The Hero Banner section creates prominent visual displays at the top of a page. It supports static banners, slideshows, images, and videos, and can interact with the header when positioned as the first section on a page. Hero banners help establish visual hierarchy and communicate key messages or campaigns immediately upon page load. Hero Banner section overview
