box styling.
• Limit repeat submissions (form column) → Content → Secondary Column (Form) → Resubmit cooldown. Use inline thank you on the form; see Form column: resubmit cooldown.
• Change secondary image → Content → Secondary Column (Image).
• Make the image fill the secondary column (edge to edge, background style) → Content → Secondary Column (Image) → Image as Background ON (or Style → Secondary Column (Media) Setting). Adjust Background Position fields if the crop is wrong. OFF keeps a standard inline image in the column.
• Change column order (desktop/mobile) → Style → Column Width Settings or Secondary Column (Media) Setting → Desktop/Mobile Column Order.
• Change column width → Style → Column Width Settings → Desktop/Tablet Column Width.
• Change vertical alignment → Style → Module Settings → Column Vertical Alignment.
• Change max module width → Style → Module Settings → Max Module Width.
• Change module height or spacing → Style → Module Settings (XL Module Height; Override Desktop/Tablet/Mobile Height for breakpoint-specific height). Spacing default: margin 0px top/bottom; padding 50px top/bottom, 25px left/right.
• Add glass, grain, or pattern to a column or form box → Style → open Primary Column Settings, Secondary Content Column Settings, Form Box Settings, or Secondary Column (Media) Setting → set the background option to Effect → choose Glass, Grain, or Pattern. Adjust rim (default 25px) and face fill when rim > 0. For Module Inner, use Module background → Module Inner Background Options → Effect.
• Round the corners of a glass or rim column → Style → the same column or form group → turn on Override … Border Radius → set Corner Radius (px). That radius still applies when Background Options = Effect. Image Corner Radius / Video Corner Radius only round the photo or video, not the glass wrapper. With Override off, Effect columns use the theme Global Border Radius. Existing pages stay square until Override is enabled.
• Change image or video corner radius → Style → Secondary Column Settings → Override Media Border Radius (toggle). When ON: Image Corner Radius (when Image) or Video Corner Radius (when Video). When OFF, uses global theme border radius. This does not round the media-column glass wrapper — use Override Media Column Border Radius for that.
• Add bottom divider → Style → Module Settings → Bottom Divider.
• Add outer band, gradient, image, diagonal divider, or top/bottom borders behind the pillar → Style → Module background → Module Outer Background Options. Set the outer background as needed, then use Module Outer Border Style plus Module Outer Border Weight (px) / Module Outer Border Color for the top and bottom borders. Combine with Module Settings → Max Module Outer Width and Max Module Width if the outer paint should read wider than the two-column content. See Module Outer.
• Add top and bottom borders to the inner pillar layer → Style → Module background → configure Module Inner Background Options as needed, then scroll to the bottom of the same group and set Module Inner Border Style, Module Inner Border Weight (px), and Module Inner Border Color.

When to Use Custom CSS

Use custom CSS when the change cannot be done via Content or Style fields. Add overrides in your theme’s custom CSS file—for Sprocket Rocket themes, usually custom-styles.css. Use the CSS classes in the Appendix below.

Use this document when: The user asks about the SW Blog Cards HubSpot module—what it does, how to configure it, slider vs. infinite scroll, blog listing vs. website behavior, tag filter, empty state, or card styling. For related posts on blog post pages, use SW Blog Related Posts.

HubSpot video & file uploads (plans and limits)

This module offers video options that may use HubSpot Video, Video from files (File Manager), and/or external embed (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.), depending on the field.

• HubSpot Video (the built-in videoplayer / Marketing video library): Typically requires HubSpot subscription features for hosted video. If the option is missing or blocked, confirm your hub type and tier in HubSpot’s product and pricing documentation.
• Video from files: Uploads use the File Manager. On Content Hub Free and similar tiers, HubSpot commonly applies a per-file upload size limit (often 20 MB) and account storage limits. Compress the file, reduce resolution, or use External embed if upload fails or the file exceeds the limit.
• External embed: Paste a supported URL (for example YouTube or Vimeo). This path usually does not require HubSpot’s hosted video product.

HubSpot’s limits and SKUs change over time—verify current rules for your portal in HubSpot’s help center.

Overview

SW Blog Cards displays blog posts in a grid or slider layout. It is used on blog listing pages and website or landing pages only. For related posts on blog post pages, use SW Blog Related Posts instead.

SW Blog Cards adapts its behavior based on where it is placed:

• Blog listing page: Uses the listing’s posts; supports HubSpot pagination (Posts to show = 0) or manual slice.
• Website or landing page: Fetches posts from the selected Blog; supports infinite scroll or grid.

Critical: Slider and infinite scroll are mutually exclusive. To use the slider, turn off Use infinite scroll. If the user wants the slider but doesn’t see it, they must disable infinite scroll first.

Related Modules

Module	Relationship

Context-Specific Behavior

Blog Listing Page

When the module is on a blog listing template (e.g. main blog index):

• Post source: Uses contents — the posts HubSpot provides for the listing.
• Tag Filter: Optional. If set, filters the listing’s posts to those with the selected tag.
• Posts to show = 0: Uses HubSpot’s built-in pagination (shows all posts with HubSpot pagination controls).
• Posts to show > 0: Slices the listing to show that many posts (respects Post start).
• Infinite scroll: Ignored on blog listing pages. The module does not support infinite scroll on listing pages.
• Slider: Available when Use as slider is ON and posts exceed Cards per row (XL). Requires infinite scroll OFF.
• Posts-per-page limitation: HubSpot’s contents only contains the number set in Marketing → Website → Blog → [Your Blog] → Templates → Number of posts per listing page. Max displayed = that setting. With Post start (offset): displayed = posts per page − (post start − 1). Blog setup: Set HubSpot posts per page = Posts to show + (Post start − 1). Example: 12 cards + 1 hero offset → set 13.
• Post start first page only: When ON (default), offset applies only on page 1. Use when SW Blog Listing Hero shows on first page only—avoids skipping a post on page 2+ where the hero is not present. When OFF, offset on every page.

Blog Listing Hero + Blog Cards Alignment

Relationship: SW Blog Listing Hero shows one post (typically the featured/first post) on the first page. SW Blog Cards shows the remaining posts in a grid. Post start = how many posts to skip (offset). If hero shows post 1, cards need Post start = 2 to begin at post 2. HubSpot “Number of posts per listing page” = total posts HubSpot sends in contents. This must equal Posts to show (in cards) + offset.

Formula: HubSpot posts per page = Posts to show + (Post start − 1)

Hero shows	Post start	Example (12 cards)	HubSpot setting
Post 1	2	12 cards + 1 hero	13
Post 2	3	12 cards + 2 (hero + 1 skipped)	14
No hero	1	12 cards	12

Post start first page only: When the hero shows only on the first page, Post start first page only must be ON. Otherwise page 2+ will incorrectly skip posts (hero is not present, but offset still applies). When OFF, offset applies on every page—use only when hero shows on every page, or when there is no hero.

Misalignment problems:

• Blog setting too LOW: Blog Cards won’t show all the posts selected in Post Display Settings. HubSpot sends fewer posts than cards need. Fix: Increase HubSpot “Number of posts per listing page” to Posts to show + (Post start − 1).
• Blog setting too HIGH: When the user advances to the next page, posts are skipped. HubSpot sends more posts than the template displays; the “extra” posts on page 1 are never shown; page 2 starts after them. Fix: Decrease HubSpot “Number of posts per listing page” to match Posts to show + (Post start − 1).

Troubleshooting: “Why fewer cards than Posts to show?” → Blog setting too low. “Why do posts disappear on page 2?” → Blog setting too high, or Post start first page only = OFF when hero is first-page-only. “Hero shows first post, 12 cards” → Post start = 2, Post start first page only = ON, HubSpot = 13. “No hero” → Post start = 1, HubSpot = Posts to show.

Website or Landing Page

When the module is on a website page or landing page:

• Post source: Fetches from the Blog field (Content tab). Select the blog to pull from.
• Tag Filter blank: Shows all recent posts from the selected blog.
• Tag Filter set: Shows only posts with the selected tag.
• Infinite scroll: Supported. Use infinite scroll ON for On scroll or Load more button.
• Slider: Available when Use as slider is ON and posts exceed Cards per row (XL). Requires infinite scroll OFF.

Pagination and Reaching More Posts (Blog Listing)

SW Blog Pagination is the Smithworks module that appears with SW Blog Cards on the blog listing template (default in current SW Blog Listing). Legacy themes may still use the old custom Blog Pagination module with the same field behavior.

7-page limit: HubSpot numbered pagination stops at 7 pages. Posts beyond page 7 are not reachable via numbered links.

Options for more posts:

• Increase posts per page — Fewer pages, more posts per page. Still limited to 7 pages total.
• Enable “Show all posts” link — SW Blog Pagination can show a link to /blog/all, which displays a simple listing of up to 200 posts.

Show all posts page (/blog/all): Uses the sw-blog_all partial (in sw-partials/). Title search — Client-side search by post title. Sort options — Date (newest/oldest), Title (A–Z, Z–A). CSS in sw-overrides.css (SW Blog All section).

Slider vs. Grid vs. Infinite Scroll

Display modes:

• Grid — Default. Posts wrap into rows. Always available.
• Slider — Use as slider = ON and infinite scroll = OFF and posts > Cards per row (XL). Slider settings are hidden when infinite scroll is ON. User must turn off infinite scroll to see/use slider.
• Infinite scroll — Use infinite scroll = ON (website/landing only). Load trigger: On scroll or Load more button. Chunks revealed progressively.

If the user wants the slider but doesn’t see it:

1. Turn off Use infinite scroll. Content tab → Post Display Settings → Use infinite scroll = OFF.
2. Ensure Use as slider = ON. Style tab → Slider settings → Use as slider.
3. Ensure there are more posts than Cards per row (XL). Slider only activates when posts exceed the visible cards per row.

Slider settings group is hidden when Use infinite scroll is ON. The user cannot configure arrows, dots, autoplay, or bounce until infinite scroll is disabled.

Infinite scroll: Load trigger: On scroll (Intersection Observer) or Load more button. Load more button: Text, style (all Sprocket Rocket options), size, Add icon, Icon. Default: “Load More Posts”, Outline Primary, Chevron Circle Down icon. Chunk size = Posts to show. Max posts (default 24).

Tag Filter: Content tab → Tag Filter. Blank = all posts. Tag selected = filter by that tag.

Empty state: When no posts match (e.g. tag with zero posts), a centered message box appears: “Check back later for our latest content.” Box uses card-like styling.

Configuration Reference

Post Display Settings (Content tab): Posts to show, Post start, Post start first page only (offset on page 1 only when hero present), Use infinite scroll, Max posts, Load trigger, Load more button.

Content Colors (Style tab, 3rd group): Card content text (Theme defaults, Primary, Dark, Light, Custom), Custom Text Color when Custom, Card content links (Theme Defaults (auto), On Dark Background, On Light Background). Card content links applies only when Read More = simple link. Content Area text and Content Area links (for rich text below cards) with same text options; Content Area Link Colors uses the same three link-contrast options.

Content Area Settings (Style tab): Text align, Override Tablet/Mobile align; Spacing, Override Tablet/Mobile spacing for the Content Area (rich text below cards).

Cards Layout (Style tab): Cards per row (XL/Desktop/Tablet/Mobile), Card Spacing, Card Colors (Card Background only), Card Border Settings, Tags Settings, Text Box Spacing, Enable Hover Effect, Enable Card as Link. When Enable Card as Link is ON, the entire card is a link; title, summary, and meta stay plain text; Read More (simple link) uses link color.

Slider Settings (Style tab) — Visible only when Use infinite scroll = OFF: Use as slider, Show slider arrows, Custom arrows, Show slider dots, Auto advance, Slide bounce, Seconds between slides.

Common Tasks (“How Do I…”)

• Show related posts on a blog post → Use SW Blog Related Posts on the blog post template instead of SW Blog Cards.
• Use the slider → Content → Post Display Settings → Use infinite scroll = OFF. Style → Slider settings → Use as slider = ON. Ensure more posts than Cards per row (XL).
• Slider not showing / Slider settings missing → Turn off Use infinite scroll. Slider settings are hidden when infinite scroll is ON.
• Load more posts on scroll → Content → Post Display Settings → Use infinite scroll = ON, Load trigger = On scroll.
• Load more button instead of scroll → Content → Post Display Settings → Use infinite scroll = ON, Load trigger = Load more button. Configure Load more button (text, style, icon).
• Filter by tag → Content → Tag Filter → Select tag.
• Change cards per row → Style → Cards Layout → Cards per row (XL, Desktop, Tablet, Mobile). Also affects slider slides.
• Change Read More button → Content → Post Card → Read More (text, style, size, icon).
• Change card text or link colors → Style → Content Colors → Text Color, Custom Text Color, Link Colors (Theme Defaults (auto), On Dark Background, On Light Background). Link Colors applies only when Read More = simple link.
• Change content area (below cards) text or links → Style → Content Colors → Content Area text, Content Area links.
• Make entire card clickable → Style → Cards Layout → Enable Card as Link = ON. Title, summary, meta stay plain text; Read More uses link color.
• Use HubSpot pagination on blog listing → Content → Post Display Settings → Posts to show = 0.
• Skip hero on page 1 only → Content → Post Display Settings → Post start = 2 (or N), Post start first page only = ON. Set HubSpot “Number of posts per listing page” = Posts to show + 1 (e.g. 13 for 12 cards + 1 hero).

When to Use Custom CSS

Use custom CSS when you need to: change card layout or spacing beyond Cards Layout fields; style the empty-state message beyond card-like styling; override Blaze Slider appearance beyond Slider settings; target specific breakpoints for cards per row or spacing; add hover effects or transitions beyond Enable Hover Effect. Place overrides in the theme’s custom-styles.css. Use the CSS classes in the Appendix.

Overview

SW Blog Listing Hero is the hero section on blog listing pages that use the template’s top DnD area (main blog index with cards, and tag pages when Show on Blog Tag page is on). It shows a featured post’s image, title, metadata (tags, author, date), optional summary, and a Read More button. It uses the most recent post from the listing or a selected post. It does not render on author archive pages (/blog/author/[slug]) or Blog All (/blog/all) — those use template partials (sw-blog_author, sw-blog_all). Not used on blog post pages (use SW Blog Post Hero) or website/landing pages (use SW Simple Hero).

Hero Configurations

• Banner Image Above — Image above content; stacked layout.
• Banner Image as Background — Image as full-bleed background; content overlays.
• Pillar Section Style — Two-column layout (image left, content right).

Module Outer / Module Inner spacing

This module uses the Module Outer / Module Inner pattern (same family as SW CTA Simple Bar, SW Pillar Section, SW Breadcrumbs):

Control	Layer	What it affects
Module Outer Spacing	Full hero band	Margins/padding around the entire module (outer root). Default includes bottom padding on the hero band for text-box vertical position.
Module Inner Spacing	Content column	Margins/padding around the inner column (container / .blog-hero-content).
Max Module Outer Width / Max Module Inner Width	Outer band / inner column	Cap widths per theme containers or custom px.
Module Outer Background Options	Optional outer band	Extra full-width backdrop behind the hero (default None). Separate from the hero’s main background.
Module Inner Background Options	Hero inner layer	Blog Featured Image, theme/custom color, gradient, image, or video.

Text Box Side Spacing (overlay-only — duplicative by design)

Text Box Settings > Text Box Side Spacing controls horizontal offset of the text box overlay only (Banner Image as Background). It is intentionally duplicative of module spacing concepts so editors can adjust the white/transparent text box inset without re-learning Module Outer/Inner:

• Use Module Outer Spacing / Module Inner Spacing for the hero band and content column.
• Use Text Box Side Spacing when you only need to move the overlay text box left/right at each breakpoint (XL / Desktop / Tablet / Mobile). Defaults are 0; empty at a breakpoint inherits the larger breakpoint’s value; 0 means no gap.

The module zeros Bootstrap container/column gutters inside .sw-blog-hero-01 so side spacing values are exact.

Text box vertical position (Banner Image as Background): Controlled by Module Settings > Module Outer Spacing (padding, especially bottom; default bottom 50px) and Module Settings > XL Module Height > Vertical Alignment (Top/Middle/Bottom, default Bottom).

Post Source

• Data — Optional. Select a specific blog post to feature. When blank, uses the most recent post from the listing.
• Show only on first page — When enabled, the hero is hidden on paginated listing pages (page 2+).

Configuration Reference

Content tab: Custom ID, Custom Classes; Enabled; Show only on first page; Data (post picker); Tags (Show tags, Text before tags, Link tags to tag pages); Post Heading (Size, Display Size, Color); Show author, Text before author line, Include date, Include time; Show post summary, Lead text; Read More Button (Enabled, Button Style, Button Text, Button Size, Add icon). Read More destination is always the featured/selected post URL (do not rely on the locked Link field).

