Hero sections

A hero section is a lightweight container for showcasing content. They are commonly used on the Home page, but can be used in any page template.

Usage

Use .hero to create a flexible hero section.

Although hero section elements are simple and can be used in a variety of contexts, those used on the Home page of our themes typically contain configurable background images, colors and headings. Shape dividers and popular search terms can also be added using theme settings.
