Can I add a background to a section that doesn't have one?
Not all sections of your page can include a background image -- this is mainly to keep your content clean and easy to read. In this case, background image sections are generally reserved for simple content like a big tagline. More about backgrounds.
(It's possible to use CSS to add a background as a workaround, but the ability to edit CSS is only available for Pro users. Email support@strikingly.com for more info).
How can I make my text more visible?
To make your text more visible, you can choose to have a dark overlay on your images, or use black/white text. We offer this option by default. Check out our overlay selections!
Note:
- We recommend using images with 1600 x 900 px for a more optimized view.