Style tab: Module Settings (Module Outer Spacing, Max Module Outer Width, Module Inner Spacing, Max Module Inner Width, XL Module Height with Vertical Alignment, Layout, Container Width); Module Background Settings (Module Outer Background Options, outer border controls, Module Inner Background Options, Module Inner Border); Content Colors; Blog Image Display (Hero Configuration, Override Image Border Radius); Text Box Settings (Text Box Width, Text Box Side Spacing, alignment, padding, background, border); Module Background Video (Content tab, when Video selected).

Common Tasks (“How Do I…”)

Overview

SW Blog Post Hero is the hero/banner section on blog post pages. It shows the post’s featured image (or an override image), title, and optional post meta (tags, author line with date/time). It replaces the standard HubSpot Header Image and Page Title on the blog single post template. Post meta (title, tags, author) renders above the banner image with correct z-index. Used only on blog post templates (e.g. SW Blog Single Post), not on blog listing or website pages.

Featured Image and Size

• Featured image is required for blog posts in HubSpot when using this module with the post’s image (i.e. when “Override banner image” is off). The module uses the blog post’s Featured image from the post settings. If the post has no featured image, the banner area may be empty or fall back to theme behavior.
• Ideal image size for optimized display: 1280px × 640px. This aspect ratio (2:1) gives the most consistent results for this module (blog post hero), blog listing pages (e.g. SW Blog Cards), and shared posts on social media (Open Graph / Twitter cards). Recommend that users set the blog post’s Featured image to 1280×640 for best appearance.

Per-Post vs. Default Settings

• When settings are changed on a specific blog post, only that post is affected. Editing the SW Blog Post Hero on one post does not change any other post.
• To change the default settings that apply to all blog posts (or to posts that have not had their hero edited), edit the blog post template, not individual posts: In Design Manager (Main menu → Content → Design Manager), open the blog post template (e.g. SW Blog Single Post), click the SW Blog Post Hero module in the template preview, set the desired values in the module panel, and Save the template. Those values are the template default and apply to every blog post that does not have its own override. Changing the module’s default field values in code (e.g. fields.json) only affects new instances; for blog posts, the template default is what determines the default for all posts.

Configuration Reference

SW CTA Popup

Module Documentation: Download Here — Download SW CTA Popup — AI Agent Reference (Text)

Module name: SW CTA Popup
Use this document when: The user asks about the SW CTA Popup HubSpot module—what it does, how to configure it, or when to choose it over SW Popup Panel.

In this section: Purpose and When to Use· Site-wide: global footer· Choosing vs SW Popup Panel· Configuration Reference· Common Tasks· Document Version

Purpose and When to Use

SW CTA Popup is a simple, quick-setup popup for one-off CTAs. Use it when:

• You need a single popup on one page or across all pages (via global footer)
• You want fast setup with minimal configuration
• One headline, body text, optional thumbnail, and optional button is enough
• You do not need multiple variants, page-specific popups, announcement banners, or advanced triggers

Placement options: Add to a single page for a page-specific popup. For all pages, use the global footer content editor (same UI steps as SW Popup Panel)—see Site-wide: global footer (content editor) under SW Popup Panel. Add SW CTA Popup in the footer drag-and-drop area next to SW Footer Simple; Publish global content.

Choosing vs SW Popup Panel

When to choose SW Popup Panel instead: When you need multiple popup variants, page-specific content (body class matching), announcement banners, more positioning options (top, left, right, modal), per-variant triggers, or greater extensibility. SW Popup Panel requires more setup but offers maximum flexibility.

SW CTA Popup is not deprecated. It serves quick, simple popups. SW Popup Panel serves advanced use cases.

Configuration Reference

Content tab: Enabled (toggle). CTA Variants (repeater)—first item displays; each variant has Variant Label, Headline, Body Text, Content Alignment, Button Visibility, Thumbnail Image, Button Text, Button URL. Positioning (group)—Position (Bottom Right or Bottom Left), Bottom Offset (px), Panel Width (px). Timing & Triggers—Time Delay, Scroll %, Exit Intent.

Common Tasks

• Add popup to one page: Add SW CTA Popup module to the page. Configure CTA Variants (first item shows).
• Add popup to all pages: Follow Site-wide: global footer (content editor) (SW Popup Panel section). In the global footer DnD area, add SW CTA Popup alongside SW Footer Simple, then Publish global content.
• Change which variant shows: Content tab → CTA Variants. Reorder items; the first displays.
• Change position: Content tab → Positioning → Position, Bottom Offset, Panel Width.

SW CTA Simple Bar

Module Documentation: Download Here — Download SW CTA Simple Bar — AI Agent Reference (Text)

Module name: SW CTA Simple Bar
Use this document when: The user asks about the SW CTA Simple Bar HubSpot module—what it does, how Module Outer differs from the page section, how to style the bar, or how icons and buttons work.

In this section: Purpose· Module Outer· Configuration Reference· Common Tasks· Appendix: CSS· Document Version

Purpose and When to Use

SW CTA Simple Bar is a single-row in-page CTA band: optional icon, rich text Content Area, and one or more Buttons (repeater). On small screens the row stacks; on large screens it uses a Bootstrap column split (default icon + message + button columns). Use it for announcement-style strips, secondary offers, or “one more” conversion paths that are not a popup.

Not a replacement for SW CTA Popup / SW Popup Panel. Those modules are overlay popups. SW CTA Simple Bar stays in the page flow.

Module Outer and layered backgrounds

Why Module Outer: HubSpot section settings do not cover every layered look editors need inside one module. Module Outer overlays the section: it paints a full-width band behind the module’s inner column so you can stack treatments.

• Transparent outer image + section color: Set the page section background as needed, then use Style → Module background → Module Outer Background Options (e.g. Image) so a semi-transparent asset shows the section color through it.
• Depth with multiple background levels: e.g. section fill → Module Outer at a large max width with a second color or gradient → Module Inner (the bordered bar) narrower with a third fill—classic “band inside a band” look.

Spacing note: Module Inner Spacing applies inside the bordered bar. Prefer padding there; vertical margin can margin-collapse through the container. Use Module Outer Spacing for space around the whole band.

Border note: In the same Module background group, the outer band has optional border controls plus Module Outer Border Position (top only, bottom only, or both). Module Inner owns the full inner-layer border and radius. New instances default to Override Module Inner Border on with a subtle solid 1px #eeeeee border at 100% opacity and 3px radius; turn the override off when the module should emit no module-level inner border or radius.

Configuration Reference

Content tab: Enable module; Custom ID / Custom classes; Icon type (Font Awesome / image / SVG / none); icon fields; Content Area (richtext); Content style; Buttons repeater (text, link, style, size, optional icon per row); Buttons layout (Inline / Stacked); Module Inner: Background Video when Style → Module Inner Background Options = Video.

Style tab: Module Settings — Module Outer Spacing, Max Module Outer Width, Module Inner Spacing, Max Module Inner Width, Module Height groups (XL/LG/MD/SM). Module background — Module Outer fields first (option, images, color, gradient, divider) with plain choice labels like Theme Color and Custom Color, then Module Outer Border Style / Position / Weight / Color, then Module Inner Background Options with the same plain label style and the inner image/color/video controls, ending with Override Module Inner Border plus Module Inner Border Style / Weight / Color / Radius. CTA Bar Layout (desktop column weights, border style/weight/color, optional radius override). Icon Settings. Content Colors (text color, link context).

Common Tasks

• Add a second button → Content → Buttons → add row (up to 8).
• Stack buttons on mobile/desktop → Content → Buttons layout Stacked vs Inline.
• Hide the icon → Content → Icon type = No icon; message column expands.
• Widen or narrow the inner bar → Style → Module Settings → Max Module Inner Width.
• Outer band behind the bar only → Style → Module background → set Module Outer Background Options (and Max Module Outer Width in Module Settings as needed).
• Add top and bottom borders to the outer band or inner layer → Style → Module background → choose Module Outer Border Style or keep Override Module Inner Border on and set the matching inner border style, weight, color, and radius fields.

Use this document when: The user asks about page FAQs with Inline Repeater or Google Sheet, accordion FAQs, empty-state hide/message, or FAQPage schema on a page section (not the FAQ hub).

In this section: Purpose· Sources· Configuration· Common Tasks· Document Version

Purpose and When to Use

SW FAQs Basic is the current module for a visible FAQ block on a page or blog post. Prefer it for new page FAQs. Use SW FAQs Advanced HubDB for the crawlable FAQ hub at /faqs. Do not use Basic for the hub. Do not overwrite deprecated SW FAQs Simple with Basic.

Inline Repeater vs Google Sheet

• Inline Repeater (default): Edit questions and answers in the module. Best for a few page-specific FAQs.
• Google Sheet: Load from a Share link (Anyone with the link → Viewer). Columns: question, answer, tags, active, sort_order. Tag filter in the module. Optional simple HTML in answers.

Configuration Reference

Content tab: Enable Module; Headings repeater; Content Area; Output FAQPage Schema; FAQ Source; FAQ Items or Google Sheet Settings; When no FAQs (empty message or hide completely); Module Inner Background Video when Inner = Video.

Style tab: Module Settings (Outer Spacing default padding 0/25/0/25); Module Background; Content Colors; FAQ Layout Settings including Accordion FAQs and spacing. For Sheet CLS, optionally set Module Height minimum after measuring a published instance.

Common Tasks

• Add FAQs in HubSpot: FAQ Source = Inline Repeater; replace sample FAQ Items.
• Use a spreadsheet: FAQ Source = Google Sheet; copy the starter Sheet; paste your Share link; delete sample rows before go-live.
• Accordion: Style → FAQ Layout Settings → Accordion FAQs On.
• Hide when empty: When no FAQs → Hide module completely.

SW FAQs Simple

Module Documentation: Download Here — Download SW FAQs Simple — AI Agent Reference (Text)

Module name: SW FAQs Simple (deprecated)
Use this document when: The user asks about existing SW FAQs Simple instances (HubDB + Inline Repeater). For new page FAQs use SW FAQs Basic.

In this section: Purpose· Content sources· Schema· Configuration· Common Tasks· Document Version

Purpose and When to Use

Deprecated for new content. Prefer SW FAQs Basic for new page FAQs and SW FAQs Advanced HubDB for the FAQ hub. Existing pages may keep SW FAQs Simple (HubDB or Inline Repeater). Do not overwrite Simple with Basic.

SW FAQs Simple creates a visible FAQ section for pages and blog posts. It can output optional FAQPage JSON-LD schema from the same visible questions and answers.

Do not use QAPage schema for this module. QAPage is for pages where users submit answers to one question.

Inline repeater vs HubDB

• Inline Repeater: Best for simple portals or one-off FAQ sections. Editors add each Question and Answer in the module.
• HubDB: Best when FAQ rows should be reusable or centrally maintained. Rows can match the current page path or a shared group key.

FAQPage schema

Turn on Output FAQPage Schema only when the same FAQ questions and answers are visible in this module. The module uses each visible Question as the schema Question.name and each visible Answer as acceptedAnswer.text. When Section heading is set, the JSON-LD also includes FAQPage.name from that heading (matches the visible H2).

Configuration Reference

Content tab: Enable Module; Custom ID / Custom Classes; Section Heading; Intro Content; Output FAQPage Schema; FAQ Source; FAQ Items when source = Inline Repeater; HubDB Settings when source = HubDB; Module Inner: Background Video when the inner background is Video.

HubDB Settings: HubDB Table ID; Association Mode; Group Key; Page Paths Format. Page paths should be root-relative and pipe-separated when multiple paths share a row set.

Style tab: Module Settings controls outer spacing/width and inner spacing/width. Module Background Settings controls Module Outer background and border position, then Module Inner background, full border, and radius. Content Colors controls FAQ text/link contrast. FAQ Layout Settings controls spacing for the heading, intro, and rows.

Common Tasks

• Add FAQs directly: Set FAQ Source = Inline Repeater and add rows under FAQ Items.
• Use HubDB: Set FAQ Source = HubDB, confirm the table ID, and choose page-path or group-key matching.
• Reuse FAQ rows: Use Association Mode = Group Key and match the module group key to HubDB rows.
• Related posts output: In HubDB mode, related post links now display with a dot separator (·) between titles.
• Change panel background or border: Use Style → Module Background Settings → Module Inner.
• Add a top-only outer border: Set Module Outer Border Style, then Module Outer Border Position = Top Border Only.

SW FAQs Advanced HubDB powers the Smithworks FAQ hub from HubDB. Use it on a hub index page and on category pages—not for a single FAQ block on a blog post (use SW FAQs Basic there; legacy instances may still use deprecated SW FAQs Simple).

Marketer and AI grounding for module FAQs: smithworks.marketing/faqs (HubDB table faqs). New or updated module FAQ content goes in HubDB, not in SW Module FAQs.html.

HubDB: one table, two modules

SW FAQs Simple uses a subset of columns (name, question, answer, plus page_paths or group_key). SW FAQs Advanced HubDB needs the full hub contract: category, category_order, sort_order, long_answer, subtopic (comma-separated topic tags), optional related_posts_urls and page_paths. Rows without category do not appear on the hub.

Theme dependencies (mandatory)

Paginated category URLs need sw-partials/sw-faq-pagination-canonical.html included from templates/header.html before HubSpot’s standard_header_includes output (same placement as other head partials). Without this, HubSpot may treat ?page=2+ as duplicates of page 1. See module header THEME DEPENDENCIES and docs/PROCESS-FAQ-HUB-THEME-SETUP.md.

Configuration Reference

Content tab: Headings repeater (display size, color, tablet/mobile align and display-size overrides, padding); Content Area + Content style (Default, Large balanced/full-width, Small, Blockquote); Hub Page Mode (index vs category); HubDB Category Name; Hub Navigation (base path, category link style path vs query); Output FAQPage Schema; Answer Display Mode; related posts and appears-in-blog toggles; Topic Tags; FAQ Hub Search and Pagination (fuzzy search, optional Ask AI ChatGPT helper); HubDB Settings (table ID). Custom ID and Custom Classes are side by side.

Style tab: Module Settings, Module Background Settings (Outer/Inner), Content Colors—same shell pattern as SW FAQs Basic / Simple.

Common Tasks

• Answer a module FAQ question: Start at /faqs or search the hub; use this section for field paths.
• Add or edit module FAQs: Update HubDB faqs rows (not SW Module FAQs.html). Refresh snapshot CSV per process doc after publish.
• FAQ on one blog post: Use SW FAQs Basic (Inline Repeater or Google Sheet). Legacy: SW FAQs Simple + HubDB row with page_paths = that post URL.
• New hub category: Add HubDB rows with category + category_order; create CMS page at /faqs/{slug} with module in FAQ Category Page mode.
• Fix paginated SEO: Confirm canonical partial + header merge on the theme.

HubSpot video & file uploads (plans and limits)

This module offers video options that may use HubSpot Video, Video from files (File Manager), and/or external embed (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.), depending on the field.

• HubSpot Video (the built-in videoplayer / Marketing video library): Typically requires HubSpot subscription features for hosted video. If the option is missing or blocked, confirm your hub type and tier in HubSpot’s product and pricing documentation.
• Video from files: Uploads use the File Manager. On Content Hub Free and similar tiers, HubSpot commonly applies a per-file upload size limit (often 20 MB) and account storage limits. Compress the file, reduce resolution, or use External embed if upload fails or the file exceeds the limit.
• External embed: Paste a supported URL (for example YouTube or Vimeo). This path usually does not require HubSpot’s hosted video product.

Purpose and When to Use

SW Form is a standalone form module. Use it when you need only a form (with optional headings above). If the form needs to sit beside an image, video, or content block (two-column layout), use SW Pillar Section with Secondary Column = Form instead.

SW Form vs SW Pillar Section (Form column)

Scenario	Use This Module	Why
Form only; no image or content beside it	SW Form	Standalone form. Headings above form; full form styling (Form Box Settings).
Form beside image, video, or content (two columns)	SW Pillar Section	Set Secondary Column = Form. Form sits in one column; image/video/content in the other.
Form with more design elements (bullets, rich text, CTAs beside it)	SW Pillar Section	Pillar Section supports headings, bullets, Content Area, CTAs in the primary column with Form in the secondary column.

Rule of thumb: SW Form = Form is the main focus; nothing beside it. SW Pillar Section (Form column) = Form needs to share the layout with image, video, or content (side-by-side).

Resubmit cooldown

Optional Content → Resubmit cooldown uses the visitor’s browser localStorage to show a wait message after a successful submit so they cannot immediately submit again (minutes you set; the feature defaults to off). It runs only when the selected HubSpot form’s On submission action is Show thank you message (inline confirmation in the page). If the form redirects (another page, URL, meeting, payment, etc.), the visitor navigates away before that inline state appears in the DOM—redirect flows are intentionally not supported for this feature; use inline thank you if you need cooldown.

Separate cooldown per module instance (default on for new instances) keeps keys distinct per SW Form module on the page. Content style controls typography for the wait message (same choices as SW Image & Text).

Related Modules

Module	Relationship
SW Pillar Section	Use when form needs to sit beside image, video, or content (two-column layout). Set Secondary Column = Form.
SW Button	CTA buttons; different purpose.

