How to build a custom layout with multiple posts

Hello. I am trying to build a custom layout with multiple posts (3, with scrolling to get a few more) just below the header. How do I do this? Please see the image, I want to try something like this.
Hi there,
you would first need a plugin to display the posts.
WP Show Posts - free version will do just that:
https://wpshowposts.com
The premium beta version also has a carousel.
The plugin creates a list of Posts based on the querys you define and provides a Shortcode for displaying them. You can then use the Hook Element to add them into the theme templates:

Thanks. Let me try this out.
One of my main reasons for choosing GeneratePress was fast loading speeds. I hope third party plugins don’t bring that down.
WP Show Posts is also written by Tom ( Developer of GeneratePress ) so its lightweight as well. Just be mindful not to add too many posts to a page, as more requests lead to a slower site.
