It's no secret that "About Us" pages are great at driving clicks to your website. It is also this type of page that will emphasize the human part of the business behind the Website. Knowing this, we realize that it is important to pay attention to how we structure pages, what kind of information we share and how we create interactions.

One of the things you can do to improve the page experience is to provide a team members section that puts your employees in the spotlight. On top of that, you can add a biological hover effect to photos of team members using Divi's built-in options only.

This will allow you to save space on the page you are working on and create a hover interaction between you and your visiteurs.

In this tutorial, we'll show you, step by step, how to get there. Once you get the approach, you will be able to customize the design style to suit your own needs.

Let's go!
