Hero with Feature Tabs Preview — Clickable Tabs That Actually Swap the Preview

A product with several strong features has a real problem in the hero: pick one to show, and the others go unseen above the fold. This snippet solves it with clickable feature tabs — Analytics, Automation, Integrations, Security — where clicking a tab genuinely swaps a mock preview panel below it, each with distinct content, not just a static row of labels.
Real tab logic, not a decorative row
Every tab click runs a real state update: the clicked tab gets .active and aria-selected="true", every other tab loses both, and the matching panel (matched by a data-tab attribute against a ftp-panel-{name} class) gets .active while the rest lose it. Nothing here is faked with :hover or a CSS-only accordion — it's a genuine click-driven state machine with four possible states, and the ARIA role="tablist"/role="tab"/aria-selected attributes track that state for assistive tech too.
Each panel shows genuinely different mock content
Rather than swapping a headline and reusing the same layout, each of the four panels has its own distinct visual structure: Analytics shows a small CSS bar chart, Automation shows a horizontal workflow of connected nodes, Integrations shows a grid of tool-name tiles, and Security shows a checklist of compliance items. This variety is what sells the "one platform, every workflow" pitch — a visitor clicking through sees genuinely different capability, not the same box relabeled four times.
A subtle entrance on every switch
Each panel swap plays a short ftpFadeIn keyframe (opacity and a small translateY) rather than snapping in instantly, which gives the switch a sense of the new content actually arriving rather than the old content just disappearing. Because only the active panel is ever display: block, the layout never shows two panels stacked mid-transition.
Segmented-control tab styling
The tab row sits in a rounded grey pill container with individual tabs that get a white background and subtle shadow when active — the segmented-control pattern (iOS settings, macOS System Preferences) that makes the current selection unambiguous at a glance without needing an underline indicator.
Customizing it
Replace the four feature names, icons, and panel content with your own product's capabilities — keep each panel visually distinct so the tabs earn their click. Add a fifth tab by duplicating a .ftp-tab button and a matching .ftp-panel with a new data-tab/class pair; the click handler works for any number of tabs since it iterates over whatever's present in the DOM.
Step by step
How to Use
- 1Paste the HTML, CSS, and JSA hero renders with four feature tabs and an Analytics preview panel showing by default.
- 2Click a different tabThe tab's active state updates, and the preview panel swaps to that tab's distinct mock content with a fade-in.
- 3Check the ARIA stateInspect aria-selected on the tabs — it updates in sync with the visual active state.
- 4Replace the panel contentEdit each .ftp-panel-{name} block to show your product's real feature preview.
- 5Add or remove a tabDuplicate a .ftp-tab and its matching .ftp-panel with a consistent data-tab value.
- 6Retheme itSwap the purple accent and dark panel background for your brand colors.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's real click-driven JavaScript. Clicking a tab runs a function that toggles the .active class and aria-selected attribute across all tabs, and toggles .active on the matching panel by comparing each panel's class against the clicked tab's data-tab attribute. No hover state is involved — the selection persists until another tab is clicked.
A row of tabs that all reveal the same box with different text doesn't demonstrate breadth — it just relabels one thing four times. Giving Analytics a bar chart, Automation a workflow diagram, Integrations a tile grid, and Security a checklist makes each click show genuinely different product surface, which is what actually sells a "does everything" pitch.
Duplicate a .ftp-tab button with a new data-tab value (for example "reporting"), and duplicate a .ftp-panel div with a matching ftp-panel-reporting class alongside ftp-panel. The existing click handler works for any number of tabs since it queries all .ftp-tab and .ftp-panel elements at load time and matches them by the shared name.
The tab container has role="tablist", each tab has role="tab" with aria-selected kept in sync with the actual visual state, and tabs are real <button> elements so they're keyboard-focusable and clickable via Enter/Space by default. For full tab-panel accessibility, you'd also add aria-controls on each tab pointing to its panel's id and arrow-key navigation between tabs — a reasonable next step to layer on.
Hold the active tab name in state (a string like "analytics"). Each tab's onClick sets that state; each panel's visibility class is derived by comparing its own name to the state value. Bind aria-selected the same way. The panel content, fade-in animation, and tab styling all port unchanged as static markup and CSS.
Build with AI
Build, Understand, Optimize, and Extend It With AI
You don't have to wire up the tab-and-panel matching logic from scratch. Paste this snippet's HTML, CSS, and JS into an AI coding assistant like Claude and ask it to explain how the data-tab attribute on each tab button gets matched against each panel's class name to decide which one becomes active, and why giving each panel a genuinely distinct layout (chart, workflow, grid, checklist) makes the feature pitch more convincing than reusing one box with swapped text. The same assistant can help you round out the accessibility — ask it to add aria-controls linking each tab to its panel's id, and arrow-key navigation between tabs per the WAI-ARIA tabs pattern. It's also useful for extending the interaction: ask it to auto-advance through the tabs on a timer if the visitor hasn't interacted yet, or to deep-link the active tab to a URL hash so it can be shared or bookmarked. Treat the code less like a finished artifact and more like a starting point for a conversation.

Build a marketing hero with clickable feature tabs and a swapping preview panel in plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — no framework, no tab library.
Requirements:
- A centered hero with a badge, headline, subheading, and below that a row of four tab buttons styled as a segmented control (a rounded grey pill container, with the active tab getting a white background and subtle shadow), each with a small icon and label.
- Below the tabs, a preview area that shows exactly one panel at a time based on which tab is selected. Give each of the four panels a genuinely distinct visual layout representing a different feature (for example: a small CSS bar chart for an analytics panel, a horizontal flow of connected steps for an automation panel, a grid of labeled tiles for an integrations panel, and a checklist with checkmark icons for a security/compliance panel) — not the same box with different text.
- Implement real click-driven tab switching in JavaScript: clicking a tab must update that tab's active/selected visual state and aria-selected attribute, clear those states from the other tabs, and toggle visibility so only the matching panel is shown, matched via a shared data attribute between each tab and its panel.
- Use proper ARIA tab semantics: role="tablist" on the tab container, role="tab" on each tab button, and aria-selected kept accurate on every click, not just set once at load.
- Give the panel a short fade/slide-in CSS keyframe animation that plays every time the visible panel changes, so a switch feels like new content arriving rather than snapping in instantly.
- Make it responsive: the tab row should wrap or shrink gracefully on narrow screens without breaking the segmented-control look.Want to tighten it up first?
