FAQ (Accordion) page template
Use the FAQ page template to display frequently asked questions on your website. These pages are often referred to as accordions because they are made up of multiple entries containing a heading/title, with content below that can be expanded or collapsed. Accordion pages make content-heavy pages appear less so.
