How to create a full-screen hero section in Webflow?

Step 1: Create a New Section

  1. Open Webflow Designer and head to the page where you want to add the hero section.
  2. From the Add Elements panel, drag a Section element into the canvas or parent container.

Step 2: Set the Section to Full-Screen Height

  1. Select the Section element.
  2. In the Style tab, set the Height property to 100vh (vh stands for viewport height, and 100vh means 100% of the viewport height).

Step 3: Add a Background Image or Color

  1. With the Section element still selected, scroll to the Background settings in the Style tab.
  2. To add a background color:
  • Click on the color picker and choose or enter a hex code for your desired color.
  1. To add a background image:
  • Click on the image field and either upload a new image or select one from Webflow's Asset Manager.
  • Adjust the Background Image settings (e.g., set to Cover and Center to make sure the image covers the entire section and is centered).

Step 4: Add Content to the Section

  1. Inside the Section, drag and drop any desired elements like Headings, Paragraphs, Buttons, and Images.
  2. Arrange the content as needed.

Step 5: Center the Content Vertically and Horizontally

  1. Wrap all the content elements inside a Div Block:
  • From the Add Elements panel, drag a Div Block inside the Section.
  • Place all content elements inside this Div Block.
  1. Select the outer Section element in the Navigator or directly on the canvas.
  2. In the Style tab, set Display to Flex.
  3. Choose both Center for vertical and horizontal alignment under Align and Justify options respectively.

Step 6: Ensure Responsiveness

  1. Use Webflow's Device Preview mode to check how the hero section looks on different devices (Desktop, Tablet, Mobile Landscape, and Mobile Portrait).
  2. Adjust styles for each breakpoint if necessary to ensure the hero section maintains its full-screen appearance and proper content layout on all devices.

Step 7: Add any Additional Styling

  1. If desired, add additional styling like Box Shadows, Borders, or Animations to the Section or content elements to enhance visual appeal.
  2. Test the hero section on different browsers and devices to ensure compatibility and performance.
