A banner image, also known as a hero image, is a large-format banner displayed on a website. It is usually used at the top of the page to attract the viewer's attention. In the IONOS Online Shop, the banner image element is available for this purpose. In contrast to the image slider, the banner image element offers you additional options. This article explains what you need to know about incorporating the banner image element.
