Copy these 21 Hero Section Designs

The hero section is the most important part to get right because it’s the first thing people see on your website, before they start to scroll. With these examples from real websites, Matt shows us why these layouts are successful and gives us some new ideas to try out.

It would be great if the links to the sites were in the description so we could check them out.

[@Souljacker7]

Yeah, copy these sites I won't reveal to you!

[@yestrevor]

@@Souljacker7 you could literally just google the companies? lol

Can you make a separate video on describing all the designs that come under UI design like what is Hero section, what is wireframe, brand guidelines, etc. And what beginners should learn first.

I don't think I've ever commented on a KZbin video but I just wanted to say thank you for this content! I'm a web developer restructuring my portfolio website and I've been looking for inspiration for my hero section, so this is exactly what I needed. Thanks so much!

[@FluxAcademy]

Thanks Amelia, that's great to hear!

Glad you liked it!

Great to see mobile layouts also :)

[@benhawkins6029]

Appreciate the thoughtful analysis based on solid design principles. Recently discovered you and enjoying your surveys of the designed world. I would love to see even more examples of sites created for the marketplace (I expect branding firm websites to be well designed and with panache). Very informative when you highlight well designed sites that have been made for clients and likely in the context of multiple stakeholders. Thanks so much!

Thanks Ben for the thoughtful comment!

Mobile layout is so hard, I don't struggle that much creating an amazing desktop view but mobile I just go blank and just rely on the safest option, stacking everything properly. :( I would love to see you explore just various mobile design ideas, the drastic and fairly creative but easier to follow or adhere to. I also wonder how to deal with desktop hover effects on mobile, instead of just disabling are there any ideas how to incorporate them effectively? Last and not the least, most of the designs you shared are full bleed that go edge-to-edge, at what point do we decide should center our design? 1440px is getting so common and so beyond that should be just keep expanding our design to fit the viewport width? That sounds a bit odd to me but some designs are great full width, but not really accessible or reasonable. Thank you.

[@FluxAcademy]

There's 21 mobile examples here! Regarding full-width or centred, it really is on a case by case basis. It depends what the layout needs. It's a design decision. Thanks for the comment. ✌️

[@v1d300]

@@FluxAcademy Of the 21 examples, most of the mobile designs were just stacking or removing design elements and even Matt is disappointed by how most of them as they failed to capture the magic from their desktop design to mobile. My comment was a response to that, that creative mobile designs in isolation are hard to find. Is this a limitation of your technology/devices' or UX on mobile has to be always simple? Thank you.

[@renanrubini3865]

I'm setting up an e-commerce and would like to explore different visuals and animations on each product page. In this case, is it necessary to follow a standard for the designs or can I make each page differently from the others?

[@FluxAcademy]

It will be difficult as the site scales if there isn't standardisation in the system but you can allow image/video elements for example that can be created custom each time. Good luck!

[@DesignDen673]

How do you source images to recreate the mentioned websites?
