Building a Hero Section
What You'll Build
A compelling page introduction with a headline, supporting text, and a call-to-action button. This creates an 80/20 layout with content on the left and button on the right.
Before You Start
- Have your page headline ready
- Know what action you want visitors to take (for the button)
- Prepare any supporting copy that explains your value proposition
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Add the VN Intro Section Module
- In the page editor, click the Add button in your desired section
- Search for VN Intro Section
- Click to add it to your page
What you'll see: A content panel with fields for heading, body text, and button.
Step 2: Enter Your Headline
- Find the Heading Text field in the Intro Content group
- Type your main headline
- Select the appropriate Heading Level (use H1 for the main page title, H2 for section introductions)
- Choose a Heading Color (black or white, depending on your background)
What you'll see: Your headline appears in the preview with proper styling.
Step 3: Add Your Supporting Copy
- Locate the Body Copy rich text field
- Enter 1-3 sentences that explain your value proposition
- Keep it concise and action-oriented
- Use the Text Color option if needed (black or white)
What you'll see: Your body text appears below the headline.
Step 4: Configure the Call-to-Action Button
- Toggle Show Button to ON (enabled by default)
- Fill in the Button Text (e.g., "Get Started", "Learn More", "Contact Us")
- Set the Button Link:
- Click the link field
- Enter the URL or select a page
- Choose whether to open in a new tab
- Select a Button Style:
- Gradient: Orange gradient outline (recommended for primary CTAs)
- Primary: Solid filled button
- Ghost: Transparent with border
- Choose a Button Size (Small, Medium, or Large)
What you'll see: Your button appears aligned to the right on desktop, below content on mobile.
Step 5: Adjust Spacing (Optional)
- Switch to the Style tab in the module panel
- Open Padding controls
- Choose a padding mode (none, preset, or custom)
- Adjust top and bottom spacing as needed
Common Settings
| Setting | What It Does | Recommended Value |
|---|---|---|
| Heading Level | Sets the HTML semantic level | H1 for main page title, H2 for sections |
| Heading Color | Text color for the headline | Match your background (black on light, white on dark) |
| Button Style | Visual appearance of the CTA | Gradient for primary actions |
| Button Size | How large the button appears | Medium (M) for most cases, Large (L) for hero sections |
| Show Button | Toggle button visibility | ON for pages with clear CTAs |
Tips and Best Practices
- Keep headlines under 10 words for maximum impact
- Use action verbs in button text ("Get", "Start", "Discover")
- Limit body copy to 2-3 sentences to maintain scannability
- Use H1 only once per page (typically in your main hero)
- Test how your section looks on mobile devices
Troubleshooting
Problem: Button text is too long and wraps awkwardly. Solution: Shorten your button text to 2-3 words maximum.
Problem: Text is hard to read on the background. Solution: Change the Heading Color and Text Color settings to contrast with your background.
Problem: Section looks cramped or too spread out. Solution: Adjust the Padding settings in the Style tab to add more or less vertical space.
Problem: Button does not appear. Solution: Check that the "Show Button" toggle is enabled in the Intro Content group.
