Hero

JSThis component requires JavaScript.
With high visual emphasis, a Hero displays content and an action about a single subject.

A Hero is often used at the top of a Landing page layout, such as a homepage, campaign page or section index page.

A Hero does have the capability of carouseling multiple slide. However, analytics have shown that engagement significantly decreases after the first slide, so only carousel if necessary.

Usage

Dos

  • Use to call attention to the highest-priority among all content, such as a campaign, story or other call-to-action
  • Limit to one per page
  • Include a high-quality image
  • Strongly consider using the included Button as a call-to-action
  • Use the variant with scarlet background to convey a bold and energetic feel for a less formal audience
  • Use the variant with image on the right if the subject of the image faces left
  • Use the variant with image on the left if the subject of the image faces right

Don’ts

  • Don’t autoplay the slides when using a Carousel
  • Don’t use a Hero on a page that is not the homepage; If a high visual emphasis is needed, consider a Featured Card instead
