Clarity
A single-column accordion using native expand and collapse — real open/close behaviour with no scripting.
FAQ section templates
An FAQ section exists to remove the last few reasons someone has not said yes. It is at its best when it answers the awkward questions — price, cancellation, limits — rather than the comfortable ones you would rather talk about.

A heading and support card on the left beside an accordion of questions on the right.

Questions and answers styled as an interview transcript, each question marked by a round Q badge.
Slate
The whole question set inside one elevated panel, divided into rows rather than separate cards.
How to choose a faq section
Accordions keep a long list scannable and let people find their own question, which suits eight or more entries. An open two-column grid shows every answer at once and reads faster when you only have a handful. If the questions are mostly support-related, a layout with a "still stuck, contact us" aside gives people somewhere to go when their question is not listed.

FAQ section FAQ
How many questions should an FAQ have?
Six to twelve is the usual range. Fewer suggests you have not listened to customers yet; many more usually means the FAQ is being used as a substitute for documentation, and the genuinely common questions get buried.
Should FAQ answers be collapsed by default?
With a long list, yes — collapsing keeps the page scannable. With four or five questions, leaving them open is faster to read and saves everyone a click. Either way the questions themselves should be visible without interaction.
Do FAQ sections help with search?
They match how people actually type questions into search engines, which is their main value. Marking them up as structured data also makes the answers machine-readable for AI assistants, even though dedicated FAQ rich results are now limited to a narrow set of sites.
