Create a lasting impression with your learners by implementing the Hero Image widget onto numerous Thought Industries page layouts.

Use Case Information

The Hero Image widget will display a large image or photograph on your page. You can also add text by using the Title and Subtitle fields, or a call-to-action button to link the image to a URL. If you enter text in these fields, an overlay screen will automatically be added across the bottom of the image to increase readability. You can input several versions of the image for optimal browsing on multiple devices. The recommended dimensions are 1500 pixels wide for large screens, 800 pixels wide for standard, and 600 pixels wide for mobile.
