Image (Banner) example

Guidelines for use

  1. This paragraph is always used at 100% width of the browser window

  1. Consider where the focal point of your background image is, and align the content in the section with your best attempt to not overlap it. 
  2. If your image has a lot of bright and dark areas, you may have legibility issues with your content. Consider either a new image or re-cropping your image in a different way.

Title: An optional <h2> heading that will appear on top of the image, according to selected alignment (left, center or right). Maximum character count: 100.
