Hero · Floating people

Intro (H1, lead, button) beside three round photos of people, each with a small floating bubble: what they offer and their name. Each person is a link.

Full-page views: desktop, phone and dark mode

At 1440px wide.

With your site in dark mode.

See it live: Hero · Floating people on fancybricks.co — the live preview, and the button that copies it.

In the builder

Preview on the front end. Scripts don't run inside the builder, so here you only see the layout: the bubbles do not float here and the pause button is hidden (the builder does not run the code). Save and open the page to see the full result.

Structure

This is what the Bricks Structure panel shows after you paste the template. Component instances say which component they are.

The template also pastes a dashed note above the section, with the short version of this page. It only shows inside the builder, never on the published page — see Builder notes.

How to adjust

Every step is the same move: pick the element in the Structure panel, change its Properties.

Where are those panels?

How to adjust a template shows every one of them in a screenshot of the real builder: the Structure and Properties panels, the classes on an element, a component's style families and the field where a CSS variable goes.

The classes this element carries, in the Bricks panel.

This template's own component, with its Style group open.

1. Paste the template in Bricks first — see Copy and paste.
2. Select Intro (FBK Intro) › Properties: Eyebrow, Hide eyebrow, Title, Title level, Lead, Hide lead · Style group: Eyebrow style, Highlight, Title size, Accent line · Layout group: Alignment, Layout, Background, Spacing · Motion group: Reveal in slider.
3. Select Button (FBK Button) › Properties: Text, Link, Tone, Shadow on hover · Icon group: Icon, Icon position · Style group: Style, Size, Width, Hover effect.
4. Spacing, sizes, color and timing with no property of their own: the CSS variables below.

CSS variables

These are the only values in the template meant to be changed by hand. Copy the block, paste it, edit the numbers.

The Custom CSS field of this template's own element, with one of its variables as a real example.

/* «People + pause» · class .fbk-floatpeople */
.fbk-floatpeople {
  /* Floating: one bob and how high it goes; the corner of each photo that
     points to its bubble */
  --fbk-t-float-time: 3s;
  --fbk-t-float-height: 0.5em;
  --fbk-t-corner: var(--radius);
  /* Hover: how much the photo grows */
  --fbk-t-zoom: var(--fbk-zoom);
}

Paste the block in the element's Style → CSS field (the selector is already in it), or set the same variables on the class itself to change every copy at once. The values are your framework's variables, so they follow your site: Choosing a framework.

Requirements

• Code execution. Needs "Execute code" enabled for the role in Bricks → Settings → Custom code, or the JS block shows as plain text instead of running.

What each requirement is, and how to set it up once for the whole site: Requirements.

Finish by hand

• Replace the three photos (square, at least 600 px), the bubble texts and each person's link.
• Floating and the hover (the round photo turns into a rounded square and grows) live in .fbk-floatpeople--motion (remove that class for still bubbles and photos). The button's hover is the FBK Button effect Sweep. The pause button is required while they float (WCAG 2.2.2); it needs "Execute code".
• Where each bubble sits and which corner of each photo is square: .fbk-floatpeople__bubble and .fbk-floatpeople__photo (Style > CSS: li:nth-child(n) %root%).

On phones

The template is designed desktop first, the Bricks default, and only changes at the two widths the library uses:

• 991px and below — .fbk-intro.
• 767px and below — .fbk-floatpeople__bubble, .fbk-section.

Those changes live in Bricks' own breakpoint fields, so you edit them where you always do: pick the breakpoint in the toolbar and the same fields follow.

Careful with the classes shared by the whole library (fbk-section, fbk-intro, the component classes): a change there shows up in every template that uses them.

If your site's breakpoints are set up mobile first, copy the mobile-first variant of the template instead — see Copy and paste.

Accessibility

In this template, keyboard focus is visible on every interactive piece; movement is cut back when the visitor's system asks for less motion; the state screen readers need is already set (aria-hidden, aria-label).

What is checked on every template, and what depends on your own palette: Accessibility.

Dark mode

With your site in dark mode this section turns dark too — the class fbk-section--auto-dark on the section does it. Remove the class to keep it light.

Its background is a modifier on the section, so you can swap it for any of the ones the template is checked with: fbk-section--soft, fbk-section--light, fbk-section--dark.

How the library follows your site's color scheme: Dark mode and preview.
