The About section

A rich-text description with formatting, and how it appears on the card.

The About panel sits low on the Kard editor, between Links and Private, and it is the one place on the form built for sentences. Everything else is a field; this is where the paragraphs go.

Write what the one-liners can't carry: what you do, for whom, since when, and what happens when someone gets in touch. Short paragraphs and a list read better on a phone than one long block.

What the editor does

The Description box is a rich-text editor. Shape the text with bold, italics, links, lists, quotes and headings — the formatting is applied in place as you write, no markup to learn. Headings split a long story into sections; a list carries services or specialities better than a comma-chain.

It takes no attachments — files and images dropped into the editor are refused, by design. The card's picture has a panel of its own (Name, tagline, photo), and anything a visitor should carry away belongs with your documents (Attach documents).

How it reads on the card

On the Default layout the text appears under an "About" heading, after your links. Most other looks keep that title — Mohur calls it "The House", and the Links look runs the text under your tagline with no heading at all — but the words are the same words. On every look except Links, past 500 characters of plain text the rest folds behind "show more" until a visitor taps for it.

Good to know

On most looks only the first 500 characters show unprompted — the Links look shows the whole text. Lead with what must be read; the detail can live below the fold for whoever wants it.
