Full Screen Image Hero

Overview

Introduction: The Full Screen Image Hero component is a visually impactful section designed to cover the entire screen with a background image, headline, subheadline, description, and action buttons. This component is typically used as the first section on a page to immediately capture attention and set the tone for the content that follows.

Key Features:

  • Full-screen background image with customizable opacity overlay for readability and aesthetic impact.
  • Flexible content alignment (left, center, or right) and text alignment options.
  • Supports a headline, eyebrow text, description, and multiple buttons to enhance interactivity.
  • Customizable color scheme to match the website’s design, ensuring cohesive styling.

Best use cases

Examples of Effective Use:

  • Ideal for homepage intros or landing pages where a strong first impression is crucial.
  • Effective as a promotional banner or hero image for product launches or event announcements.
  • Useful for storytelling sections, where an immersive visual and headline can draw users into the site’s content.

How NOT to use this

Common Missteps:

  • Avoid using low-contrast or overly complex images that may detract from the text readability.
  • Do not overload the hero with too much text or too many buttons, as it may overwhelm users and dilute the main message.
  • Ensure that the content aligns with the image and overall theme of the page to maintain relevance and engagement.

FAQ, pro tips, and troubleshooting

  • Pro Tip: Choose an image with sufficient contrast or apply an overlay to make the text stand out for better readability.
  • Troubleshooting: If the text appears difficult to read, try adjusting the overlay opacity or choosing an image with fewer visual details.
