You can display easily your images with a nicely hover effect. See the examples below.
In each example, I include the CSS class "effect-image-X" for the effect and the class "one-half" and "one-half last" to obtain 2 columns (see the page Column layout here).
Important : Be careful with the content inside each images. The images will be smaller in phone so you must write only few words. And if you display 2 images per lines (like on this page), it's more critical. You must resize your browser to look the result. The effect 3, 5 and 6 are more compliant.
