Back End Development

In the context of web design, the Hero area (sometimes used as “Hero Image” as well) refers to the primary spread on a webpage, usually the site’s homepage, at or near the top of the screen and generally just below the navigation menu.

Your hero area should be the most visually prominent area of the page, and also have the most immediate, actionable information for the user to your site.

A Call to Action is any prompt on a website or app asking the user to take a specific action, often in the form of a clickable button. “Buy Now” is a common example, though calls to action don’t always have to involve a purchase. Signing up for a newsletter or downloading a free eBook can be valuable CTAs that increase user trust and also obtain contact information of interested visitors.

Generally refers to pages on a website designed with one specific purpose in mind, usually related to capturing a lead or sale.

Best practices for landing pages include minimizing ancillary information so that there is only one, prominent option for action by a user. This helps focus their attention and can lead to increased lead generation.