Configuration Reference

Content tab: Custom ID, Custom Classes; Headings (above form) (repeater: Heading, Size, Display Size, Color, Align; Override Text Alignment/Display Size for Tablet/Mobile); Form (HubSpot form picker); Content below form (optional richtext, empty by default) + Content style; Resubmit cooldown (optional: enable, minutes, message, content style, per-instance; see Resubmit cooldown); Module Background Video (when Style → Module Outer Background Options or Module Inner Background Options = Video).

Style tab: Module Settings (Module Outer Spacing default empty, Max Module Outer Width, Module Inner Spacing, Max Module Inner Width Default ~1800, XL/LG/MD/SM Module Height cascade); Module Background Settings (Module Outer Background Options for the full-bleed band; Module Inner Background Options default None for the max-width column; outer/inner borders); Content Colors and Content Area Settings (for headings, cooldown message, and content below form); Form Box Settings (Background Color, Override Border Radius, Border, Override Shadow, Hide Field Labels, Field Styling, Button Styling, Form Box Padding — content below form matches Form Box horizontal padding).

Outer vs Inner: Put section band color/image/video on Module Outer. Keep Max Module Inner Width on Default. Put inset padding on Module Inner Spacing. Leave Inner Background as None unless you want a nested fill. Upgraded pages map old Spacing → Inner Spacing and old Background → Outer.

Common Tasks (“How Do I…”)

• Change headings above form → Content → Headings (above form).
• Change form → Content → Form (HubSpot form picker).
• Add legal or supporting copy under the form → Content → Content below form.

• HubSpot Video: Often requires subscription-tier video hosting; confirm in HubSpot product docs if the control is missing.
• Video from Files: Many hubs enforce a per-file size limit (often ~20 MB) and storage caps—compress or embed externally if uploads fail.
• External embed: YouTube/Vimeo-style URLs when supported.

In this section: Default state· Purpose and When to Use· Use Cases· SW Feature List vs SW Cards Products· Related Modules· Configuration Reference· Common Tasks· Mobile & horizontal scroll· Document Version

Purpose and When to Use

SW Feature List is a single comparison table: plans or tiers as columns (from Plan columns), features and section headings as rows (from Rows). Each feature row has one cell per plan in the same order as the plan headers. Use it when marketers need a classic matrix (included / not included, short text, icons, or small CTA buttons per cell). Use SW Cards Products when each plan should be a card with its own bullet list and optional dual pricing toggle; use SW Cards for rich-text story cards and optional one CTA row under all cards.

Use Cases

Software tiers with check/cross grids; membership levels with “Unlimited” vs numeric limits in Custom text cells; course packages with category bands (e.g. Support, Access); enterprise vs SMB rows with Button(s) only on specific plans; icon-backed benefits when checks are too generic. Skip this module for blog-driven columns, long prose per column, or accordion/tab layouts—use blog modules, SW Cards, or SW Magic Accordion as appropriate.

SW Feature List vs SW Cards Products

Topic	SW Feature List	SW Cards Products
Layout model	One HTML table (rows × plan columns)	Card repeater (grid or slider)
Plan content	Header row titles/subtitles + per-row cells	Per-card headings, bullet repeater, optional Price 1/2, card CTAs
Best when	Every row is the same question across plans (feature parity)	Each plan reads as its own card with a bullet story
Pricing toggle	Not built-in (use text cells or external layout)	Optional Price Field Toggle pill across cards

Related Modules

Module	Relationship
SW Cards Products	Card-based plan bullets; see comparison above.
SW Cards	Rich text per card; section-level CTAs; not a comparison matrix.
SW Pillar Section	Side-by-side sections; not a multi-column feature grid.
SW Button	Standalone button row; Feature List embeds buttons inside table cells via Display = Button(s).

Configuration Reference

Content tab: Enable Module, Custom ID, Custom Classes; optional Headings repeater above the table; Plan columns (Plan title, Plan subtitle); Rows (Row type, Label, Label indent on feature rows, Cells (per plan) with Display, icons, custom text, Buttons repeater, cell color overrides); Module Background Video.

Style tab: Module Settings (spacing, max width, XL/LG/MD/SM heights); Module Background Settings; Table Box Settings (spacing, border radius, border + colors, background none/theme/custom/gradient/image around the table only); Comparison Table Colors (corner, plan header/body, category row, feature label: backgrounds; Row borders for plan title row, category & feature rows, and last row; when corner/category/feature label use None (transparent) and Table Box uses Theme or Custom solid color, scoped CSS reuses that fill for sticky readability); Comparison Table Text (Font colors; Override plan title fonts / subtitle / plan cells / category heading / feature row — full font row when on, theme body inherit when off; Feature Row Indent always available); Row Spacing (equal top/bottom padding on cells); Headings accent line (optional rule; line Width in px, max width %). At the bottom of Style (after Headings accent line): Mobile scroll once (Off | One-time peek | One-time full scroll) and Mobile scroll edge fade (right-edge gradient when the table overflows on small screens; works with any scroll-once mode).

Common Tasks (“How Do I…”)

• Add a plan → Content → Plan columns → add item; add a matching cell to each feature row in Cells (per plan).
• Section heading across the table → Content → Rows → Row type = Category heading → set Label.
• Checks and crosses → open the cell → Display = Included (check) or Not included (cross).
• CTAs in one tier only → that plan’s cell → Display = Button(s) → configure the Buttons repeater (alignment follows SW Button patterns).
• Table backgrounds → Style → Comparison Table Colors → pick the region (header, body, category, feature label, corner).
• Theme body typography for titles, labels, and cells → Style → Comparison Table Text → Font colors = theme or custom; leave Override … fonts off (default on new modules).
• Custom fonts for one row type → turn the matching Override … fonts on and edit the font row that appears.
• Plan cell color/size only → turn Override plan cell fonts on, then set Plan Cell Color / Plan Cell Font Size.
• Horizontal lines → Style → Comparison Table Colors → Row borders (0 weight or 0% opacity = no line).
• Taller rows → Style → Row Spacing.
• Sticky labels look wrong on a phone → use a solid Table Box (theme/custom) or set corner/category/feature label backgrounds explicitly; preview at mobile width (see below).
• Help visitors notice horizontal scroll → Style (bottom) → Mobile scroll once (peek or full scroll) and/or Mobile scroll edge fade; respects reduced motion and skips after the visitor scrolls.

Mobile & horizontal scroll

On narrow viewports, the table lives in a horizontally scrollable region (overflow-x) while the first column stays sticky: plan header corner, category heading labels, and feature row labels. Category rows use the same column grid as feature rows so headings do not scroll away. If sticky cells are transparent and the Table Box is only a gradient or image (or None), set Comparison Table Colors for those regions to Theme or Custom so icons in scrolling cells do not show through—match the module background if needed. After styling, resize the preview or check a real device.

Optional discoverability: At the bottom of the Style tab (after Headings accent line), Mobile scroll once can play a one-time horizontal nudge—peek or scroll to the last plan column—and Mobile scroll edge fade can show a right-edge gradient when content overflows. Front-end logic waits for load + 500ms, settles layout briefly, and skips when the table region is off-screen; prefers-reduced-motion skips motion; sessionStorage (sw-fl-scroll-once-…) limits repeats per instance. Legacy instances: HubL still reads old mobile_scroll_hint_mode (and nested mobile comparison table) until editors re-save.

Purpose and When to Use

SW Cards is a generic card module for non-blog content. It displays a grid or slider of cards, each with optional icon/image/SVG/video, rich text, and buttons. The intro block (headings, optional description, heading buttons) sits in an always-on heading panel you can style under Style → Heading Panel Settings. Use for feature cards, service cards, team cards, product cards, any non-blog card layout. Per card, you can optionally override background and rich-text color (and link treatment) via Override card background and rich text in the card repeater (Color-only; no per-card Effect); otherwise defaults come from Style → Cards Layout (card background / module-wide Effect) and Content Colors (card text/link vs Content Area). Style → Cards Layout → Icon Settings adds an optional colored band behind the media row (icon, image, SVG, or video) plus padding inside that band; see Media band (icon area). Module Outer/Inner can use the same Animated, Aurora, and Effect surface family as SW Hero. For structured bullet lists per card and optional dual pricing (with or without the visitor Price Field Toggle), use SW Cards Products instead.

Use Cases

Feature overview (icon + heading + description + CTA per card); service offerings; team members; product highlights with rich text bodies; section-level CTA row below all cards. When to choose another: Blog listing or related posts → SW Blog Cards or SW Blog Related Posts. Plan/feature bullets + optional Price 1/2 per card → SW Cards Products. Image beside content with headings/bullets/CTAs, alternating → SW Pillar Section. Accordion with image per panel → SW Pillar Accordion.

Related Modules

Module	Relationship
SW Cards Products	Same card-grid idea; bullet repeater + optional pricing per card; no module-level description or section CTA strip. See SW Cards vs SW Cards Products.
SW Blog Cards	Blog posts only. For blog listing pages.
SW Blog Related Posts	Blog posts only. For related posts on blog post pages.
SW Pillar Section	Image/video beside content with headings, bullets, CTAs. One section per instance; add multiple for alternating.
SW Pillar Accordion	Accordion panels with image that changes per panel.

Heading panel and heading buttons

Where: Style → Heading Panel Settings. The module always wraps the intro block (Headings repeater, optional Content Area, optional buttons) in a neutral panel. Choose None, Theme, Custom, Gradient, Image, or Effect (Glass / Grain / Pattern). Effect uses Rim (px) default 0 for full-panel glass; raise rim when you want a solid face with a frosted frame. Pattern Custom SVG lives in Content → Heading Panel Pattern — Custom SVG Code.

Heading buttons: Content → Heading Button Repeater (preferred for multiple buttons) with Button Alignment and Space Above Buttons (px) (default 15). Legacy single Heading Side Button remains. Card gutter applies to the heading section wrapper, not inside the panel—use panel Spacing for inner padding.

Content Colors: Content Area Text Color tints the description only; Card Text Color defaults card body rich text and does not inherit the content-area color.

Module backgrounds and card Effect

Module Outer: Style → Module Background Settings → Module Outer Background Options supports Theme/Custom/Gradient/Image/Divided-Split, Animated (Roll or Ripple), Outer Aurora, and Video. Animated hides Outer Aurora overlay. On the published page (from 2026.08.21.22.34), Animated stays quiet then fades the motion in about 200ms; the Design Manager editor still shows sliced ribbons. There is no separate wave image file.

Module Inner: Module Inner Background Options supports Color/Custom/Gradient/Image, Effect (glass/grain/pattern), Inner Aurora, and Video. Inner custom border controls hide when Inner = Effect.

All cards (module-wide): Style → Cards Layout → Card colors → Card background option None | Color | Effect (default Color). Effect rim defaults to 25px on cards (frosted frame + face); set rim to 0 for full-card glass. Per-card override remains Color-only.

Media band (icon, image, SVG, video)

Where: Style → Cards Layout → Icon Settings. Media section background sets a background-color behind each card’s media row (Font Awesome icon, uploaded image, SVG code, or video wrapper). Default is white at 0% opacity (off) so existing pages stay unchanged until you raise opacity or pick a color. Transparent PNG/SVG artwork shows the tint through the pixels.

Media section padding (same group) is a HubSpot spacing control; the module applies padding only (not margin) on the media wrappers, default 0 on all sides.

Per card: Content → Cards → open the card → Override media section background + Media section background when you need one card’s band to differ from Style.

Icon type “No Icon”: If the resolved color has opacity greater than zero, a short decorative band still renders (minimum height follows Style Icon width / Icon height).

Common Tasks

• Add or edit a card → Content → Cards → Add item or edit existing.
• Change card icon/image/video → Content → Cards → open item → Icon type, then configure Icon, Image, SVG, or Video fields.
• Change icon or SVG size (per card) → Content → Cards → open item → Icon width, Icon height (visible when Icon type = Icon or SVG). Default 75px; set exact pixels for precise control.
• Use slider → Style → Cards Layout → Use slider when overflow = ON. Ensure cards exceed Cards per row (XL).
• Change cards per row → Style → Cards Layout → Cards per row (XL, Tablet, Mobile).
• Change full-bleed section background → Style → Module Background Settings → Module Outer Background Options.
• Change max-width column background only → Style → Module Background Settings → Module Inner Background Options (default None).
• Change padding inside the content column → Style → Module Settings → Module Inner Spacing. Use Module Outer Spacing for padding outside the full-bleed band.
• Default text and link colors for all cards → Style → Content Colors → Card Text Color, Card Link Colors. Use Content Area Text Color for the description between heading and cards.
• Style the heading intro as a panel → Style → Heading Panel Settings.
• Add heading buttons below the intro → Content → Heading Button Repeater; set Space Above Buttons (px) (default 15).
• Frost all cards → Style → Cards Layout → Card colors → Card background option = Effect.
• Section Animated or Aurora background → Style → Module Outer Background Options. If you saw a static wave flash after a hard refresh, update to 2026.08.21.22.34+ and hard-refresh again.
• CSS text next to heading or footer buttons → After 2026.08.21.22.34 Override Button Margins rules are CSS only. Hard-refresh / republish if leftover copy remains.
• Default card background for all cards → Style → Cards Layout → Card colors.
• Override one card’s background or rich-text color → Content → Cards → open card → Override card background and rich text ON → Card background, Card text (rich text), Link Colors as needed. Card headings still use their repeater color fields.
• Tint or pad the icon/image/video row → Style → Cards Layout → Icon Settings → Media section background / Media section padding; per-card override → Content → Cards → Override media section background.

Slider Clipping (Troubleshooting)

Clipping can occur on smaller screens when the slider shows too many cards per row for the viewport. Icons or card content may appear cut off at the left or right edges.

Fix: Style → Cards Layout → Cards Settings. Reduce Cards per row (Tablet) and/or Cards per row (Mobile) for the affected breakpoints. For phones, set Mobile to 1 (one card per row). Breakpoints: XL (1200px+), Desktop (992px–1199px), Tablet (768px–991px), Mobile (≤767px).

Purpose and When to Use

SW Cards Products is a non-blog card grid or slider. Each card can include optional media (icon, image, SVG, or video via Show card media), a headings repeater, a bullet / feature list repeater, optional Price 1 and Price 2, and card-level CTAs. Module-level Price Field Toggle adds a visitor pill to switch between Price 1 and Price 2 on cards that have Show Price on. You do not need Price Field Toggle for simple layouts: leave it off and use bullets only (or pricing without the pill)—good for straightforward bulleted-list cards.

SW Cards vs SW Cards Products

Topic	SW Cards	SW Cards Products
Main body content	Rich text per card	Bullet repeater per card (structured feature lines)
Pricing	No built-in price fields	Optional Show Price, Price 1 / Price 2, optional Price Field Toggle
Below the card row	Optional module Description and CTA Buttons	No section-level CTA strip—CTAs are on each card
Per-card background / body text	Optional Override card background and rich text (rich text + links; headings keep their own colors)	Optional Override card background and feature list text (feature list body; headings keep their own colors)
Choose this module when	Team/services copy in paragraphs, varied richtext, or you need a single CTA row under all cards	Plan or product bullet lists, optional dual price (with or without the pill toggle), or bullet-only cards

Use Cases

Pricing tiers; product packages with checkmark-style bullets; feature lists per card. Simple bullet cards: leave Show Price off and Price Field Toggle off. When to choose another: A true row×column comparison table (same features as rows, plans as columns) → SW Feature List. Blog-driven cards → SW Blog Cards or SW Blog Related Posts. Single side-by-side section → SW Pillar Section. Rich text–heavy cards + section CTAs → SW Cards.

Related Modules

Module	Relationship
SW Cards	Richtext per card; section-level description and CTAs. See comparison above.
SW Feature List	Single comparison table (rows × plan columns). Use when the layout is a matrix, not independent cards—see SW Feature List vs SW Cards Products.
SW Blog Cards	Blog posts only.
SW Blog Related Posts	Related posts on post pages only.
SW Pillar Section	One side-by-side section, not a multi-card grid.

Common Tasks

• Edit bullets on a card → Content → Cards → open card → bullet items repeater.
• Bullet-only cards (no pricing) → Leave Show Price off; leave Price Field Toggle off.
• Monthly / yearly style switch → Content → Price Field Toggle on; set Price 1 Label / Price 2 Label; per card Show Price on and amounts filled.
• List bullet style (all cards) → Style → Feature list (bullets).
• Slider / cards per row → Style → Cards Settings and Slider settings (when cards exceed cards per row).
• Link contrast (bullets, module wrapper, per-card override) → Style → Content Colors (Link Colors for card body + module wrapper); Content → card → override group for per-card Link Colors on feature-list links. Options: Theme Defaults (auto), On Dark Background, On Light Background.

Slider Clipping (Troubleshooting)

Same pattern as SW Cards: too many cards per row on a small viewport can clip content. Reduce Cards per row under Style → Cards Settings for Tablet and/or Mobile.

HubSpot video & file uploads (plans and limits)

This module offers video options that may use HubSpot Video, Video from files (File Manager), and/or external embed (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.), depending on the field.

