# Hero Sections for React and Tailwind

> A hero section gets a few seconds to say what your product is, and it is where generated pages look most alike. These first screens are built by people with a point of view: real type scale, real motion, real layout decisions. Watch each one run at full size, then install it as code you own. Replace the words, keep the structure, and your landing page stops looking like everyone else's.

## About

Hero sections are the first screen of a landing page: a headline, a line of support, a call to action and usually an image, a product shot, a video or an animated background. Some lead with words, others with the product.

Write the headline first and choose the layout around it. A text-led hero suits a product that's easy to explain; an image or demo suits one that's easier to show. Keep one primary action, make it visible without scrolling on a phone, and load the main image early.

## Frequently asked questions

### What makes a good hero section?

A headline that says what the product does for someone, one line that backs it up, one clear call to action, and a visual that shows the product or the result. Everything else can wait for the next section.

### How do I make a hero section in React and Tailwind?

Install a hero component, replace its headline, text and buttons with yours, and swap in your own image or demo. Because it's source in your project, you can change the layout and spacing like any other component.

### Should a hero section have a video or an animated background?

Only if it helps people understand the product faster. A short muted video of the product in use can do that; a decorative animation mostly costs load time. Keep the headline readable over whatever plays behind it.

### How do I keep the hero fast to load?

Load the main image or poster early, size it for the screen, and lazy load anything below the fold. Avoid shipping a large animation library just for the first screen.

### What should a hero section include?

A headline, one supporting line, a primary call to action, and usually a visual of the product. Social proof such as logos or a short quote can sit just below.

### How tall should a hero section be?

Tall enough to hold the message and call to action without scrolling, often most of the first screen, but not so tall that it hides the next section entirely. A hint of what comes next invites the scroll.

### Should the hero have one call to action or two?

One primary action, like start free, with an optional quieter second one, like see a demo. Two equal buttons make people stop and choose, which slows them down.
