Image requirements unclear

I think there is a usability problem when it comes to setting up a new site:

  1. When some images are absent, the site looks broken. I think to resolve this, we just need to require images for many places, rather than trying to handle missing pieces.
  2. When I need to upload an image, there is no auto-resize, or indication of what size of an image I need to upload. The user doesn't know what to do. We should tell them the accepted size in text, and then strictly verify the uploaded image.

For example, the site here looks broken:

Screen_Shot_2023-04-06_at_4.17.27_PM

I uploaded these images to the About:

Screen_Shot_2023-04-06_at_4.17.35_PM

I have no idea what size of image / aspect ratio I am supposed to upload to make the site look right. We should require the images, and also require very specific sizes.
