Responsive Full Width Tabs

From our sponsor: Get personalized content recommendations to make your emails more engaging. Sign up for Mailchimp today.

A full width tab component with some example media queries for adjusting the icons of the tabs and the content layout. The main idea is to show only icons for the mobile view and allow the text to appear when there’s enough space. The content columns and the containing media boxes have three different layouts.

The food shapes in the content images are from PsdBlast. The icons used in the tabs are by DesignModo and the icon font was created using the Icomoon App.
