Frequently Asked Questions
How does the component handle content overflow within the fixed 320px height constraint if the service description exceeds the available vertical space?
The component utilizes a combination of 'overflow: hidden' on the primary card container and a 'line-clamp' CSS property on the description text. This ensures that the high information density is preserved without breaking the glassmorphism layout, while the 'flex-grow' property on the middle content block manages the white space between the radial glow header and the footer action.
Does the 'backdrop-filter: blur()' used for the glassmorphism effect cause visual artifacts or performance drops during the 180-degree flip transition?
To prevent flickering and maintain 60fps, the component applies 'will-change: transform' and 'backface-visibility: hidden' to both the front and back faces. This forces hardware acceleration, ensuring the blur effect remains stable as the card rotates through the 3D space defined by the 'perspective: 1000px' property on the parent wrapper.
How can the intensity and spread of the subtle radial glow header accent be modified without affecting the overall Inter typography legibility?
The glow is controlled via a pseudo-element ('::before') on the header container using a 'radial-gradient(circle, var(--glow-color) 0%, transparent 70%)'. You can adjust the '--glow-opacity' CSS variable or the percentage spread in the gradient function to sharpen or soften the light bleed without impacting the contrast ratio of the Inter font-family text.
Which specific CSS properties ensure that the glassmorphism 'frosted' look remains consistent when the card is in its lifted hover state?
The consistency is maintained through a transition on 'box-shadow' and 'transform: translateY(-8px)'. The 'background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1)' remains constant, but the 'backdrop-filter' is paired with a specific 'border: 1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2)' that acts as a 'rim light' to define the card edges against varying background colors during the lift.
Can the flexbox alignment be adjusted to support a 'centered' vertical layout for cards with minimal text without losing the premium spacing?
Yes, by modifying the 'justify-content' property from 'space-between' to 'center' and applying a 'gap' variable (e.g., 'gap: 1.5rem'). Because the card uses a fixed 320px height, the flexbox layout will automatically distribute the Inter-styled elements around the vertical center while the radial glow remains anchored to the top via absolute positioning.
