Description

Usually websites add a background to some sections/elements to spice things up.

But that's really hard for normal people (like me) to get it right. And it usually involves some tweaks on mobile etc. and depending on how much text is rendered etc. So I'm looking for a way to spice things up without background images.

This hero is pretty boring:

This is already better (add text highlight with accent color)

Image

Note, there's only one accent color. But some more colors could spice things up.

Image

Basically you would simply be able to add images between text/heading blocks, to add your 'decoration'. Since these images would be part of the flow, you don't need to worry about covering text etc.

So the proposal is: Use images to emphasize your brand. Just draw something in Paint, or let AI gerate some pattern and then you insert it either as a stand-alone image, or you decorate your photos to have some color overlays that represent your brand.
