Three Column Grid

About this block

Three Column Grid packs six projects into a tight three-column layout with square thumbnails and minimal captions, name and year only, no role line. A Full archive link sits at the heading level so a visitor who wants more knows immediately where to go. The tighter gap and square crop give the grid a different feel from the featured layout: breadth first, depth available via click.

Projects are one lean array with just name and year. Dropping the role line is the distinctive choice: it keeps the grid scannable at a glance and defers the qualifying detail to the project page, where it has room to breathe.

When to use

Reach for this block as the condensed work section of a homepage that leads with a hero, or as the top of a full work page that links to an archive. The installer swaps the six project names and years and points the tiles to real project pages.

A natural flow around it on a Portfolio Pro page:

Before

• Name and role hero

After

• Archive grid
• About split

What you can display

One strong use is the selected-work overview on a minimal homepage. Other three-column uses:

• Photography index. Square crops work well for series-based photographic work where the image carries meaning without a role line.
• Product gallery. Physical products shown in square studio shots with name and year as the only metadata.
• Illustration index. A style-led grid where the work speaks first.

Tip: the square crop disciplines image selection, if a piece does not read well square it probably should not lead a tile at all.
