10:10 Hero Pages

A Hero image, text or video is common way to describe using large format images and/or text to cover the top of a webpage. This is a nice styling option that can be easily accomplished with a little CSS and some positioning.

Designers / Creatives – Example
Causes / Organizations – Example
