how to overlay text on image(linked) for wordpress using css, html

Question

I am making my shopping website with wordpress. Now I am making front page. I want to put some image on the page which is linked to product detail page(or any other page i want).

The main question is... I want to overlay some text on image which is responsive just as the image. I found a lot of answers for text-image overlay. However, it were not helpful because I need to add some text on 'linked' image, and I want to make the whole image area are clickable include the added text.

Every solution should be responsive one of course.

The below example is exactly what I want: http://www.glasses.com/

Answer 1

A very clean solution for your problem, with 4 kind of text-overlay positioning.

<div class="module top">
  <h2>Skyscrapers</h2>
</div>

<div class="module mid">
  <h2>Skyscrapers</h2>
</div>

<br style="clear: both;">

<div class="module cap">
  <p>Skyscraper are really neat and stuff because they are tall.</p>
</div>

<div class="module lr">
  <p>Skyscrapers sometimes have nicknames like jim or shim.</p>
</div>