• HubSpot Video (the built-in videoplayer / Marketing video library): Typically requires HubSpot subscription features for hosted video. If the option is missing or blocked, confirm your hub type and tier in HubSpot’s product and pricing documentation.
• Video from files: Uploads use the File Manager. On Content Hub Free and similar tiers, HubSpot commonly applies a per-file upload size limit (often 20 MB) and account storage limits. Compress the file, reduce resolution, or use External embed if upload fails or the file exceeds the limit.
• External embed: Paste a supported URL (for example YouTube or Vimeo). This path usually does not require HubSpot’s hosted video product.

HubSpot’s limits and SKUs change over time—verify current rules for your portal in HubSpot’s help center.

Purpose and When to Use

The SW Button module provides:

• One or more CTA buttons in a repeater. Each button has text, link, style (Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, White, Black, Dark, Light, Gradient One, Gradient Two, Simple Link), and optional icon (Font Awesome) with position (left/right) and purpose (decorative/semantic).
• Button alignment: Desktop alignment (left, center, right) plus optional Override Tablet Alignment and Override Mobile Alignment for breakpoint-specific alignment.
• Module styling: Module Settings (spacing, max width, height, vertical alignment), Module Background Settings (Theme Color, Custom Color, Gradient, Image, or Video), and Module Background Video (Content tab, when Background Option = Video). Per Module Settings and Background Standards below.

Use it for standalone CTA sections, button groups, or call-to-action blocks that need flexible button count and styling.

Module Structure (What You See on the Page)

1. Module wrapper — A block with optional background (image, color, custom, or gradient) and spacing.
2. Button area — One or more buttons in a row, aligned left, center, or right. Buttons wrap on smaller screens. Alignment can differ on tablet (768–991px) and mobile (≤767px) when overrides are enabled.

Breakpoints: Desktop ≥992px; Tablet 768–991px; Mobile ≤767px.

Configuration Reference

The module has Content and Style tabs. Group and field names match the HubSpot editor.

Content Tab

• Custom ID / Custom Classes — Optional.
• Buttons (repeater) — Add one or more buttons. Per button: Button Text, Button Link, Button Style, Button Size (Small/Default/Large) — hidden when Button Style = Simple Link, Add Icon, Icon (Icon picker, Position, Purpose).
• Button Alignment — Left, Center, or Right. Default: Center.
• Override Tablet Alignment / Tablet Button Alignment — Breakpoint 768–991px (MD).
• Override Mobile Alignment / Mobile Button Alignment — Breakpoint ≤767px (SM).
• Module Background Video — Always last. Visible when Style → Module Background Settings → Background Option = Video. Video Type (HubSpot Video, file, embed), HubSpot Video, Video File, External Embed, Poster image. Overlay, base color, and playback toggles (Autoplay, Loop, Muted, Plays Inline) are in Style tab when Video. See Module Settings and Background Standards below.

Style Tab

• Module Settings (first) — Spacing, Max Module Width, module height groups (XL + Desktop/Tablet/Mobile overrides), vertical alignment. Minimum Height choices: Default (content height), Custom Height, Full Screen.
• Module Background Settings (second) — Background Option (Theme Color, Custom Color, Gradient, Image, Video). When Image: responsive image groups. When Color/Custom/Gradient: color fields. When Video: overlay, base color, and playback toggles (Autoplay, Loop, Muted, Plays Inline) here; source and poster in Content tab.
• Content Colors — Link Colors for Simple Link buttons only (Theme Defaults (auto), On Dark Background, On Light Background). Does not change Primary/Secondary/etc. button styles.

Common Tasks (“How Do I…”)

• Add or edit buttons → Content → Buttons (repeater). Set Button Text, Button Link, Button Style, Button Size (Small/Default/Large). Use Add Icon and Icon for an icon per button.
• Change button alignment (desktop) → Content → Button Alignment.
• Change button alignment on tablet/mobile → Content → Override Tablet/Mobile Alignment (ON) → Tablet/Mobile Button Alignment.
• Add an icon to a button → Content → Buttons → Add Icon (ON) → Icon group.
• Change button style → Content → Buttons → Button Style per item.
• Change module background → Style → Module Background Settings → Background Option.
• Change spacing → Style → Module Settings → Spacing.
• Set module to content height → Style → Module Settings → Minimum Height = Default.
• Add video background → Style → Module Background Settings → Background Option = Video (overlay, base, playback toggles here), then Content → Module Background Video (source, poster).
• Custom ID or CSS class → Content → Custom ID, Custom Classes.

When to Use Custom CSS

Use custom CSS when the change cannot be done via Content or Style fields (e.g. button font size, gap between buttons, hover effects). Add overrides in your theme’s custom CSS file—for Sprocket Rocket themes, usually custom-styles.css. Use the CSS classes in the Appendix below.

Appendix: CSS Classes and Selectors

Element	Class(es)	Notes
Module wrapper	.sw-button	Plus custom_classes if set; id = Custom ID if set. Modifiers: .sw-button--has-bg-image, .sw-button--has-bg-video.
Button container	.sw-button__cta	Flex container. Uses --left, --center, --right for alignment.
Button wrapper	.btn-wrapper, .btn-{style}-wrapper	Wraps each standard button.
Simple link wrapper	.simple-link-wrapper	When Button Style = Simple Link.
Button link	.btn, .cta-button, .simple-link

Data attributes: data-md-align, data-sm-align (tablet/mobile alignment when overrides ON). Breakpoints: Desktop ≥992px; Tablet 768–991px; Mobile ≤767px.

Purpose and When to Use

Intent: The SW Image & Text module is a simple image and/or text module aligned with the Sprocket Rocket Theme. It is intentionally minimal—no heading repeaters, no button repeaters, no card or list repeaters. Its purpose is to give users an image and/or rich-text block that matches the theme’s styling and behavior instead of using generic HubSpot image or rich-text elements. Conceptually it is similar to SW Button: a theme-aligned replacement for a core HubSpot element, not a full section builder.

The module provides:

• 4-tier responsive image — XL Image (1200px+), with optional Override Desktop/Desktop Image (992–1199px), Override Tablet/Tablet Image (768–991px), Override Mobile/Mobile Image (≤767px). Placeholder in editor via XL default; use Remove on the image to show no image.
• Image alignment per breakpoint — Inherit, Left, Center, or Right for each level. Default: Center.
• Content Area — Single rich-text field. Leave blank to hide the text block.
• Content style — Typography: Default, Large (text balanced), Large (text full-width), Small, Blockquote. Below Content Area.
• Module Settings and Module Background Settings — Spacing, max width, module height (Default/Custom/Full Screen), vertical alignment; background (Theme Color, Custom Color, Gradient, Image, or Video). When Video: overlay, base color, and playback toggles in Style; source and poster in Content → Module Background Video. See Module Settings and Background Standards.

Use it for simple image blocks, image + caption, standalone text blocks (image removed), or theme-aligned image/rich-text where you do not need headings, buttons, or repeaters.

Use Cases

Capabilities: Simple image + rich text; responsive image; alignment per breakpoint. No headings, bullets, or CTAs.

Use for: Simple image+caption; image+text block; standalone text (image removed); theme-aligned image/rich-text where you don’t need headings, bullets, or CTAs.

When to choose SW Pillar Section instead: When you need side-by-side columns, rich-text bullets as a first-class layout concern, many distinct content columns, or alternating image left/right across multiple sections. SW Pillar Section has those; SW Image & Text does not. SW Text and Media adds optional headings and optional button repeaters but remains stacked only—still use Pillar for two-column layouts and pillar-style bullet treatments.

Related Modules

Module	Relationship
SW Text and Media	Stacked layout superset: foreground image or video (or none), optional headings repeater, same general styling patterns. Prefer for new stacked sections.
SW Pillar Section	Image/video beside content with headings, bullets, CTAs. Add multiple instances for alternating layout.
SW Pillar Accordion	Accordion with image per panel. Different layout.

Module Structure (What You See on the Page)

1. Background (optional) — Image, color, gradient, or video from Module Background Settings.
2. Inner container — Constrained by Max Module Width. Contains:
3. Image (optional) — Responsive picture with one image per breakpoint (or none if user clicked Remove on XL Image). Alignment can vary by breakpoint.
4. Content Area (optional) — Rich text below the image. If empty, the text block does not render.

Breakpoints: XL 1200px+; Desktop (LG) 992–1199px; Tablet (MD) 768–991px; Mobile (SM) ≤767px.

Configuration Reference

The module has Content and Style tabs. Group and field names match the HubSpot editor.

Content Tab

• Custom ID / Custom Classes — Optional.
• Image (group, collapsed by default) — 4-tier responsive images and alignment. Expand to access XL Image and per-breakpoint overrides.
• XL Image — Content → Image (group) → XL Image. Primary image for 1200px+ (XL). Default placeholder in editor. To show no image: click Remove.
• Image alignment (XL) — Inherit, Left, Center, Right. Default: Center.
• Override Desktop Image (toggle) — When on: Desktop Image, Image alignment (Desktop). Same pattern for Override Tablet Image / Tablet Image / Image alignment (Tablet) and Override Mobile Image / Mobile Image / Image alignment (Mobile).
• Content Area — Rich text. Leave blank to hide the text block. Default: Large (text balanced). Text alignment per breakpoint in Style → Content Area Settings.
• Content style — Typography: Default, Large (text balanced), Large (text full-width), Small, Blockquote. Default: Large (text balanced). Below Content Area.
• Module Background Video — Visible when Style → Module Background Settings → Background Option = Video. Video Type (HubSpot Video, file, embed), poster. Overlay, base color, and playback toggles (Autoplay, Loop, Muted, Plays Inline) are in Style tab when Video. See Module Settings and Background Standards.

Style Tab

• Module Settings (first) — Spacing, Max Module Width, XL Module Height (Minimum Height: Default, Custom Height, Full Screen) with Override Desktop/Tablet/Mobile Height and Vertical Alignment per breakpoint. When no padding is set, no default 25px.
• Module Background Settings (second) — Background Option (Theme Color, Custom Color, Gradient, Image, Video). When Image: responsive image groups. When Video: overlay, base color, playback toggles (Autoplay, Loop, Muted, Plays Inline) here; source and poster in Content tab.
• Content Colors (third) — Text Color and Link Colors for Content Area. Link Colors: Theme Defaults (auto), On Dark Background, On Light Background. Defaults: Theme defaults. Use when background is Custom Color or theme cascade does not apply.
• Content Area Settings (fourth) — Text Alignment (Desktop) Left/Center/Right; Override Text Alignment (Tablet/Mobile) for per-breakpoint alignment. Overrides inline text-align in rich text.

Common Tasks (“How Do I…”)

• Change or replace the main image → Content → Image (group) → XL Image. Use Replace or Remove. Turn on Override Desktop/Tablet/Mobile Image to set different images per breakpoint.
• Show no image (text only) → Content → Image (group) → XL Image → click Remove.
• Use a different image on mobile/tablet/desktop → Content → Image (group) → turn on Override Mobile/Tablet/Desktop Image → set Mobile/Tablet/Desktop Image.
• Change image alignment → Content → Image (group) → Image alignment (XL) and, if overrides on, Image alignment (Desktop/Tablet/Mobile). Inherit, Left, Center, Right.
• Change the text below the image → Content → Content Area. Leave blank to hide.
• Change content typography (lead, small, blockquote) → Content → Content style. Default, Large (text balanced), Large (text full-width), Small, Blockquote.
• Change text alignment (left/center/right) → Style → Content Area Settings → Text Alignment (Desktop). Use Override Text Alignment (Tablet/Mobile) for per-breakpoint alignment.
• Change module background → Style → Module Background Settings → Background Option. For Video: set Option = Video, then Style → overlay, base, playback toggles; Content → Module Background Video for source and poster.
• Change spacing or max width → Style → Module Settings → Spacing; Max Module Width. When no padding set, no default 25px.
• Set module height → Style → Module Settings → XL Module Height → Minimum Height (Default, Custom Height, Full Screen). Use overrides for per-breakpoint height.
• Custom ID or CSS class → Content → Custom ID, Custom Classes.

When to Use Custom CSS

Use custom CSS when the change cannot be done via Content or Style fields (e.g. image border radius, typography for Content Area, spacing between image and text). Add overrides in your theme’s custom-styles.css (Sprocket Rocket themes). Use the CSS classes in the Appendix below; use Custom ID or Custom Classes for instance-specific overrides.

Appendix: CSS Classes and Selectors

Element	Class(es)	Notes
Module wrapper	.sw-image-text	Plus custom_classes if set; id = Custom ID if set. Modifiers: .sw-image-text--has-bg-image, .sw-image-text--has-bg-video.
Inner (max-width)	.sw-image-text__inner	Constrained by Max Module Width.
Container	.sw-image-text__container	Flex column; image then text.

SW Text and Media

Module Documentation: Download Here — Download SW Text and Media — AI Agent Reference (Text)

Module name: SW Text and Media
Use this document when: The user asks about stacked image/video + text, Media mode, foreground embeds, the Headings repeater, or how this module differs from SW Image & Text.

In this section: Purpose· vs Image & Text· Video uploads· Related· Structure· Configuration· Common Tasks· Appendix· Document Version

Purpose and When to Use

Intent: A theme-aligned stacked section: optional State 3 headings repeater first; then optional foreground image, foreground video (HubSpot / file / embed), or no foreground media; then Content Area rich text; then optional Buttons repeater below the copy. Shares Module Settings, Module Background Settings, Content Colors, Content Area Settings, and Media Border (foreground frame) with the same patterns as SW Image & Text.

• Media mode (Content): Image — 4-tier responsive picture + alignment (same family as Image & Text); image field width caps max display width. Video — foreground player in the stack (not only a full-module background); External embed respects Autoplay/Muted and uses embed width/height for on-page size when both are set. None — headings + text only.
• Headings: New instances open with one sample row you can edit or remove; add more rows as needed.
• Buttons: Optional repeater under Content Area; new instances start with no button rows—use Button Alignment and tablet/mobile overrides like other Smithworks modules with repeater CTAs.
• Content style for the rich text block matches Image & Text (Default, Large balanced, Large full-width, Small, Blockquote).

vs SW Image & Text

Topic	SW Image & Text	SW Text and Media
Stacked layout	Yes	Yes
Foreground image	Yes	Yes (when Media mode = Image)
Foreground video (embed / HubSpot / file)	No (module background video only)	Yes (when Media mode = Video)
Optional headings repeater	No	Yes (above foreground media)
Optional buttons under copy	No	Yes (repeater; empty by default on new instances)
Recommendation	Keep on existing pages	Prefer for new content

HubSpot video & file uploads (plans and limits)

Same guidance as SW Image & Text and other SW modules: HubSpot Video, Video from files, and External embed may all appear depending on field and mode. Hosted video and File Manager uploads are tier- and limit-sensitive — compress or embed externally when uploads fail.

Related Modules

Module	Relationship
SW Image & Text	Older minimal stacked module; same baseline use case without foreground video or heading repeater.
SW Pillar Section	Side-by-side columns, bullets, CTAs, alternating bands.
SW Magic Accordion	Tabs/accordion with per-item content — not a single static stack.

Module Structure (What You See on the Page)

1. Module background (optional) from Style → Module Background Settings.
2. Headings (optional) — from Content → Headings when rows exist (above foreground media).
3. Foreground media (optional) — image, video embed/player, or skipped when Media mode = None.
4. Content Area (optional) — rich text.
5. Buttons (optional) — from Content → Buttons when you add rows; appears under the rich text.

Configuration Reference

High-level map — use the downloadable SW-Text-and-Media.txt and the module’s Master version number for maintainer detail.

• Content: Media mode; Image group (when Image); Foreground video (when Video); Headings repeater; Content Area; Content style; Buttons repeater + alignment + tablet/mobile overrides; Module Background Video when background = Video.
• Style: Module Settings (spacing defaults on new instances include comfortable wrapper padding); Module Background Settings; Content Colors; Media Border (foreground frame); Content Area Settings; Headings display options.

Common Tasks (“How Do I…”)

• YouTube above my paragraph → Content → Media mode = Video → choose embed/video type and paste URL.
• Same as old Image & Text → Media mode = Image; clear Headings if you want image-first with no titles; set Image + Content Area.
• Title over image/video and copy → Content → Headings; set Media mode as needed.
• CTAs under the paragraph → Content → Buttons → Add; set text, link, style; use Button Alignment.
• Text-only band (no media) → Media mode = None.

Appendix: CSS Classes and Selectors

Module root uses sw-text-media (see module CSS for modifiers). Foreground embeds may use sw-text-media__foreground--oembed for 16:9 clipping. Content CTAs use sw-text-media__cta with data-cta-align (and optional breakpoint attributes). Prefer Custom ID / Custom Classes for instance overrides.

SW Magic Accordion

Module Documentation: Download Here — Download SW Magic Accordion — AI Agent Reference (Text)

Module name: SW Magic Accordion
Use this document when: The user asks about the Smithworks SW Magic Accordion module—tabs vs accordion, default panel, per-item content (text, form, image), Style → Display Settings, Content Colors, CTAs (including module bottom), or roll-down / alias risk.

