Banner with Video

Video format is mp4, standard ratio of 1920 x 1080 will work (you will lose a significant part of the top and bottom of the screen on the video, so it's best working with a video where the focal point is vertically centred). Video works best when it's compressed as much as possible to a small file size (under 5MB is ideal), no audio and 10 to 15 seconds usually works best for a banner video.

Design Library - Banner with Video

The Banner with Video Component uses the Content Type 'Design Library - InsideBannerVideo' and can be used to display a banner with a background video.

Slider Buttons

Slider buttons can be added to the Banner using the Content Type 'Design Library - 2019-HomeSlider-Button'. The buttons can be added globally by adding the 'Design Library - 2019-HomeSlider-Button' Content Type to the section 'sitesettings' or individually by adding to any page with a Slider or Banner. Buttons added individually to a section will overwrite the Globally applied Button on that page. There are a limit of three buttons that can be added to the Slider or Banner.

The 'Design Library - HomeSlider-Button' Content Type has fields for 'Name', 'Link Text', an Internal or External Link and an option to 'Highlight'. Highted Buttons appear with a Yellow background colour.
