AEM component name: O4 Detail Hero Banner
Pattern overview: The Detail Hero Banner appears at the top of the page (between the navigation and start of content). It serves as the starting point for the page and should orient the user to the content on the rest of the page. The image occupies the right half of the banner area, and the copy appears on the left side. On mobile, the copy appears below the banner.
Usage: Use on L1–L6 pages to reinforce the H1 heading and supporting copy.
Options:
- Background color options —
- White (default) used on L4–L6 pages
- Sky Blue used behind the integrated search bar and drop-down list
- Warm White used as needed
Play a video overtop the banner inside a modal window. The CTA button label typically should read “Watch video” in sentence case, no punctuation.
Optional Social media share icons can be added in place of a CTA button.*
Include a drop-down listing in place of the CTA button.
Include a global search bar in place of the CTA button.
CTA buttons — Primary (large or medium), secondary (large or medium), video, or place two buttons side by side. **
