Hero section: slides and content boxes
Build any hero layout — card over image, editorial text on media, multiple text clusters — from slides, content boxes, and shared content blocks.
The Hero is a full-width media canvas, composed in three layers:
Hero (height, carousel)
└── Slide (desktop/mobile image or video, whole-slide link)
└── Content box (position on the canvas, color scheme, backdrop)
└── Text / Button / Group / ... (the content itself)
Hero section settings
| Setting | Options | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Height | Small / Medium / Large | Medium | Small ≈ 45% of the viewport, Medium ≈ 80%. Large fills the viewport exactly below the header and announcement bar — the classic full-screen opener |
With more than one slide, arrows and dot indicators appear automatically and the hero becomes a swipeable carousel (up to 5 slides).
Slide settings
A slide owns the media and nothing else — content lives in its boxes.
| Setting | Notes |
|---|---|
| Desktop image | The base image. Also used as the video poster when a video is set |
| Mobile image | Optional portrait crop shown on small screens instead of the desktop image |
| Video | Autoplays muted on a loop and replaces the images |
| Mobile video | Optional; plays instead of the desktop video on small screens |
| Link | Makes the whole slide clickable. Buttons inside content boxes stay on top and keep their own links |
The first slide is treated as the page's main image: it loads eagerly and is preloaded for the fastest possible first paint. Keep its media well-compressed.
Content box settings
A content box is a positioned cluster. A slide can hold several boxes, each anchored independently — that's how you get a headline top-left and a caption bottom-left on the same image.
| Setting | Options | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Horizontal position | Left / Center / Right | Left | |
| Vertical position | Top / Middle / Bottom | Middle | Nine anchor spots in total |
| Color scheme | any scheme | Scheme 1 | Colors the text (and the backdrop, when on) |
| Text backdrop | on / off | off | Paints the box with the scheme's background color, card-style |
Inside the box, add any content blocks. Blocks stack vertically with consistent spacing; use a Group for side-by-side arrangements.
Recipes
Classic card hero (Glossier-style) Slide → one Content box (Left / Middle, backdrop on) → Text (Eyebrow) + Text (Display) + Text (Normal) + Button.
Editorial text-on-media (Even Realities-style) Slide → one Content box (Right / Middle, backdrop off, a light-on-dark scheme) → Text (Display) + Text (Normal) + Button (Secondary).
Two independent clusters Slide → Content box (Left / Top, backdrop off) with a Display text, plus a second Content box (Left / Bottom) with a small Normal text. Headline up top, supporting caption pinned to the bottom.
Media-only slide Slide with images/video, a Link, and no boxes at all — the entire slide becomes the click target.
Adding a Slide or a Content box from the picker starts you with a pre-assembled example (text + button) rather than an empty shell — edit or delete the pieces you don't need.
