 * Hi! WP rookie here: I need some help to set up a simple Start page consisting
   of 1) a static background (a photo) covering the entire Start page. 2) Add a 
   static text readable on the background pic.
 * Best regards!

 * Hi [@boktoken](https://wordpress.org/support/users/boktoken/).
   This is possible
   in WordPress, but the exact steps depend on the theme you are using.
 * In general, you can create a page and:
    1. Set a full-width background image that covers the entire page.
    2. Add a Heading block or Text block on top of the image.
    3. Adjust the text color, size, and background overlay to ensure it remains readable.
 * If you are using the Block Editor, you can achieve this with a **Cover block**:
    - Add a Cover block.
    - Upload your background image.
    - Set the image to cover the entire area.
    - Add your text inside the Cover block.
    - Adjust the overlay and text color as needed.
