What to change first

  1. Replace the portrait photograph.
  2. Rewrite the display heading and supporting paragraph.
  3. Replace the compact feature line with three real benefits.

The signature moment

Large image with text overlapping its side

The photograph owns 58% of the band. An inverted panel crosses its right edge by up to 5rem. Below the core columns breakpoint the panel follows the image at full width and the horizontal overlap becomes zero.

Theme handoff

What comes from where

From your theme

Typefaces, heading leading, the medium body-text size, spacing rhythm, and button shape and colours come from the theme. Base and contrast chains end in WordPress's guaranteed white and black presets. Eyebrows use the optional label role before falling back to contrast.

Set by this pattern

The photograph's crop, the overlap, a 1240px outer measure, fluid side padding and the text panel's reading measure. All visible copy sits on opaque base or contrast panels. Photographs are reviewed CC0 images from the WordPress Photo Directory and travel with the copied pattern.

Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast

What it inherits from your theme

Typefaces, heading leading, the medium body-text size, spacing rhythm, and button shape and colours come from the theme. Base and contrast chains end in WordPress's guaranteed white and black presets. Eyebrows use the optional label role before falling back to contrast.

What it decides for itself

The photograph's crop, the overlap, a 1240px outer measure, fluid side padding and the text panel's reading measure. All visible copy sits on opaque base or contrast panels. Photographs are reviewed CC0 images from the WordPress Photo Directory and travel with the copied pattern.

Display type

The heading is display type, a bare clamp composed against the large image. The short feature line is a tracked label. Body paragraphs follow the medium ladder with a 1.6 line-height; uppercase labels use a fluid 15–16px size. Headings state their own ink colour and inherit their face and leading.

Contrast

Copy targets 4.5:1; large display headings target 3:1. Opaque panels keep image detail out of the text background. The verification sheet measures all three authoring themes.

Technical notesBlock mechanics, responsive behaviour and constraints

Responsive behaviour

The photograph owns 58% of the band. An inverted panel crosses its right edge by up to 5rem. Below the core columns breakpoint the panel follows the image at full width and the horizontal overlap becomes zero. The section has fluid horizontal padding and no fixed height. Check long replacement headings at 390px as well as desktop.

Blocks and editing

Core blocks only; no companion plugin, custom CSS or script is required. Replace the photos through the Image block and update their alt text. Set real destinations on the action links before publishing.

The markup

5.2KB of core-block markup, 6 blocks (column, columns, group, heading, image, paragraph), and nothing else: paste it into the block editor and it becomes editable blocks wearing your theme.
