How to add Image With Text section
- Step 1: Add a Section Settings section that allows you to control the global settings of the Image With Text section.
- Here you can define multi-column layouts, enable fullwidth, set the section's max-width, background color, global margin/padding, etc.
- Step 2: Add an Image With Text section (This provides you block-level configurations in addition to the global configuration level (via Section Settings above)
- Step 3: Set the Card Style. Generally, you can choose among three main styles:
- No card (Disable the card style)
- Card with text block outside the image: Default, Primary, Secondary
- Overlay (text block inside the image):
- Overlay - No mask
- Overlay - Text Center With Background
- Overlay - No mask + Text Center With Background
- Step 4: Insert the title, featured image, description, and CTA button.
- NOTE: For each section, Easy Content Builder lets you control the margin/padding at both the global level (via Section Settings) and block level (the Image With Text itself). Also, you might need to adjust the margin/padding of other sections you add before and after the Image With Text section too.
- Step 5: (Optional) Configure the animation and margin of the Image With Text section.

- Layout: Two Col: First Block Left, Remains Right
Step 2: The Image With Text configuration:

Use case 3: Hero banner with 3 CTAs buttons
We create a simple hero banner (view the live demo ) using Image With Text and Buttons blocks.
Note: The Image With Text block comes with one default CTA button. If you need multiple CTA buttons, you should use the Button block instead.
Here is the list of content blocks and associated configurations for this hero banner section:
Step 1: Add Section Settings block and configure as follows:
- Desktop Layout: Two Col: First Block Right, Remains Left.
- Mobile Layout: One Column
- Background image: Upload your hero banner (Recommended hero image width: between 1280 and 2500px; hero image height between 720 and 900px. Learn more about recommended image dimensions.)
- Parallax Animate: 450 (this setting is optional and available for the Pro plan only)
- Padding top: 250px
- Padding bottom: 150px
Step 2: Add Custom HTML block
Add a Custom HTML block and leave all configuration fields blank (no need to add any custom HTML code here).
The primary purpose of this step is to use this Custom HTML block as a blank column on the right of this hero banner section:
- The right column: an empty column (created by the Custom HTML block)
- The left column: displays the text and CTA button elements.
Step 3: Add Section Title block and fill in the Title, Tagline, and Description as you wish.
Step 4: Add a Button block and fill in the button's label, URL, and style.
