What is the Image Box widget?

The Image Box widget is a design element used to combine images with text creatively. The widget allows you to display an image alongside text. This combination effectively showcases features, services, or any other content where you need visual and text content.

You can customize the size, alignment, and spacing of the image and the text. Additionally, there are options to add overlays, hover effects, and animations for enhanced interactivity.