In this section: Default state· Purpose and When to Use· Tabbed panel height (UX)· HubSpot video & file uploads· Related Modules· Module Structure· Configuration Reference· Roll-down and alias risk· Document Version

Purpose and When to Use

SW Magic Accordion combines desktop tabs (when configured) with an accordion experience on smaller breakpoints, plus an optional default panel and Tab / Accordion Items repeater. It supports rich text, HubSpot forms, and image + content layouts with Pillar-style column order (Style → Display Settings → Image Layout Settings; per-panel overrides available).

• CTAs: Buttons repeaters on the default panel, each accordion item, and module bottom (full-width row below the tab/accordion UI so left-tab flex layouts do not trap buttons beside the rail).
• Styling: Module Settings (spacing, max width, min heights), module background and optional Content tab Module Background Video, Content Colors for panel text and links, and extensive Display Settings (tab position, top-tab scroll hints, tab chrome colors, borders, content padding, etc.).

Tabbed panel height (UX)

On desktop tabbed view, the tab content area keeps a stable height (minimum height + shared row). Shorter tabs may show empty space below the content inside that area. This is intentional so switching tabs does not cause the page layout to jump. Shrink-wrapped tabs would trade that for vertical movement on every change.

HubSpot video & file uploads (plans and limits)

Content → Module Background Video may use HubSpot Video, Video from Files, and/or External Embed. Same guidance as other SW modules: hosted video may require higher tiers; File Manager uploads often face ~20 MB per-file limits on lighter hubs—compress or embed externally when needed. Verify current HubSpot limits for your portal.

Related Modules

Module	Relationship
SW Pillar Accordion	One image column that changes with the active accordion panel.
SW Pillar Section	Non-accordion sections; image beside content.
SW Image & Text	Simple stacked image + text; no tabs/accordion.
SW Text and Media	Stacked foreground image or video (or none) + optional headings + text; no tabs/accordion.

Module Structure (What You See on the Page)

1. Module headings (optional) from Content → Headings.
2. Default panel (optional) — hero, rich text, or form; optional image + Buttons repeater.
3. Tabs or accordion — item titles; panels with content/form/image; per-item Buttons.
4. Module bottom Buttons (optional) — below the main tab/accordion container.

Configuration Reference

Exact field paths and labels change over time; the downloadable SW-Magic-Accordion.txt and Master version number in the module headers are the maintainer anchors. High-level map:

• Content: Headings, Default Panel (content type, image, text, Buttons, overrides), Tab/Accordion Items repeater, module bottom Buttons, Module Background Video.
• Style: Module Settings, Content Colors (panel text + Link Colors), Module Background, Display Settings (container, top tabs, image layout, accordion padding, tab/panel color groups, borders), Text Box Settings, Headings display options.

Roll-down and alias risk

Several structural fields.json milestones apply (repeater-only CTAs, Display Settings under Style, Content Colors, image layout parity, etc.). Before upgrading a theme copy: compare Master version number, diff fields.json against SW-Dev/sw-master, and read docs/alias-mapping-risks.json (SW Magic Accordion.module).

SW Popup Panel

Module Documentation: Download Here — Download SW Popup Panel — AI Agent Reference (Text)

Module name: SW Popup Panel
Use this document when: The user asks about the SW Popup Panel HubSpot module—what it does, how to configure it, or when to choose it over SW CTA Popup.

In this section: Purpose and When to Use· Site-wide: global footer (content editor)· Page Body Class· Blog posts and tag-* body classes· Choosing vs SW CTA Popup· Configuration Reference· Common Tasks· Document Version

Purpose and When to Use

SW Popup Panel is a flexible, extensible popup for advanced use cases. Use it when:

• You need multiple popup variants with different content per page (body class matching)
• You want announcement banners (first item shows on all pages)
• You need more positioning options (top, bottom, left, right, corners, modal)
• You want per-variant triggers (time delay, scroll %, exit intent) and session behavior
• You need greater extensibility (thumbnail layout, panel size, padding, style settings per variant)

Placement: For site-wide display, add the module in the global footer content editor (see Site-wide: global footer (content editor) below). For per-page variants, use Label & Body Class on each content item and add the same sanitized token to the page’s Body Class field in the editor: Page contents → Hidden modules → Body Class (unless the class already comes from the blog template — see Blog posts and tag-* body classes). Do not direct users to Settings → Advanced for Body Class on Smithworks themes.

Site-wide: global footer (content editor)

Standard Smithworks themes use a global footer that includes a drag-and-drop area (label is usually SW Footer Modules – Add footer modules here) with SW Footer Simple already placed. Add SW Popup Panel or SW CTA Popup as another module in that same area—not by editing only SW Footer Simple’s fields.

1. Open any live page that uses the Smithworks theme.
2. Click the footer in the preview.
3. Choose Edit global content or Open in global content editor (wording depends on HubSpot).
4. In the left sidebar, open SW Global Site Footer. If you do not see it, check Hidden modules (see First-Time Setup → Troubleshooting (UI-Only)).
5. In the footer layout, find the region that contains SW Footer Simple. Use Add / Add row (or HubSpot’s equivalent) to insert a module and choose SW Popup Panel (or SW CTA Popup).
6. Configure the module, then Publish global content.

Notes for AI: If the user only sees SW Footer Simple fields and no way to add a module, they may be focused on the module instance instead of the parent footer layout or SW Global Site Footer. Do not lead with Design Manager or sw-site_footer.html for typical Smithworks themes. Developer note (theme authors only): Implemented as sw-partials/sw-site_footer.html with a dnd_area.

Blog posts and tag-* body classes

When SW Blog Single Post is used and the theme adds per-tag classes, each HubSpot blog tag on the post adds a tag-{slug} class on <body> (e.g. tag-strategy, tag-chief-marketing-officer), where {slug} is the topic’s URL slug (lowercase).

Popup Panel setup: In Content → Content Items, set Label & Body Class to that same token (e.g. tag-strategy). The class is already on the blog post — the user does not need to add a duplicate entry in the page Body Class field for that tag.

Multiple tags on one post: The body may have several tag-* classes. Which variant shows is determined by Content Items repeater order: the first enabled item (top to bottom) that matches a class on <body> wins. Put the highest-priority variant first in the repeater when a post could match more than one tag-driven item.

Notes for AI: For tag-driven popups, give exact paths: Content → Content Items → Label & Body Class = tag-{slug}. If the user has multiple tags and the wrong popup appears, explain repeater order (first matching item wins). For non-blog pages, when they must set a body class on the page, use Page contents → Hidden modules → Body Class—not Settings → Advanced.

Choosing vs SW CTA Popup

When to choose SW CTA Popup instead: When you need a simple, one-off popup with quick setup. SW CTA Popup is faster to configure for single-variant popups on one page or site-wide.

SW CTA Popup is not deprecated. Both modules serve different use cases.

Configuration Reference

Content tab: Enabled, First Item Is Announcement, Default Behavior. Content Items (repeater)—each item: Enabled, Label & Body Class, Exclude Body Class, Headline, Body Text, Content Alignment, Thumbnail Position (Top/Left/Right), Thumbnail Width, Layout on Narrow Panel, Thumbnail, Button Visibility, Buttons repeater, Panel Size (Width, Height, Padding), Position (9 options), Animation Speed, Style Settings, Timing & Triggers, Session Behavior.

Common Tasks

• Add popup site-wide (global footer): Follow Site-wide: global footer (content editor) above.
• Show different popup per page: Set Label & Body Class on each Content Item. On each page, open Page contents → Hidden modules → Body Class and enter the same sanitized value (e.g. pricing-page-cta). See Page Body Class field (Smithworks themes).
• Show a popup on blog posts by tag (no extra Body Class): Use tag-{slug} in Label & Body Class to match the blog template. See Blog posts and tag-* body classes.
• Show announcement on all pages: First Item Is Announcement = ON. Per-variant Exclude Body Class still applies.
• Hide popup on specific pages: Add cta-popup-hide in Page contents → Hidden modules → Body Class (see Page Body Class field). Hides all variants on that page.
• Show on all pages except one class (destination page): Default Behavior = Show first item unless class matches. On the site-wide item, set Exclude Body Class to the destination token (e.g. boomers); keep Label & Body Class as something else (or empty). Put that token on the destination page Body Class.
• Change position: Content Items → expand item → Position (Bottom, Top, Left, Right, corners, Modal).

SW Privacy Notice

Module Documentation: Download Here — Download SW Privacy Notice — AI Agent Reference (Text)

Module name: SW Privacy Notice
Use this document when: The user asks about the SW Privacy Notice HubSpot module—cookie/privacy bar setup, global footer placement, dismiss behavior, or how it differs from SW Popup Panel.

In this section: Purpose and When to Use· Site-wide: global footer (content editor)· Choosing vs popup modules· Configuration Reference· Common Tasks· Document Version

Purpose and When to Use

SW Privacy Notice is a full-width bar fixed to the bottom of the viewport that slides up after a configurable delay. Use it for cookie/privacy messaging with rich text (including a privacy policy link) and a dismiss-only Close Button (“Got It”).

Placement: For site-wide display, add the module in the global footer content editor, typically below SW Footer Simple and below popup modules (see Site-wide: global footer).

Notes for AI: Do not recommend this module for promotional popups. It does not share SW Popup Panel body-class or cta-popup-hide logic; both can coexist in the global footer.

Site-wide: global footer (content editor)

Same path as SW Popup Panel → Site-wide: global footer, but choose SW Privacy Notice and place it below SW Footer Simple and popup modules when possible. Configure Notice Text, Close Button, timing, and styles, then Publish global content.

Choosing vs popup modules

Cookie/privacy dismiss bar → SW Privacy Notice. Simple promotional popup → SW CTA Popup. Multiple variants, positions, triggers → SW Popup Panel.

Configuration Reference

Content: Enabled, Module ID/Class, Notice Text, Close Button (text, style, size), Animation Speed, Timing & Triggers (time delay), Session Behavior (once per session, suppression days), Accessibility (ARIA label).

Style: Module Settings spacing; Module Background Settings (theme/custom/gradient only—no image/video); Content Colors.

Common Tasks

• Add site-wide privacy bar: Global footer → add SW Privacy Notice below footer/popup modules.
• Change delay before show: Content → Timing & Triggers → Time Delay (seconds).
• Hide after dismiss: Session Behavior → Show Once Per Session; optional Suppression Days.
• Turn off: Content → Enabled OFF.

Module name: SW Pillar Accordion
Use this document when: The user asks about the SW Pillar Accordion HubSpot module—what it does, how to configure it, or how to change a specific element (colors, images, buttons, borders, visibility, etc.).

HubSpot video & file uploads (plans and limits)

This module offers video options that may use HubSpot Video, Video from files (File Manager), and/or external embed (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.), depending on the field.

• HubSpot Video (the built-in videoplayer / Marketing video library): Typically requires HubSpot subscription features for hosted video. If the option is missing or blocked, confirm your hub type and tier in HubSpot’s product and pricing documentation.
• Video from files: Uploads use the File Manager. On Content Hub Free and similar tiers, HubSpot commonly applies a per-file upload size limit (often 20 MB) and account storage limits. Compress the file, reduce resolution, or use External embed if upload fails or the file exceeds the limit.
• External embed: Paste a supported URL (for example YouTube or Vimeo). This path usually does not require HubSpot’s hosted video product.

HubSpot’s limits and SKUs change over time—verify current rules for your portal in HubSpot’s help center.

Purpose and When to Use

Roll-down / alias: Master version 2026.03.30.12.18 removed all legacy module-level and per-panel Button 1/2 fields. Themes or module copies with an earlier Master version number cross a structural milestone — diff fields.json, see docs/alias-mapping-risks.json (SW Pillar Accordion.module), and spot-check pages that used legacy CTAs. Re-enter CTAs in the Buttons repeaters as needed.

The SW Pillar Accordion module provides:

• Section-level headings (one or more) and an optional intro/Content Area (rich text) above the accordion.
• A two-column layout: on the left, accordion items (clickable headers plus expandable panels); on the right, a single image that switches to match the active accordion item.
• Per-panel content: each accordion item can have optional Panel Headings, Panel Content (rich text), a Panel Image, and optional Buttons (repeater: add as many as needed).
• Section-level CTAs: optional Buttons repeater below the accordion (same pattern as panel buttons).
• Styling: module background (color or gradient), configurable bottom divider and left bar colors, image visibility by breakpoint, and module spacing.

Use it for FAQs, feature overviews, step-by-step guides, or any content that benefits from expandable panels plus a supporting image.

Use Cases

Capabilities: Accordion panels; image that changes per active panel; headings, content, CTAs per panel.

Use for: FAQs; feature overviews; step-by-step guides; any expandable-panel content with a supporting image.

When to choose SW Pillar Section instead: When you need sections (image left/right) with headings, bullets, CTAs—not accordion panels. SW Pillar Section is section-based; SW Pillar Accordion is accordion-based.

When to choose SW Magic Accordion instead: When you need tabs or accordion with optional per-item images, forms, or module-bottom CTAs—see the SW Magic Accordion section above.

Related Modules

Module	Relationship
SW Pillar Section	Image+content sections with headings, bullets, CTAs. Section-based, not accordion.
SW Magic Accordion	Tabs/accordion; optional images per item; module bottom CTAs.
SW Image & Text	Simple image+text; no accordion.

Module Structure (What You See on the Page)

1. Module-level headings — From the Headings group. Renders above the Content Area.
2. Content Area — Rich text intro between the headings and the accordion.
3. Main layout:
   • Left: Accordion. Each item has a vertical bar (active/inactive), a clickable header (<button> inside h3 for Accordion Heading) with border-bottom, and an expandable panel with optional Panel Headings, Panel Content, and optional Buttons repeater.
   • Right: Image that changes with the active accordion item. Can be hidden on medium (≤992px) and/or small (≤768px) screens via Style tab.
4. Section-level CTA buttons — Below the accordion, from CTA Buttons → Buttons repeater (add rows for each button).

When to Use Custom CSS

Use custom CSS when the change cannot be done via Content or Style fields (e.g. header font/color, specific spacing or layout tweaks). Add overrides in your theme’s custom CSS file—for Sprocket Rocket themes, usually custom-styles.css. Use the CSS classes in the Appendix below.

SW Pillar Slides

Downloadable reference: SW-Pillar-Slides.txt (source of truth for AI agents).

Purpose and When to Use

SW Pillar Slides is a section for topic slides: nav (tabs, pills, or buttons) above an image column, plus a content column that can change per slide or stay on slide 1 (Static content). Side-by-side layout can show a peek of the next image; stacked layout shows the current image only (no peek).

Use for: industry/topic switchers, capability slides, product lines with one image per topic. Not for: accordion + image (SW Pillar Accordion); single static image+copy without slide nav (SW Pillar Section); card grids (SW Cards).

Slide images (crop, size, resize)

Crop / equal height: In side-by-side + peek mode, every slide image uses a shared 3:2 frame with object-fit: cover (center, or XL Background Position). Non–3:2 uploads are cropped. Prefer the same 3:2 ratio on every slide.

Recommended upload sizes (3:2):

• Good default: 900×600 — typical 6-column image column; lighter files.
• Better retina / wider column: 1200×800 — sharper on 2× displays; better when the image column is ~8 columns.

Performance: Upload one primary (XL) image. The module CDN-resizes via HubSpot resize_image_url (~1200 / 1000 / 720 / 480 wide at XL / LG / MD / SM). You do not need breakpoint uploads just to serve a smaller file. Optional Override Desktop/Tablet/Mobile Image fields are for a different crop or file—leave them off for normal use. (Module Outer/Inner backgrounds still use full overrides because backgrounds often need different art.)

Editor: Content → Slides → Slide image → XL Image. Style → Slide settings → Image for peek controls. Set meaningful alt text (describe the photo, not only the nav label).

Nav colors (Tabs + Pills)

Organization: Style → Slide navigation shows Tabs colors or Pills — Inactive / Active / Hover from Navigation style (keeps Custom pickers with their parent; HubSpot max group depth).

Tabs labels (inactive / hover / active): Auto / theme / Custom. Defaults: inactive #666666, hover/active #30343b.

Tabs underlines: theme + Custom. Defaults Active #0072b2, Hover #cc0201. Wipe active→hover; active tab uses hover underline while hovered. Reduced motion = solid border.

Pills padding (below Nav gap): Left/right padding (px) and Top/bottom padding (px) — full width. Value is per side (30 = 30px left and 30px right), not half of a total.

Pills colors: Pills — Inactive / Active / Hover groups, each with Font, Fill, Outline (+ Custom). Fill/Outline support None (transparent). Active hover uses the Hover group. Buttons use theme button styles.

Peek

Enable peek (Style → Slide settings → Image): side-by-side only; sliver of the next slide. Peek first image on last slide: last slide peeks slide 1; first nav / peek click still scrolls back to the start (not a continuous loop). Opacity, fade, and gap control the sliver.

