Durable’s Banner section comes in multiple styles so you can match your brand’s look and feel.

Here’s how to add and configure a Banner section in your Durable website editor:

  1. Click Add section +

    • In your page editor, select Add section + at the top or bottom of your page.

  2. Search for “Banner”

    • Type Banner into the search box.

    • You’ll see options like Banner, Banner carousel full, Banner image slider horizontal, Banner double image slider, Banner bento grid, and more.

  3. Choose your banner style

    • Click the style you prefer to add it to your page. Durable will insert example headlines, subtext, and placeholder images.

Banner


Use the Banner section when you want a bold, uncluttered hero image (or video) with a single clear message and optional call-to-action. It’s perfect for:

  • Big impact, minimal copy: Launch announcements, product reveals, or brand statements where one striking headline and background carry the story.

  • Focusing attention: Driving visitors toward one primary action like “Get Started” or “Book Now” without visual distractions.

  • Seamless brand presentation: Blending your page header into a single, immersive hero image for a streamlined, cohesive look.
