What is a hero section?

The Hero Section is a Background with a Content Overlay.

Although simple, understanding the concept of the Hero Section is powerful because it gives you the flexibility to build and create beautifully designed pages by simply adding a background to your Sections. 

Kajabi helps streamline the process of building your pages by providing Hero Section presets. Building pages in Kajabi gives you the freedom to create any Section as a Hero Section by simply customizing your Background in the Section Settings of any Section on your page.

Although flexible, it is important to note the unique build of the Hero Section Presets.

Adding Blocks and customizing the Background of your Sections can create similar Sections to the Hero Section Presets but you may notice that the appearance will differ slightly when adding Block Types to a Section.

Adding a hero section:

  • Open the Website tab from the Dashboard.
  • Select the Pages tab.
  • Open the page editor for your Page. Learn more
  • Navigate to the sidebar panel.
  • Click Add Section.
  • Select your Section from Hero:

Tip:
A Hero section with a Countdown, Form, Image, or Video can be removed or added when editing. Because a Section is made up of blocks, simply Add Content to add an additional Block Type to your Hero section. Keep in mind, the appearance may differ slightly when adding Block Types to a Section compared to adding a Section Preset.
