Add a hero image

  1. Navigate to the Pages tab at the top of your Websites app, then open the page you'd like to add a hero image to.
  2. Create an image gallery block and upload your desired image(s) to it.
  3. Click Design this page at the top of the page.

  4. The Design panel will open. On the right-hand sidebar, click on the Page tab and select Image gallery.

  5. Next to Height, open the menu and select Adjust manually. If you prefer your hero Image to take up the full upper half of your webpage, select Fit to window.

  6. Scroll down the right-hand menu until you see Container and tick the box next to Expand content to container edges. This stretches the image to each side of the webpage (if you have a Wrapper set on your template, it will stretch the image to the end of the wrapper).

  7. Click Save at the bottom of the sidebar.
