The people behind a company or service are just as important as the organisation itself. Bio and image sections help introduce individuals and teams, making it easier for visitors to connect with the people behind your organisation and build familiarity and trust.
This makes sections such as About Me, About Us, and Meet the Team especially useful on a microsite.
Zoomforth makes it easy to create these sections using pre-designed Bio and Image layouts. Each layout includes an image placeholder and an area for a caption or description.
Add an image to a Bio or Image section
Select a Bio and Image section layout.
Click the image placeholder.
The Media Selection modal will open.
Choose an image from your Media Library, or upload a new image from your local machine.
If required, use the image cropper to adjust how the image appears in the placeholder.
The available cropping options depend on the layout you have selected.
For more information about cropping images, see How to crop images.
Bio and Image layout designs
Bio and Image sections are available in two main designs: Standard and Rounded.
Standard
Standard layouts use square or rectangular image placeholders. Captions can appear either beside the image or below it, depending on the selected layout.
When you select an image, the native image cropper opens and provides the available cropping options for that placeholder.
Rounded
Rounded layouts use circular image placeholders, making them ideal for team member profiles, headshots, and other people-focused content.
Because the image is displayed within a circular placeholder, square or rectangular images may need to be cropped to fit the required shape.
For performance reasons, Zoomforth maintains a cache of previously used images for each supported tile size ratio, such as 1:1 and 3:4.
If the selected image is already cached at a matching ratio, Zoomforth uses the cached version.
If a matching cached version is not available, the image cropper opens so you can manually adjust the image.
This ensures that images are displayed correctly while helping pages load efficiently.
Choosing the right layout
Consider the type of content you are creating when selecting a layout:
Standard — Best suited for general image-and-text content, profiles, or sections where you want a traditional square or rectangular image.
Rounded — Ideal for team members, profiles, and other content where circular headshots create a more personal and consistent appearance.
Choosing a layout that matches your content helps create a more cohesive and engaging microsite.