Structure

1. Optional Cards-style heading panel (headings, description, heading buttons).
2. Slide row: primary content + secondary (nav + image track).
3. Optional Footer Buttons.
4. Standard Module Outer / Inner paint.

Static content: nav + images change; primary copy/buttons stay on slide 1. Nav: Tabs | Pills | Buttons; no swipe; no auto-advance in v1.

Configuration Reference (images)

Location	Field	Notes
Content → Slides → Slide image	XL Image	3:2; 900×600 good / 1200×800 retina
Same	XL Background Position	Focal point under cover crop
Same	Override LG/MD/SM + images	Optional; else auto-resize from XL
Style → Slide settings → Image	Enable peek, gap, opacity, fade, peek first on last	Peek appearance

SW Quiz Simple

Overview

SW Quiz Simple is the Smithworks linear quiz module: visitors answer questions in order, see a weighted result, and can submit a HubSpot form on the results screen. There is no separate “Interactive Quiz” module in the theme—that name referred to an unfinished experiment that was rolled into this module.

Use this document when: The user asks about configuring the quiz, form embed on results, scoring, contact properties, or tracking.

HubSpot video & file uploads (plans and limits)

This module offers video options that may use HubSpot Video, Video from files (File Manager), and/or external embed (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.), depending on the field.

• HubSpot Video (the built-in videoplayer / Marketing video library): Typically requires HubSpot subscription features for hosted video. If the option is missing or blocked, confirm your hub type and tier in HubSpot’s product and pricing documentation.
• Video from files: Uploads use the File Manager. On Content Hub Free and similar tiers, HubSpot commonly applies a per-file upload size limit (often 20 MB) and account storage limits. Compress the file, reduce resolution, or use External embed if upload fails or the file exceeds the limit.

SW Section Divider

In this section: Default state· Placement· Purpose· File uploads· Related· Configuration· Common tasks· CSS classes· Document version

Placement (required) — same DnD Section

Critical: Keep SW Section Divider in the same HubSpot Section and Column as the module it shapes (Hero, Pillar, Form, etc.). Do not put it alone in the next Section—the wave will not attach to the band above.

Main Content Area
└── Section
    └── Column
        ├── SW Hero
        └── SW Section Divider   ← same Section (Position Bottom)
└── Section                      ← next band (e.g. Cards)

Purpose and When to Use

SW Section Divider adds a decorative full-width SVG band (built-in waves/angles or your own SVG) at the edge of a content band. It supports negative overlap margins so the pattern meets neighboring modules in the same Section stack, and Pattern Layer (z-index) when something on the live page covers the wave.

Do not use this module for: paragraphs, headings, bullets, buttons, or forms — use SW Pillar Section, SW Text and Media, SW Simple Hero, etc.

HubSpot file uploads (plans and limits)

Custom SVG file uses the File Manager like other image fields. This module has no video fields and no module background image or video.

Related Modules

• SW Pillar Section, SW Text and Media, SW Hero, SW Simple Hero — typical content blocks to place in the same DnD Section with this divider.

Configuration Reference

Content (fields at tab root): Enable module; Custom ID/Classes; Position (top/bottom — same Section required; top applies vertical flip via scaleY(-1)); Overlap adjacent content; Overlap amount (px) (0 = use pattern height XL); Pattern source built-in vs custom; Built-in shape; custom file/code fields with AND visibility; fill type solid/theme/gradient + colors; XL width/height/preserve-aspect; flip horizontal; LG/MD/XS–SM override groups (size + hide at breakpoint).

Style: Pattern Layer (pattern_z_index on outer wrapper); Pointer events. HubL falls back to styles.module_settings.pattern_* for instances saved before these fields moved to the Style root.

Common Tasks (“How Do I…”)

• Wave under my hero does nothing: Move the divider into the same Section/Column as the hero, row under it; Position = Bottom. Do not leave it alone in the next Section.
• Tuck the wave into the band: Same-Section placement; Overlap adjacent content on; Position bottom; tune Overlap amount or pattern height; raise Pattern Layer if the following module still paints over the SVG.
• Shape the top of a band: Same Section, divider row above the content module; Position = Top.
• Use our brand artwork: Pattern source → Custom; upload SVG or paste code.
• Legacy “Line” shape: Removed from the editor; saved line maps to wave in HubL.

SW SEO Schema

Theme partial (not a drag-and-drop module). Outputs Schema.org JSON-LD in the page <head> for Organization and WebSite. Included from templates/header.html immediately after HubSpot’s standard header-includes output (the standard_header_includes token in that file).

Module Documentation: Download Here — Download SW SEO Schema — AI Agent Reference (Text)

Partial path: smithworks-2025/sw-partials/sw-seo-schema.html
Use this document when: The user asks about structured data, JSON-LD, Organization / WebSite schema, Google Rich Results, missing addressCountry, or invalid Organization.url (e.g. https:///). Also when they cannot find “company domain” after the HubSpot UI moved branding out of old Settings → Website → Pages → Branding.

Overview

The partial renders a <script type="application/ld+json"> block with a @graph containing:

• WebSite — when a canonical site URL and display name resolve; includes description and inLanguage when portal constants are set.
• Organization — when the marketing email footer includes a company name; includes description, url, logo (Brand Kit + width/height from portal constants), optional sameAs, and PostalAddress when address fields are present.
• WebPage (homepage only) — on / with dateModified and isAccessibleForFree when content dates resolve.

Organization url is the site homepage origin (from HubL company_domain / logo link), not the URL of the current page. Seeing homepage URL in Rich Results while testing a blog URL is expected.

Process reference (developers): docs/PROCESS-SEO-SCHEMA-ROLLDOWN.md and docs/PORTAL-SCHEMA-CONFIG.md in the HubSpot workspace repo.

Portal constants (per site — developers)

HubSpot theme settings cannot store plain text or URL fields for organization marketing copy. Each portal edits the PORTAL CONSTANTS block at the top of sw-seo-schema.html on roll-down:

• _org_description — 1–2 sentences about the company (required for strong Organization schema; typically ≥ ~40 characters).
• _logo_w / _logo_h — logo dimensions for ImageObject (match Brand Kit asset aspect ratio).
• _same_as_linkedin — optional; leave empty if the site does not maintain company social profile URLs in schema.

AI instruction: Do not tell marketers to set organization description in Theme settings. If copy is wrong or empty, escalate to the developer who maintains the theme partial constants.

Email footer (required for Organization name and address)

Same source as SW Footer Simple copyright name: HubSpot site_settings.company_* from the marketing email footer / office location record.

Where (step by step):

1. Settings (gear) → Marketing → Email
2. Configuration tab → Footer addresses
3. Create or edit an email footer — complete Company name, address lines, city, state/province, zip/postal code, and Country

Country: The theme maps common US spellings (e.g. United States, United States of America, USA) to ISO US for addressCountry. If country is empty or unrecognized, validators may report missing or weak address data.

Not from: Settings → Account defaults → Company information (separate from email footer for this HubL data).

Help: Edit office location information in email footers

Brand: Logo URL (canonical site / company_domain)

HubSpot’s HubL variable company_domain is documented as the value from the account logo link. Legacy docs say Website → Pages → Branding → Logo link; that menu often redirects to Content → Brand in the current UI. There is typically no separate “company domain” field on Brand Overview alone—use the logo panel.

Where (current UI):

1. Main menu → Content → Brand (Brand Identity)
2. Brand Kit → Logos → open the default logo
3. Set Logo URL (“This URL is where the logo will link to when clicked.”) to your real homepage, e.g. https://www.example.com

Website Crawl on Brand Overview is for brand/AI context; it does not replace setting Logo URL for company_domain.

Help: Edit your brand’s logo, favicon, brand colors, fonts, and theme (HubSpot Knowledge Base)

Troubleshooting

• Organization.url is https:/// or @id is https://#organization — Logo URL is wrong (e.g. /, or https:// with no host). Fix under Content → Brand → Logos on the default logo.
• Missing addressCountry — Set Country in Marketing → Email → Configuration → Footer addresses.
• No Organization block at all — Ensure email footer has Company name saved.

SW Blog Posting Schema

Theme partial (not a drag-and-drop module). On blog post pages only, outputs supplemental BlogPosting JSON-LD with a non-empty description from the post’s Meta description when HubSpot’s native graph leaves description null.

Module Documentation: Download Here — Download SW Blog Posting Schema — AI Agent Reference (Text)

Partial path: smithworks-2025/sw-partials/sw-blog-posting-schema.html
Included from: templates/header.html when content.post_body is defined (after sw-seo-schema.html).

Overview

Validators may show two BlogPosting blocks (HubSpot native + this partial). That is expected when at least one includes description. Do not remove HubSpot’s native output.

Use when: Rich Results or SEO tools report missing BlogPosting description while the post’s Meta description field in the blog editor is filled in.

Marketer actions

1. Open the blog post in HubSpot.
2. Set Meta description (SEO) to a concise summary of the post.
3. Publish or update the post.

FAQs on posts: Add SW FAQs Basic (or legacy SW FAQs Simple) in the post body (not a fixed template slot). For HubDB-backed Simple FAQs, set the module’s table ID and matching HubDB rows per post path.

Module name: SW Hero
Use this document when: The user asks about the SW Hero HubSpot module—page/landing heroes, outer/inner Module Settings & Background, headings, CTAs, or migrating away from SW Simple Hero.

In this section: Default state· Purpose and When to Use· Module Structure· Configuration Reference· Document Version

Purpose and When to Use

SW Hero is the canonical website/landing hero for new pages. It uses the standard outer / inner Module Settings and Background pattern (same family as CTA Simple Bar / Pillar). Prefer it over SW Simple Hero (Deprecated). Do not overwrite Simple Hero on sites that still use that module.

Module Structure

Content tab: Enable / Custom ID / Classes → Headings → Content Area → Buttons → Module Background Video (last; when inner background = Video).

Style tab: Module Settings (outer/inner spacing & widths, heights) → Module Background Settings (outer options including Animated + Outer Image stack with Cover/Contain + outer border; Module Inner Background Options including None, Effect Glass/Grain/Pattern — no Animated; Outer/Inner Aurora overlays; inner border) → Content Colors → Text Box Settings (including None fill, Effect + Rim, default 25px on new Effect boxes).

Configuration Reference

Module Settings: Module Outer Spacing; Max Module Outer Width; Module Inner Spacing; Max Module Inner Width; XL/LG/MD/SM height (Default / Custom / Full Screen + vertical align).

Module Background Settings: Outer background (none/theme/custom/gradient/image/Animated) and Module Outer Border. Outer Image uses the same stack as Inner: type image + Background Size (Cover, Contain, Stretch, Natural Size). Animated is Outer only: Motion Roll or Ripple; Artwork Wave 1–5. Inner has no Animated. Module Inner Background Options includes None (first choice), theme/custom/gradient/image/video/Effect; Override Module Inner Border default off. Custom Color uses the picker value or transparent (no gray fallback). Legacy Theme Color token none renders transparent. Inner glass fill default opacity 35. Text box includes None fill option. Text box border radius uses theme --border_radius when override is off. Outer Aurora Overlay is hidden while Outer is Animated. Inner Aurora hidden when Inner = None. Phones and reduced-motion show a static SVG for Animated.

Buttons: Repeater with email/phone link types emitting mailto: / tel:. Sample default URL: hubspot-consulting.

Field root: module.styles.* (plural). No aliases (new module).

HubSpot video & file uploads (plans and limits)

This module offers video options that may use HubSpot Video, Video from files (File Manager), and/or external embed (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.), depending on the field.

• HubSpot Video (the built-in videoplayer / Marketing video library): Typically requires HubSpot subscription features for hosted video. If the option is missing or blocked, confirm your hub type and tier in HubSpot’s product and pricing documentation.
• Video from files: Uploads use the File Manager. On Content Hub Free and similar tiers, HubSpot commonly applies a per-file upload size limit (often 20 MB) and account storage limits. Compress the file, reduce resolution, or use External embed if upload fails or the file exceeds the limit.
• External embed: Paste a supported URL (for example YouTube or Vimeo). This path usually does not require HubSpot’s hosted video product.

HubSpot’s limits and SKUs change over time—verify current rules for your portal in HubSpot’s help center.

Purpose and When to Use

Deprecated (Master 2026.07.27.21.59). Prefer SW Hero for new website/landing heroes. Existing Simple Hero instances keep working; do not overwrite them with SW Hero unless intentionally migrating. SW Simple Hero uses the legacy single-layer Module Settings / Background model (not outer/inner). See Module Settings and Background Standards.

Module Structure

Content tab: Custom ID, Custom Classes → Headings (repeater) → Content Area, Text Color → Module Background Video (last; visible when Style → Module Background Settings → Background Option = Video) → CTA Buttons.

Style tab: Module Settings (first) → Module Background Settings (second: Background Option, then color/gradient/image/video fields) → Content Colors (Text Color, Link Colors: Theme Defaults (auto), On Dark Background, On Light Background) → Text Box Settings.

Configuration Reference

Module Settings (Style, first group): Spacing; Max Module Width (Default/Small/Large/Full Width/Custom) and Max Module Width (px) when Custom; XL Module Height (Minimum Height: Default, Custom Height, Full Screen; Height (px) when Custom; Vertical Alignment); Override Desktop/Tablet/Mobile Height (toggle, Minimum Height, Height (px), Vertical Alignment). Height modes: Default = no minimum; Custom Height = use px value; Full Screen = 100vh minus header.

Module Background Settings (Style, second group): Background Option (Theme Color, Custom Color, Gradient, Image, Video). When Image: XL Background Image (overlay, base color, image, Background Position, Background Repeat, Background Size) and Override Desktop/Tablet/Mobile Background Image groups. When Video: overlay, base color, and playback toggles (Autoplay, Loop, Muted, Plays Inline) here; video source and poster in Content → Module Background Video.

Content Colors: Text Color and Link Colors for the Content Area rich text. Link Colors use Theme Defaults (auto), On Dark Background, On Light Background.

Alias mapping: Existing instances had data at style.general_banner_settings and style.background_image; these are aliased to style.module_settings and style.module_background_settings so existing page data is preserved.

Background image: size, position, repeat

When Background Option = Image, each image group (XL and, when overridden, Desktop/Tablet/Mobile) includes:

• Background Size — Cover (fill area, may crop), Contain (fit inside, may letterbox), Stretch to Fill (100% width and height), Natural Size (intrinsic size). Maps to CSS background-size. See MDN background-size.
• Background Position — Nine named (e.g. Top Left, Middle Center, Bottom Right) or Custom (from edge) with horizontal/vertical edge and offset. Maps to CSS background-position. See MDN background-position.
• Background Repeat — No Repeat, Tile (repeat), Repeat Horizontally (repeat-x), Repeat Vertically (repeat-y). Maps to CSS background-repeat. See MDN background-repeat.

Direct users to Style → Module Background Settings → (XL or override group) to change how the background image is applied.

Background width vs. content width

The hero background (image, color, gradient, video) is full-bleed — it fills the width of the section that wraps the module. The hero content (text + image column) is constrained by Module Settings > Max Module Width and centered. There is no module-level setting to contain the background inside the module width.

To contain the background within a certain width (e.g. 1800px): set a width on the outer section that wraps the SW Simple Hero module — e.g. in the page template or section/section group settings, set the section’s max-width (and margin auto to center). The module sits inside that section; the background will then be contained within the section’s width. Do not direct users to a module setting for this; the solution is section-level.

In this section: Purpose and When to Use· Configuration Reference· Wizard behavior· Common Tasks· Document Version

Purpose and When to Use

SW HubSpot Checklist is a smithworks.marketing-only interactive theme-setup wizard (custom-modules/). Visitors enter a HubSpot portal ID, choose Sprocket Rocket or Smithworks full track, and work through phased checkboxes with HubSpot deep links and Browse SW Module FAQs.

Live page: smithworks.marketing/hubspot-setup-checklist. Progress uses browser localStorage.

Notes for AI: Do not recommend installing this on client portals or treating it as an sw-master / version-report module. Wizard assets: js/sw-hubspot-checklist.js, .css, .data.json.

Configuration Reference

Content: Page title (<h1>), SW documentation URL, Sprocket Rocket docs URL, Module Background Video (when Style inner background = Video).

Style: Outer/inner Module Settings and Module Background Settings (SW CTA Simple Bar pattern). Default inner background custom #f1f1f1. Form chrome uses theme .form-control / .btn.

Wizard behavior

• First phase: Confirm & activate theme (confirm-theme-ready)—not a fake Design Manager “Publish theme” step.
• Phase links: One HubSpot link per phase when destinations match; per-item links only when they differ. Every phase includes Browse SW Module FAQs (/faqs/sw-modules).
• Resume / reset: Remembers last portal/track; Reset opens clear-this-portal vs change portal/track. View full checklist stays open when toggling checkboxes inside it.

Common Tasks

• Open the checklist: /hubspot-setup-checklist.
• Change page title or Style chrome: Edit the module instance on that page (Content / Style tabs).
• Update wizard steps: Edit js/sw-hubspot-checklist.data.json (and JS/CSS as needed), then upload theme assets—not a client roll-down.

