Image with text

Two columns, side-by-side: an image and a text block. This is the most versatile Citera section — use it for brand story, feature explanations, guide entries, category intros, or anywhere you need to pair a photo with a paragraph.

Add the section

Add section → Image with text

Upload the image

Click Image → Select image. Aim for tall images — square (1:1) or portrait (4:5) work best because they match the side-by-side layout.

Write the heading

Same as any section — short and clear. E.g. “Made in small batches”, “The science behind the routine”.

Write the paragraph

One paragraph, roughly 30–80 words. Any longer and shoppers skip it.

Add a CTA button

Button label + Button link. Common: “Read more”, “Shop the collection”, “Get the guide”.

Save

Layout: image side

Click the section

Find Layout

Options:

Image left, text right (default)
Image right, text left

Alternate these across multiple Image-with-text sections on the same page — the zigzag pattern keeps the page visually interesting.

Image size ratio

Same panel, find Image ratio

Options:

Adapt to image — uses the natural aspect ratio of your uploaded image
Square (1:1) — crops to a square
Portrait (4:5) — crops taller than wide
Landscape (16:9) — crops wider (less common here)

Text column width

Same panel, find Text column width

Narrow — text fills less horizontal space, feels editorial
Wide (default) — text and image are 50/50
Fill — text takes 60%, image 40% (use if you have a lot to say)

Multiple text blocks in one section

If you want more than one heading+paragraph in the same section (e.g. for a short bullet list of features):

Click Image with text → Add block

Choose Text block

Add multiple text blocks. Each renders as its own paragraph or list item under the main heading.

Reorder

Drag blocks in the left panel.

Multicolumn — 3+ columns instead of 2
Story — long-form editorial content
