Static panel

The surface recipe for non-interactive panels — stats, settings, feature boxes.
Updated 19d ago
Hero section
Form layout
4 min · Pattern
The static panel recipe is the most reused surface pattern in Once UI — for stats, settings sections, feature boxes, and pricing tiers that aren't clickable.

When to use

Use a static panel when content sits inside a bordered surface but nothing is clickable:
  • Feature comparison columns
  • Settings sections
  • Stats blocks
  • Non-interactive pricing tier boxes
For clickable tiles, use Card with href or onClick instead — see Highlighted card.

The recipe

Five props define the look:
Prop
Value
Role
`background``"surface"`Elevated panel fill
`border``"neutral-alpha-weak"`Subtle edge
`radius``"l"`Rounded corners
`padding``"24"`Inner breathing room
`gap``"16"`Space between children

Grid of panels

Place multiple panels in a responsive row: Use fill on each panel so they share width equally in a row.

Write this / not this

✅ Once UI way
❌ Common mistake
`Column` + surface props`Card` without `href` or `onClick`
`background="surface"`Hex background color
`border="neutral-alpha-weak"``border: 1px solid #eee`
`gap="16"` inside panelRandom margin on each child

Variations

Need
Adjust
Tighter panel`padding="16"`, `gap="12"`
Stronger border`border="neutral-medium"`
No border`border="transparent"`
Full-width stripDrop `radius`, use `paddingX="24" paddingY="32"`

Check yourself

  • Panel is a Column, not a Card
  • All five surface props are set
  • Inner gap is "16" or "24"
