By the Numbers / Fast Facts – PC Custom Blocks
Overview
The By the Numbers block creates a full-width panel which typically accepts three numbers, and then some descriptive text. It accepts numbers (which are displayed in large type at the top of the column) with smaller size text underneath. There’s also a large background image or color block as a background.
New in Spring 2026: The By The Numbers block now supports images, as well as text, in what has historically been the “number” field. To use an image instead of a number, select the block, and choose “Number” or “Image” from the dropdown for each column (default is number). Choosing image inserts a placeholder, which you can then replace with an image from your Media Library. NOTE: Images used in this block should be SQUARE ONLY, and should be 63px by 63px. The ideal use case is replacing the number with an icon, arrow, or other one-color indicator.

Is there anything else I should know about this block?
- You are able to change the color of the background, or use an image as a background.
- If you use an image, you may also want to use the image transparency slider. Text laid over images can be very hard to read; transparency can help to preserve the contrast between the text and the background image.
- You can also change the color of the text in the block.