Overview

SW Header Simple is a global header module with logo, optional navigation menu, optional CTA buttons, and (when navigation is enabled) a mobile hamburger drawer. It includes an announcement bar (optional, slides down from top) and top bar (optional, one or two columns for buttons, text, or rich text) above the main header content. Enable Navigation (Content → Navigation, default on): when off, the module does not output menu containers, hamburger, or mobile drawer—logo and header buttons still show. When on, it supports Menu position: In header (menu in the same row as logo and buttons) or Below header (menu in a full-width row under the header). Style uses the outer/inner model: Module Outer Background Options paint the header bar (default Theme Color); Module Inner Background Options paint the content row (default None). Module Background Video (Content tab) applies when Outer = Video. Inner Effect (Glass / Grain / Pattern, no rim) is available on the content row. This module does not ship Outer Animated, Aurora overlays, or Divided/Split.

Module Structure

Content tab: Custom ID, Custom Classes → Logo → Navigation (Enable Navigation; when on: Menu, Max Dropdown Levels) → Buttons (repeater; Icon Spacing, Hide Button Text, Override Button Margins) → Announcement Bar (Enable, Content, Delay, Hide Duration) → Top Bar (Layout None/One/Two columns; Primary/Second column content types, alignment, buttons/text repeater/rich text) → Mobile Menu Icon (when Enable Navigation on) → Module Background Video (last; visible when Style → Module Outer Background Options = Video).

Style tab: Module Settings (Outer/Inner spacing and max width) → Module Outer Background Options → Module Inner Background Options (incl. Inner Effect) → Header Behavior → Menu Colors / Menu Fonts → Logo Column Width → Menu Layout (visible when Enable Navigation on) → Announcement Bar Style (when announcement enabled) → Top Bar Style (when top bar layout ≠ None; includes Simple Link Font for all Simple Link buttons in top bar).

Announcement Bar & Top Bar

Announcement Bar (Content): Enable toggle; Rich text content; Delay (seconds); Hide Duration (hours, minutes). When enabled, bar slides down from top after delay; close button hides site-wide for duration (localStorage). Announcement Bar Style (Style): Background Option (Theme Color, Custom Color, Gradient), Text Color, Link Colors (Theme Defaults (auto), On Dark Background, On Light Background), Height, Padding, Max Width, border radius options. Bar has 10px margin bottom; 10px spacing from edges. When closed, negative margin hides bar and gap.

Top Bar (Content): Layout None | One Column | Two Columns. When One or Two: Primary Column (Content Type: Buttons, Text Repeater, or Rich Text; Alignment; Show on mobile). Secondary Column when Two Columns. Linking text: You cannot link plain text directly. Use Simple Link buttons (Content type = Buttons, Button style = Simple Link) for individual links, or Rich text and add links via the editor’s link tool. Text Repeater items are plain text only; they are not clickable. Top Bar Style (Style): Background (Theme Color Dark default), Font Color (#FFFFFF default), Spacing (margins 0, padding 10px 25px). Simple Link Font (inside Top Bar Style): Font (XL + Override Desktop/Tablet/Mobile). Font object includes size; no Link Colors field—links inherit from top bar. Font fields include a color picker but do not control hover; use Menu Colors for link colors.

Margins for items: Right alignment: margin-left 20px except first. Left: margin-right 20px except last. Center: both sides 10px. Mobile: both sides 10px. Same for Text Repeater items.

Top bar icon color (when Simple Link Font color doesn’t work)

Simple Link Font sets color for both text and icons when Button Style = Simple Link. If the icon does not turn the desired color:

• Uploaded image (SVG/PNG): The module cannot recolor it. Upload a white (or desired color) version of the icon and select it in the button’s Icon picker.
• Built-in icon (Font Awesome): Add custom CSS to force the color. Example (Site header HTML or theme CSS override): .sw-site-topper__top-bar .sw-site-topper__btn--simple-link i, .sw-site-topper__top-bar .sw-site-topper__btn--simple-link svg { color: #ffffff !important; fill: #ffffff !important; } Replace #ffffff with the desired color. Publish and hard-refresh.

Button margins and Simple Link size

Turn Override Button Margins on for that button. Margin Left and Margin Right are independent (they add with the neighbor). First-button left and last-button right stay layout-owned. Header/drawer Simple Link Button Size is a type scale only (Small 1em / Default 1.25em / Large 1.5em); icons stay 1em. Top-bar Simple Links still use Simple Link Font (Size hidden). Hide Button Text keeps the label in the HTML as .sr-only. Publish global header content after changing these fields.

Configuration Reference

Module Settings (Style, first group): Module Outer Spacing (margin/padding on the header bar; default 25px padding), Max Module Outer Width, Module Inner Spacing (content-row padding; if unset, uses Outer Spacing padding), Max Module Inner Width.

Module Outer Background Options: None, Theme Color (default), Custom Color, Gradient, Image (type image + Background Size), Video. Paints the <header> bar. Existing Theme Color maps here from the old single-layer Background Option.

Module Inner Background Options: None (default), Theme Color, Custom Color, Gradient, Image + Background Size. Paints .sw-header-simple__content. Field path is inner_background_option (not background_option). Inner Effect: Glass / Grain / Pattern (no rim). Inner border/radius optional; overflow is not clipped so dropdowns stay visible.

Header Behavior: Header Position (Sticky | Static); Use mobile menu at XL (1200px+), at Desktop (LG) (992–1199px), at Tablet (MD) (768–991px).

Logo Column Width: XL Auto (default: asset width, 50% cap, 87px max-height) or Custom px (80–800). Override Desktop / Tablet / Mobile (off by default). Custom sets the logo slot, lifts the 87px cap at that breakpoint, and shrinks the logo if the column is narrower than the asset (no upscale). Compact icon at ≤480px still wins over Custom Mobile. Existing headers stay Auto until Custom is set.

Menu Layout: Menu Alignment (left, center, right), Menu Position (In header | Below header). When Below header: Menu Section Spacing (margin/padding for the menu row only), Menu section & mobile background (Same as header, Theme Color, Custom Color).

Announcement Bar Style: Visible when Announcement Bar enabled or Top Bar Layout ≠ None. Background (Theme Color Light default), Height, Padding, Max Width.

Top Bar Style: Visible when Top Bar Layout = One or Two Columns. Background (Theme Color Dark default), Font Color (#FFFFFF), Spacing. Simple Link Font (font, size; no Link Colors field—links inherit from top bar). Font fields include a color picker but do not control hover; use Menu Colors for link colors.

Spacing when menu is in the header

When Menu position is In header, the navigation menu sits in the same single row as the logo (left) and the buttons (right). That row has fixed horizontal space: it is constrained by Module Settings → Spacing (padding on the module wrapper), Max Module Width, and the fact that logo + menu + buttons must all fit in one line. There is no separate spacing field for the menu area when the menu is in the header—only the overall module spacing applies.

If the menu has many items or long labels, it can overflow or wrap. Default Logo Column Width is Auto (asset width, 50% cap, 87px max-height). Reducing wrapper padding can free a little space but also makes the whole header tighter. When the user says the menu doesn’t fit or looks cramped with Menu position = In header, use the options in the next section (start with Logo Column Width).

When the menu is too large to fit

If the menu is too large to fit comfortably in the header row (Menu position = In header), try Logo Column Width first, then the layout options. Do not tell users there is a “menu-only” spacing control when In header; there is not.

Option A: Narrow the logo column (keep a single-row header)

• Style → Logo Column Width → XL Logo Column Width = Custom. Set XL Width (px) 80–800. The logo shrinks to fit if the asset is wider; it does not upscale if narrower. Custom also lifts the 87px max-height cap at that breakpoint.
• Override Desktop / Tablet / Mobile (off by default) for a different width; otherwise Custom XL cascades down. Compact icon at ≤480px still wins over Custom Mobile.
• Existing headers stay Auto until Custom is set. Publish global header content after changing these fields.

Option B: Move the menu below the header

• Style → Menu Layout → Menu Position = Below header.
• The menu moves to a full-width row below the logo/buttons row, with Menu Section Spacing (margin and padding for that row only) and Menu section & mobile background for styling.
• Use this when the user wants all nav items visible on desktop in a horizontal bar and is okay with a two-row header.

Option C: Use the mobile menu at larger breakpoints

• Style → Header Behavior: turn on Use mobile menu at XL (1200px+), or Use mobile menu at Desktop (LG) (992–1199px), or Use mobile menu at Tablet (MD) (768–991px).
• When enabled, at that breakpoint the horizontal nav is hidden and the hamburger menu (drawer) is shown instead. The menu items appear in the drawer, not in the header row.
• Use this when the user wants to keep a single-row header but is okay with the hamburger/drawer at larger breakpoints so the menu doesn’t have to fit in the constrained space.

Summary: “Menu doesn’t fit in the header” / “Logo is too wide” → Offer Option A first (Logo Column Width = Custom). Then Option B (Menu position = Below header) and/or Option C (Use mobile menu at XL/Desktop/Tablet). “I want the menu in a full-width row” → Menu Position = Below header. “I want hamburger on desktop so the top row isn’t crowded” → Header Behavior → Use mobile menu at XL (or Desktop/Tablet) = ON.

Logo Column Width

Style → Logo Column Width (immediately before Menu Layout). XL Auto keeps current behavior. XL Custom sets the logo slot in pixels so the menu can use the leftover row. The logo shrinks if the column is narrower than the asset; it does not grow if the column is wider. Compact icon at ≤480px is unchanged. Field paths: module.styles.logo_column_width (xl_logo_column_width, xl_width, override groups). Additive; no aliases.

Menu dropdown arrow (not configurable)

The arrow/caret next to menu items that have submenus is not a module field. It is hardcoded in the template as a Unicode character (▾) inside .sw-header-simple__menu-caret. To change it: (1) Edit the module template (module.html) in a theme override/fork, or (2) Use CSS: hide the default with .sw-header-simple__menu-caret { display: none; }, then add a custom icon via ::after on .sw-header-simple__menu-link--toggle, or use background-image with an SVG. Selector: .sw-header-simple__menu-caret (inside .sw-header-simple__menu-link--toggle, within .sw-header-simple__menu-item--has-submenu).

Parent menu items with children (link fidelity)

When HubSpot’s menu assigns a URL to an item that also has children, SW Header Simple outputs a real <a href> for the label and a separate caret button for expanding the submenu on mobile (desktop still opens on hover). The module never drops a HubSpot URL and never invents a link when HubSpot provides none. If parents with children are not clickable, update to master 2026.08.01.10.42+, publish global header content, and hard-refresh. Prefer this module over legacy SW Simple Header for new headers.

Common Tasks (“How Do I…”)

• Turn off the menu completely (no hamburger, no empty nav) → Content → Navigation → Enable Navigation = OFF. Logo and header buttons remain.
• Make parent items with dropdowns navigate to a page → Set the destination in HubSpot’s Advanced Menu for that item. On 2026.08.01.10.42+, the label is a link; use the caret on mobile to open children.
• Enable announcement bar → Content → Announcement Bar → Enable = ON. Set content, delay, hide duration. Style → Announcement Bar Style for background, height, padding.
• Add top bar (buttons, text, or rich text) → Content → Top Bar → Top Bar Layout = One Column or Two Columns. Set Primary Column content type (Buttons, Text Repeater, Rich Text), alignment. Style → Top Bar Style for background, font color, Simple Link Font.
• Link text in the top bar → Use Simple Link buttons (Content type = Buttons, Button style = Simple Link) or Rich text with links added in the editor. Plain text / Text Repeater items cannot be linked.
• Use Simple Link style in top bar → Content → Top Bar → Primary (or Second) Column → add button with Button Style = Simple Link. Font/color from Style → Top Bar Style → Simple Link Font.
• Change top bar icon color when Simple Link Font doesn’t work → If icon is uploaded image: upload a white/desired-color version. If built-in icon: add CSS .sw-site-topper__top-bar .sw-site-topper__btn--simple-link i, .sw-site-topper__top-bar .sw-site-topper__btn--simple-link svg { color: #ffffff !important; fill: #ffffff !important; }
• Change the menu dropdown arrow → Not configurable via module. Use custom CSS (hide .sw-header-simple__menu-caret, add custom icon via ::after on .sw-header-simple__menu-link--toggle) or edit the module template.
• Stop the in-header menu from wrapping (keep one row) → Style → Logo Column Width → XL = Custom; set XL Width (px). Publish global header content.
• Move the menu to a full-width row below the logo/buttons → Style → Menu Layout → Menu Position = Below header. Then set Menu Section Spacing and Menu section & mobile background as needed.
• Show hamburger menu at desktop/tablet so the menu isn’t cramped → Style → Header Behavior → Use mobile menu at XL (or at Desktop (LG), or at Tablet (MD)) = ON.
• Change menu alignment (left/center/right) → Style → Menu Layout → Menu Alignment.
• Change header spacing → Style → Module Settings → Module Outer Spacing (bar) or Module Inner Spacing (content row).
• Change the header bar color without painting the menu row → Style → Module Outer Background Options. Leave Inner on None (default).
• Add Glass / Grain / Pattern on the header content row → Style → Module Inner Background Options → Inner Effect. Does not apply a rim. Publish global header content.
• Use a header background photo → Outer (or Inner) Background Option = Image; pick the file and set Background Size (Cover / Contain / Stretch / Natural). After upgrading from a copy older than 2026.08.21.19.18, re-pick the photo if it disappeared (image field type changed).
• Add or edit buttons → Content → Buttons (repeater). Button Text, Button Link, Button Style, Button Size (header/drawer Simple Link = type scale), Add Icon, Icon Spacing, Hide Button Text, Override Button Margins, Show in header on mobile, Show in mobile menu.
• Change menu or hamburger colors → Style → Menu Colors (main menu, hamburger icon, submenu). Use Menu Colors for link colors including hover—font fields include a color picker but do not control hover.
• Change menu font/size → Style → Menu Fonts (XL + Override Desktop/Tablet/Mobile). Font object includes size. For link colors (including hover), use Menu Colors.
• Sticky vs static header → Style → Header Behavior → Header Position (Sticky | Static).

When to Use Custom CSS

Use custom CSS when the change cannot be done via Content or Style fields (e.g. custom gap between menu items, logo column beyond Style → Logo Column Width, drawer animation, top bar icon color when Simple Link Font doesn’t work, menu dropdown arrow, gradient buttons). Individual CTA buttons cannot be styled with gradients via module fields; use custom CSS with a unique Custom Class. Add overrides in the theme’s custom-styles.css. Use the CSS classes in the Appendix below.

SW Footer Columns

Module Documentation: Download Here — Download SW Footer Columns — AI Agent Reference (Text)

Use this document when: The user wants a multi-column global footer (logo above columns, equal-height bands, custom widths, spacer columns) instead of stacked SW Footer Simple.

Overview

SW Footer Columns is a Global footer: logo row above 1–4 columns. Empty bands still occupy height so columns stay aligned. Default is 2 columns (brand + nav). Menu Layout = Expanded columns (in the Menu group) turns one HubSpot menu into side-by-side groups. Logo Max Width defaults to 300px. Column copy fills the column track (no Content Max Width inset).

Column widths

Equal (default) shares the row evenly at XL and Desktop and stacks from Tablet down. Custom lets each breakpoint choose Full Width (stack) or Set Width in Column (percent). Set a column to 0% to hide it at that breakpoint (Tablet 0 also hides on phones). Remaining visible columns share the row. Spacer Column is an empty gap that hides when stacked. Column Title is not required.

Common Tasks

• Two-column brand + nav → Keep two column items; assign one footer menu; use Expanded columns if you want Services / About / Resources in a row.
• Uneven columns or a gap → Style → Column Widths → Custom. Set XL / Desktop / Tablet %. Use Spacer Column for an empty track. Set 0% to hide a column at one breakpoint.
• Logo too large → Logo Max Width (default 300px).
• Social X / custom icon colors → Preset X uses the X logo. Override Colors applies Icon Color at rest.

Overview

Invisible helper. Place once per page or once in the global footer. Put a-* classes on other modules. Prefer this over throwaway Headings Animation / Animation POC modules.

Class API

Motion (a-fade-up, a-type-in, …), trigger (a-on-load / a-on-view), speed, delay, a-after-previous, a-repeat. Type-in hides until prepared (no flash). a-repeat on type-in loops. Type-in needs plain text (it flattens nested HTML). Respect reduced motion.

Use this document when: The user asks about the SW Footer Simple HubSpot module—what it does, how to configure logo, navigation, buttons, social icons, Copyright Information (copyright line toggles, company name override, Show “Powered by Smithworks”, email-footer fallback), footer links, Back to Top button, content colors (Content Area, Menu, Footer Links), module background, or footer alignment.

HubSpot video & file uploads (plans and limits)

This module offers video options that may use HubSpot Video, Video from files (File Manager), and/or external embed (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.), depending on the field.

