Adding a banner image

You may want to display a banner on your website for a number of reasons:

  • To advertise a special event such as a sale or a new Online Store arrival.
  • To promote a cause that you are supporting, for example, a nonprofit organization.
  • To drive sales to your product on third-party platforms, for example, leading to a product in the Amazon store.
  • To add more color to your page and highlight the new user experience.

There are two ways to add a banner to your website page:

  1. Adding a banner HTML code directly to the page through an HTML embed block.
  2. Adding the image as a background of the Call to action block.

Which method to choose? This depends on your priorities.

  • Need a clickable button so that your site visitors are redirected to another page, website, or can download a file? Choose the Call to action block.
  • Have a pre-designed third-party banner? Choose HTML embed block.
