Using 1 Elements block per page - am I missing something here?

I am using Elements blocks to place hero images with 1 Elements block serving 1 or so pages so there is some variety in the hero images. Positioning the page-hero h1 and the menu / logo was tough when any change meant changing the top / bottom padding values for each Elements block so I added the following css for each @media section, which seems to work.

.page-hero {
padding-top: calc(5% + 100px) !important;
padding-bottom: 10% !important;
}

Question: Is this how the Elements blocks are supposed to be used? I know the theme used 1 Elements block for the homepage, 1 for all static pages and 1 for all posts. I am wondering if there was a simpler solution using page featured image as a hero image perhaps.

Hi Leo

The link etc is below in the private info block. The site is not live yet but is complete - I just need to action an SEO sweep then I am done. If there are lessons that I can learn from this GP site before moving onto the next then now would be a great time to learn those lessons.

Thanks

Bill

Is the Featured image option what you are looking for?

Thanks Leo - I had not seen the featured image option. For the future I should be able to use 1 Elements block to cover the whole site.
