Adding a working accordion to your site takes just a few steps once you have the generated code in hand.
Step-by-Step: Generating and Adding Your Accordion
- Decide how many sections you need and what each section's title and content will be.
- Configure the accordion in the generator — number of items, styling preferences if offered.
- Copy the generated HTML and paste it into your page where the accordion should appear.
- Copy the generated CSS into your stylesheet, or an inline
<style>block if you're working on a simple page. - Replace the placeholder text with your actual section titles and content.
A Few Things Worth Checking After Pasting
- Class name conflicts: if your site already has CSS classes with the same names as the generated ones, rename them to avoid unexpected style clashes.
- Content length: test with your actual (potentially longer) content, not just the short placeholder text, to confirm the expand/collapse transition still looks right.
- Keyboard accessibility: click-test with your keyboard (Tab and Enter/Space) as well as your mouse, to confirm the accordion remains usable without a mouse.
No Build Step Required
Because the output is plain HTML and CSS, there's nothing to compile, bundle, or install. It works the same way in a static HTML file, a WordPress custom HTML block, or as part of a larger framework-based project — paste the markup and styles, and it functions immediately.
