Find out more about the Header Banner, when you should use it and what information you should include.
When to use a Header Banner
A Header Banner is the default banner on T4 and should be used at the top of your landing pages (a webpage intended to link out to multiple other webpages - like a homepage).
If you have a campaign landing page with only one high-priority link, you should instead use a Banner Hero banner.
Example
The Header Banner content type should be Queen Mary blue and contain -
- Page title
- Description sentence
You have the option of having an image, which you should make sure you have permission to use before publishing.
