Hero images are "strategically placed" to "showcase" the products and services that are being advertised. In practice, the goal is to draw attention primarily to the items that make the most profit for the vendor. In other words, these are the highest-margin items.← Previous edit | Revision as of 19:06, 6 February 2022 edit undoMacrakis (talk | contribs)Autopatrolled, Extended confirmed users, Pending changes reviewers, Rollbackers53,764 edits WP:REFERSNext edit → | ||

A hero image is a prominent image as part of a design.
In web design, a hero image is a large web banner image, prominently placed on a web page, generally in the front and center.
In the retail and wholesale marketing, a hero image is an image of a product or service that is being advertised, and that generally falls beyond the everyday lifestyle scenario.
Usage
The hero image is often the first visual element that a visitor encounters on the site. It is intended to present an overview of the site's most important content.
A hero image often consists of image and text, and it can be static or dynamic (e.g., a rotating list of images or topics). It can also be displayed via scripts with animations.
The content presented varies with the purpose of the site: it can be relevant news about the site, specific site-links, or—in the case of e-commerce—the best-selling or strategically placed (e.g. highest-margin, hence most profitable) products or services.
