Hero
Creating Components
What is a Hero component?
The Hero component gives you the ability to create a block that is full width, with a call to action link, and a link to media. The Hero Banner is ideal for home pages. You are able to add multiple images and have a stationary text box. We recommend using a maximum of four images so the Hero component does not become too busy.
