Thin Banner

The Thin Banner is a trunk-level pod that lets you catch your customer’s attention with solid text and a bold graphic.

Thin Banner template

1. Internal Name: This title will not be visible on the website; it is only used for organizing your content.
2. Share: If you flag this pod, your chosen content and settings will be saved to be added easily throughout your website. *If you need to change this pod, you can adjust it in one instance, and it will automatically be updated throughout the site.
3. Image: Add an image from your image library. The image’s height and width will determine your banner’s size. Below are examples of different-sized images. The image will be centered on the screen. A broken image icon will be applied if you do not apply an image.
4. Title: An H2 header will be applied over the image. The text will be centered unless it is larger than the screen size – then, it will be left-aligned.

In the “Options” tab, you can choose a “Preset.” Presets allow you to customize your page sections further. We can help set up and manage your preset library.
