Homepage Banners
Banners can be added to the IoGT homepage (only) to promote individual pieces of content or to showcase lower sections or subsections. You can link any article or page to the home page banner.
When designing a home page banner, choose a strong image that is not the same image as the original article. You might want to add copy that lets site visitors know that the banner links to something useful or interesting. Banner images can be in three sizes.
Dimensions
- Large Banners should be 336px x 210px - or 1.6:1 aspect ratio when you are creating higher resolution images
- Medium Banners should be 336px x 140px - or 2.4:1 aspect ratio
- Small Banners should be 336px x 70px - or 4.8:1 aspect ratio
