The Hero Section
The hero section is the large banner at the top of your homepage — the first thing visitors see. It sets the tone, so make it count.
What you can set
In the Hero Section area of your dashboard you can:
- Add one or more background images that display behind your headline.
- Reorder images and let them rotate as a carousel.
- Give an image a link so clicking it takes visitors somewhere (a show, an event, a campaign).
Your headline and tagline come from your station settings and appear over the hero.
Tips for a great hero
- Use high-resolution, wide images so they look sharp on big screens.
- Keep important detail away from the very center, where your headline sits.
- If you use multiple images, pick ones with a consistent mood so the carousel feels cohesive.

Can a hero image link somewhere?
Yes. You can attach a link to a background image so visitors who click it are taken to the page you choose.
