What is a Box Hover Widget
A Box Hover Widget is a user interface element that adds interactivity to boxes or sections on your web page. When a user hovers their mouse cursor over the box, additional content or functionality appears. This can be a great way to display hidden information, showcase product details on hover, or create call-to-action buttons that become visible only on interaction.
Benefits of Using a Box Hover Widget

- Saves Space: By keeping content hidden until hovered upon, you can maintain a clean and clutter-free layout, especially beneficial for pages with a lot of information.
- Improved Information Delivery: Hovering can reveal additional details or descriptions without overwhelming users with upfront text.
- Targeted Calls to Action: Use hover effects to display prominent CTAs (call to action) buttons or links, encouraging user interaction.
