The content type Banner is a slideshow made up of several banner slides that rotate automatically. For each slide you maintain an image, text, and link. The banner settings let you control size, transition effect, and navigation.

​

Tips

For a hero banner at the very top of a landing page: choose a high resolution (e.g. 1920 × 800), show arrows, and set the display duration to 4-6 seconds for readable texts.
If you only need one slide (no rotating banner), a banner content item with just a single row is sufficient.
