Overview
A homepage often opens with a plain header and little room for a message. This plugin gives you a hero section at the top of the page where you can place a title, body text and optional call-to-action buttons. The background can be a solid color, an image or a video, and it scrolls with a parallax effect that gives the page some depth.
It is built for the WooCommerce Storefront theme and is managed from its own top-level section in the WordPress Customizer, so you can preview changes as you make them. You can choose a full-width or fixed-width layout, or let the hero fill the browser height on load. The parallax_hero shortcode places more heroes on category pages, blog posts and single product pages, which helps keep the look consistent across the site.
Features
- Editable hero content: Add a title, body text and optional call-to-action buttons. You control text colors and can align the content left, center or right.
- Color, image or video backgrounds: Choose a solid color, an image or a video as the hero background, so the section can match your brand and the promotion you are running.
- Parallax scrolling effect: The background scrolls with a parallax effect, giving the top of your homepage a layered look as visitors move down the page.
- Full-width or fixed-width layout: Let the hero span the whole browser window, or keep it to the width of your main content area.
- Full height display: Set the hero to fill the height of the browser viewport when the page loads, so it is the first thing visitors see.
- Shortcode for more heroes: Use the parallax_hero shortcode to add hero sections to category pages, blog posts and single product pages, as many as you need.
- Built for Storefront: The plugin is made for the official WooCommerce Storefront theme, so the hero fits into that theme's homepage.
- Customizer controls with previews: All hero settings sit in a dedicated top-level Customizer section, so you can edit and preview changes without touching code.
