  Hi! I’d recommend using the Cover Block. We have a how-to here:
  https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/cover-block/

  First, you’ll add a new block by hitting the plus sign. Type cover to bring that block up.

  Then, add your images and text.

  You can also change the alignment to make it wider, or adjust the focus of the image so it doesn’t get cut off awkwardly on smaller screens. We include options for an overlay as well, so your text will always be easy to see.

  You’re also welcome to use the layouts / block patterns to get a predesigned template you can work with, then you can just replace the images and text and adjust as needed.

  Want to give that a go?
