What is the hero section?
The hero section is the upper area of your homepage, and the first thing users see when they arrive at your site. The standard format for this section is a banner image layout.
The banner image layout consists of up to four images that rotate across your screen at a brief interval--the length of which you determine. Each image can contain unique, customizable text and can act as a unique hyperlink when clicked. Additionally, you have the option of activating an events calendar that lays over the banner image.
