Basic Hero

The basic hero is intended to create a simple introduction to a page when there is no suitable hero imagery available, or an image is deemed unnecessary, for example inner content pages.

The basic hero replaces the pattern hero, which was retired as it was felt that the multitude of colours available with multiple pattern choices no longer reflected the University branding or desired style.

Key information

• Full bleed 
• Optional breadcrumbs
• Optional CTA
• Full height/short variations depending on whether the feature block element is completed
• By default the basic hero has black text on a grey background

CTA

If the CTA is set to show the content type will look for a sub section called CTA in which you can add a Hero CTA content type. If one doesn't exist it will recurse up the site structure until it finds one.

This negates the need for you to set up a new CTA each time you add a hero and means a CTA can easily be set for a whole area of the site.

Heading

Add the text for your heading into the heading field as a paragraph in standard sentence case. The text will automatically be bold, which is the standard, if you would like to emphasise a part of the heading manually bold those words and all other words will un-bold to show contrast.

Search

A version of the basic hero is available with a search input. The search input replaces the feature block and provides an optional field for intro text. A search hero needs to be set up by an Administrator.