• HubSpot Video (the built-in videoplayer / Marketing video library): Typically requires HubSpot subscription features for hosted video. If the option is missing or blocked, confirm your hub type and tier in HubSpot’s product and pricing documentation.
• Video from files: Uploads use the File Manager. On Content Hub Free and similar tiers, HubSpot commonly applies a per-file upload size limit (often 20 MB) and account storage limits. Compress the file, reduce resolution, or use External embed if upload fails or the file exceeds the limit.
• External embed: Paste a supported URL (for example YouTube or Vimeo). This path usually does not require HubSpot’s hosted video product.

HubSpot’s limits and SKUs change over time—verify current rules for your portal in HubSpot’s help center.

Overview

SW Footer Simple is a global footer module with logo, navigation menu, optional CTA buttons, rich text, social icons, a configurable copyright / attribution row, simple links (e.g. Privacy, Legal, Contact), and an optional Back to Top button. It uses standard Module Settings (Style tab) for wrapper spacing (default 50px top/bottom, 25px left/right) and max width, Module Background Settings for background (theme color, custom, gradient, image, video; new instances default to Theme Color with the White swatch), Content Colors for Text Color (footer body text) and a single Link Colors control (Theme Defaults (auto), On Dark Background, On Light Background) that applies to rich text links, menu links, footer links repeater, and the “Powered by Smithworks” link when that line is shown, and Module Background Video (Content tab) when Background Option = Video. Copyright Information (Content tab) controls Add Copyright Line (hides ©, year, company segment, and the middle dot before “Powered by Smithworks” when off), Show “Powered by Smithworks” (default on; when off, the Smithworks attribution link is not output), Add Company Name, and optional Company Name text that overrides site_settings.company_name when non-blank. When the override is blank, the name comes from Settings → Marketing → Email → Configuration → Footer addresses (email footer)—not Account defaults → Company information. See First-Time Setup: 1b. Marketing: Email footer (copyright name). The same footer record supplies address and country for SW SEO Schema (JSON-LD Organization).

Other modules in the global footer: On standard Smithworks themes, SW Footer Simple usually sits in the same global footer drag-and-drop area as optional modules such as SW Popup Panel or SW CTA Popup. Add those via Edit global content → SW Global Site Footer (see SW Popup Panel → Site-wide: global footer (content editor)), not inside SW Footer Simple’s Content tab.

Module Structure

Content tab: Custom ID, Custom Classes → Logo → Navigation (Menu) → Buttons (repeater: Button Text, Link, Style; for Simple Link also Divider to the right, Custom link colors / Link Color / Link Hover Color; Button Size only for solid styles) → Rich Text Box (Content Area, Content style) → Social Icons (repeater) → Copyright Information (Add Copyright Line, Add Company Name, Company Name override, Show “Powered by Smithworks”) → Footer Links (repeater: Link Text, Link, Add Icon, Icon) → Back to Top (Enable, Override Colors, Background/Icon/Icon Hover) → Module Background Video (last; visible when Style → Background Option = Video).

Style tab: Module Settings → Module Background Settings → Content Colors → Footer Alignment (Alignment + Override Desktop/Tablet/Mobile).

Rendered order: The copyright row usually appears between social icons and footer links on the page even though Copyright Information follows Social Icons in the sidebar (intentional layout).

Copyright Information

Add Copyright Line (toggle, default on): When off, the module does not output ©, the year, the company name segment, or the separator dot before “Powered by Smithworks.”

Show “Powered by Smithworks” (toggle, default on): When off, the Smithworks attribution link is not rendered. When on, it appears according to the same link-color rules as other footer links (subject to Add Copyright Line for the middle dot between copyright text and powered-by when both rows are present).

Add Company Name (toggle, default on; visible when copyright line is on): When off, no name appears after the year.

Company Name (text): Optional override. Blank = HubSpot site_settings.company_name from the marketing email footer (1b). Non-blank replaces that value for this module instance.

Content Colors

Text Color: Footer content text. Theme defaults, Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, White, Black, Dark, Light, Custom (with Custom Text Color hex). Default: Theme defaults.

Link Colors: One dropdown for link contrast: Theme Defaults (auto), On Dark Background, On Light Background. Applies to rich text links, navigation menu links, Footer Links repeater items, and the Smithworks attribution link. Matches sw-master field styles.content_colors.link_context.

Back to Top

Content → Back to Top: Enable Back to Top (default ON). When enabled: floating button appears after scrolling 600px; hidden when within 20px of top. Centered at bottom of viewport with 10px clearance. Spacer div (4.5rem) added at bottom of footer so button never covers content. Smooth scroll to top on click. Override Colors: When ON, set Background Color, Icon Color, Icon Hover Color. Default when not overridden: dark background (#1a1a1a), white icon.

Configuration Reference

Module Settings (Style, first group): Spacing (default 50px top/bottom, 25px left/right), Max Module Width (Default/Small/Large/Full Width/Custom), Module height groups.

Module Background Settings: Background Option (Theme Color, Custom Color, Gradient, Image, Video). New instances: Theme Color with White selected.

Content Colors: Text Color (footer text); Link Colors (single control for all footer links as above).

Footer Alignment: Alignment (left/center/right) for XL; Override Desktop/Tablet/Mobile with per-breakpoint alignment. All content blocks (logo, menu, buttons, social, copyright, links) follow footer alignment.

Social Icons: Presets Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Custom. Override Colors for custom icon and hover colors. When OFF, icons follow Content Colors → Link Colors (same tokens as Privacy / Legal-style links). HubSpot icon fields output a wrapper + SVG; the module CSS sizes that output so glyphs are visible with fill: currentColor on the SVG.

Footer Links: Link Text, Link, Add Icon, Icon (position: Left/Right/Icon Only). Icon Only shows only the icon; link text becomes aria-label.

Copyright Information: Add Copyright Line, Add Company Name, Company Name (override), Show “Powered by Smithworks”. Fallback for blank override: Settings (gear) → Marketing → Email → Configuration → Footer addresses → email footer company name → site_settings.company_name. Account defaults → Company information does not drive that token.

Common Tasks (“How Do I…”)

• Add contact-style text links in Buttons → Content → Buttons → set Button Style = Simple Link. Links use theme Link colors by default. Optional: Divider to the right for a middle-dot separator; Custom link colors for per-item Link Color / Link Hover Color pickers. Button Size is hidden for Simple Link.
• Enable/disable Back to Top → Content → Back to Top → Enable Back to Top.

• Remove ©, year, name, and dot before Powered by → Content → Copyright Information → Add Copyright Line = OFF.
• Hide the Smithworks attribution link → Content → Copyright Information → Show “Powered by Smithworks” = OFF.
• Keep © and year but hide company name → Content → Copyright Information → Add Company Name = OFF.
• Override company name in this footer only → Content → Copyright Information → Company Name (non-blank).
• Set fallback name when override is blank → Settings (gear) → Marketing → Email → Configuration → Footer addresses → create or edit email footer; set company name. Feeds site_settings.company_name. Not Account defaults → Company information. Full steps: 1b. Marketing: Email footer (copyright name).

Use this document when: The user asks about the two-band Smithworks global footer (upper brand/content row + lower legal/social row), Logo Positioning, Content Alignment, copyright / Powered by Smithworks, or custom social icons in SW Footer Simple 02.

Overview

SW Footer Simple 02 is an alternate global footer layout shipped on some Smithworks themes (including certain starter themes). The upper band combines a Bootstrap logo column with a content column for navigation, rich text, and optional CTA buttons. The lower band carries copyright, optional “All rights reserved,” simple links, optional accent copy, and social icons. Content → Logo Positioning sets logo column width on medium screens and up and vertical alignment of the content column next to a taller logo. Style → Content Alignment controls left/center/right alignment for the menu, tagline, and buttons (with breakpoint overrides where configured); very small screens stay centered.

Copyright Information includes the same Show “Powered by Smithworks” toggle (default on) as SW Footer Simple after 2026.04.22.21.19. Social Icons support presets or Custom HubSpot icons; Override Colors pins icon and hover colors. When override is off, icons follow Content Colors → Link Colors.

HubSpot video & file uploads (plans and limits)

This module can use a video background when Style → Module Background Settings → Module Inner Background Options = Video. Source and poster are on Content → Module Background Video.

• HubSpot Video: May require Marketing Video features depending on tier.
• Video from files: File Manager uploads; typical per-file limits on lower tiers—compress or use External embed if needed.
• External embed: YouTube/Vimeo-style URLs.

HubSpot’s limits and SKUs change over time—verify current rules for your portal in HubSpot’s help center.

In this section: Default state· HubSpot video & file uploads· Purpose and When to Use· Related Modules· Configuration Reference· Common Tasks· Document Version

Purpose and When to Use

SW Testimonials outputs client quotes in a stack or multi-column grid, with optional section Headings above and Buttons below (both repeaters default empty). Each row has rich text for the full quote, optional plain-text Summary override for the short view, and author fields (optional image, name, title, company). Quotes are transparent by default; optional Quote card wraps quote + author when enabled (Color, Effect with rim, or None). When Content → Read more labels → Enable read more is on and the content warrants it, visitors see an excerpt and a read-more control: Tooltip / popup (default dialog) or Inline expand. Optional Cards-style slider when overflow is on. Style uses the standard Module Outer / Module Inner pattern with Aurora, Outer Animated, Inner Effect, and Hero-style Image stacks (Cover / Contain).

Don’t use SW Testimonials when: You need a card grid with icons and per-card buttons—use SW Cards. You need image beside long-form content with bullets—use SW Pillar Section.

Related Modules

Module	Relationship
SW Cards	Grid/slider cards with optional buttons—similar slider overflow pattern; different content model.
SW Pillar Section	Two-column narrative sections, not a quote list.
SW Button	Same solid button style names for read more (plus Simple Link as text).
SW CTA Simple Bar	Reference for Module Outer / Inner Style layering.

Configuration Reference

Content: Headings repeater (State 3, empty by default). Testimonials repeater (rich text body, summary override, image, name, title, company). Read more labels (enable toggle, read more / read less labels when enabled). Button Alignment + Buttons repeater (empty by default; Header Simple extras: Icon Spacing, Hide Button Text, Override Button Margins). Module Background Video when Inner Background = Video. Aurora / Animated Custom SVG Content fields when configured.

In this section: Default state· Purpose and When to Use· Module Structure· Configuration Reference· Common Tasks· When to Use Custom CSS· Appendix· Document Version

Purpose and When to Use

The SW Text Headings module provides:

• Heading repeater for one or more headings with independent size, display size, color, alignment, padding overrides, and responsive display overrides.
• Background options including theme color, custom color, gradient, responsive images, or video background (HubSpot Video, video file, or external embed).
• Module Settings and Module Background Settings per Module Settings and Background Standards (spacing, max width, minimum height with Default/Custom/Full Screen, and vertical alignment).

Use it for simple hero banners, section separators, or heading-only rows with optional background imagery or video.

Module Structure (What You See on the Page)

1. Module wrapper — Full-width container with optional background and spacing.
2. Background (optional) — Image/Color/Gradient/Video based on Module Background Settings.
3. Headings — One or more heading items rendered in order.

Configuration Reference

The module has Content and Style tabs. Group and field names match the HubSpot editor.

Content Tab

• Custom ID / Custom Classes — Optional.
• Headings (repeater) — Heading text/HTML, semantic Size, Display Size, Color/Custom Color, Align (default: Center), Override Padding (Top/Bottom), CSS Class; Override Text Alignment (Tablet), Text Alignment (Tablet), Override Text Alignment (Mobile), Text Alignment (Mobile); Override Tablet Display Size, Tablet Display Size, Override Mobile Display Size, Mobile Display Size.
• Module Background Video — Always last. Visible when Style → Module Background Settings → Background Option = Video. Video Type (HubSpot Video, Video from files, External Embed), HubSpot Video, Video File, External Embed, Poster image. Overlay, base color, and playback toggles (Autoplay, Loop, Muted, Plays Inline) are in Style tab when Video. See Module Settings and Background Standards.

Style Tab

• Module Settings (first) — Spacing, Max Module Width, module height groups (XL + Desktop/Tablet/Mobile overrides), vertical alignment. Minimum Height choices: Default (content height), Custom Height, Full Screen.
• Module Background Settings (second) — Background Option (Theme Color, Custom Color, Gradient, Image, Video) with responsive image groups and color/gradient fields. When Video: overlay, base color, playback toggles (Autoplay, Loop, Muted, Plays Inline) here; source and poster in Content tab.

Common Tasks (“How Do I…”)

• Change heading text or size → Content → Headings (repeater) → Heading, Size, Display Size.
• Adjust heading alignment or color → Content → Headings → Align, Color (or Custom Color). Align sets text-align on the heading itself, so wrapped lines on Center / Right headings center / right-align as expected (no longer fall back to the theme’s default text-align: left when text wraps to multiple lines).
• Set module to content height → Style → Module Settings → XL Module Height → Minimum Height = Default.
• Make hero full screen → Style → Module Settings → Minimum Height = Full Screen (use overrides for tablet/mobile if needed).
• Change heading alignment on tablet/mobile → Content → Headings → Override Text Alignment (Tablet) ON for 768–991px screens, or Override Text Alignment (Mobile) ON for ≤767px screens (covers all viewports narrower than 768px, including XS). When an override is OFF, the next-larger breakpoint cascades down (Mobile inherits from Tablet, Tablet inherits from Default).
• Add video background → Style → Module Background Settings → Background Option = Video (overlay, base, playback here), then Content → Module Background Video (source, poster).
• Change background image → Style → Module Background Settings → Background Option = Image and set responsive images.
• Change spacing → Style → Module Settings → Spacing.

When to Use Custom CSS

Use custom CSS when the change cannot be done via Content or Style fields (e.g. special typography or custom spacing rules). Add overrides in your theme’s custom-styles.css and target the selectors below.

Appendix: CSS Classes and Selectors

Element	Class(es)	Notes
Module wrapper	.sw-text-headings	Plus custom_classes if set; id = Custom ID if set. Modifiers: .sw-text-headings--has-bg-image, .sw-text-headings--has-bg-video.
Inner container	.sw-text-headings__inner	Max width and alignment container.
Headings wrapper	.sw-text-headings__headings	Wraps heading repeater.
Heading	.sw-text-headings__heading	Also includes .heading class. Receives text-align: var(--th-text-align-default, left) with --th-text-align-md / --th-text-align-sm cascading at @media (max-width: 991.98px) and @media (max-width: 767.98px); the wrapper .sw-text-headings__heading-wrap applies the matching justify-content cascade for short single-line headings.
Video wrapper	.sw-text-headings__video-wrap	Background video wrapper.

Module Settings (Style tab, first group)

Standard fields in order: Spacing (margin/padding), Max Module Width (Default, Small, Large, Full, Custom; when Custom, set pixels), then height groups with vertical alignment.

Height groups: XL Module Height (breakpoint 1200px+), then Override Desktop Height (992–1199px), Override Tablet Height (768–991px), Override Mobile Height (≤767px). Each group has:

• Minimum Height — Choices: Default (no min-height; content dictates height), Custom Height (then set Height in px), Full Screen (100vh minus header).
• Height (px) — Visible only when Minimum Height = Custom Height.
• Vertical Alignment — Top, Middle, or Bottom for that breakpoint.

Spacing note: Module Settings spacing applies to the module wrapper. When no padding is set, use no padding (no default 25px). In modules with a flex layout and an inner content wrapper (e.g. SW Button), padding may apply to the inner wrapper; margin applies to the outer. When a module has multiple spacing fields (e.g. Text Box Padding), each applies to its intended target only.

Module Background Settings (Style tab, second group)

Background Option — Theme Color, Custom Color, Gradient, Image, or Video. When Image: responsive image groups (XL, then Override Desktop/Tablet/Mobile) with image, overlay, base color, Background Position (named or Custom from edge), Background Repeat (No Repeat, Tile, Repeat Horizontally, Repeat Vertically), and Background Size (Cover, Contain, Stretch to Fill, Natural Size). These map to standard CSS background-position, background-repeat, and background-size; for full behavior see MDN background-size, background-position, background-repeat or the module’s downloadable doc. When Color/Custom/Gradient: use the corresponding color or gradient fields. When Video: overlay, base color, and playback toggles (Autoplay, Loop, Muted, Plays Inline) appear here; configure the video source and poster in the Content tab (Module Background Video group).

Module Background Video (Content tab, last group only)

Visible when Style → Module Background Settings → Background Option = Video. Content tab fields:

• Video Type — HubSpot Video, Video from files, or External Embed.
• HubSpot Video / Video File / External Embed — Depending on Video Type.
• Poster image — Optional placeholder before video loads.

Style tab (when Video): Background Color Overlay, Background Base Color, and playback toggles (Autoplay, Loop, Muted, Plays Inline).

Key field names (for implementers)

Group names: module_settings, module_background_settings, background_video_settings. Key fields: spacing, max_module_width, module_height_xl_group (and lg/md/sm groups), background_option, video_source_type. Labels may vary by theme; these names keep templates and CSS working.
