What you change first
Replace the portraits, names, roles and biographies. Duplicate a complete profile group to add a person, keeping text lengths reasonably similar. Image blocks retain their chosen aspect ratio when you replace the source.
The signature moment
A compact face beside a full-height biography card
The small square portrait shares a row with the role; the name and biography then use the whole card width. That change of density distinguishes the cards from a conventional photograph-over-caption grid. The border makes the full profile a clear unit, and the inner portrait row stays compact even when the outer grid becomes a single mobile column.
Theme handoff
What comes from where
From your theme
The typeface, heading treatment and spacing scale belong to the host theme. Every colour uses a fallback chain. Text resolves to contrast on the page ground; no accent is used behind copy. Body copy targets 4.5:1 contrast; large display text has a 3:1 minimum. WordPress render checks measure the actual theme colours.

Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast
What it inherits from your theme
The typeface, heading treatment and spacing scale belong to the host theme. Every colour uses a fallback chain. Text resolves to contrast on the page ground; no accent is used behind copy. Body copy targets 4.5:1 contrast; large display text has a 3:1 minimum. WordPress render checks measure the actual theme colours.
Display type
Section headings use the x-large rung, names use large, and body copy uses medium, all with clamp fallbacks. Labels use a 0.875rem to 1rem clamp and 1.4 line height.
Technical notesBlock mechanics, responsive behaviour and constraints
What the buyer gets
Six bordered profile cards pair a small square face with a role, followed by a name and short biography. The section works without the companion plugin. Replace the example people, roles and copy directly in the block editor.
Responsive composition
The outer card grid reduces from three columns to two and then one. The small portrait and role keep their two-column arrangement inside each card, including on mobile. Each person’s photograph and name stay grouped. Review the full section at 1920, 1280, 820 and 390 pixels in serif and sans themes.
Included images
The portraits are generated examples and depict nobody real. Their public image URLs travel with the copied markup. Choose Replace to use your own people. Pasting a URL does not import a Media Library attachment. See image credits.
The markup
Core block markup and nothing else. Copy it, then paste it straight into the block editor: WordPress reads the delimiters and rebuilds the blocks.
