Hero horizon band: WordPress Block Pattern, Pattern Paste Canonical: https://patternpaste.com/pattern/hero-horizon-band.html Core Patterns (https://patternpaste.com/patterns/) Hero (https://patternpaste.com/patterns/hero/) Catalogue access Standard # Hero horizon band A coastal-stay opening with a broad opaque title band set across a bright full-width photograph. The sunset stays visible above it and the same shore continues below the band. Includes a replaceable shore photograph, an inherited Core version and an Oat and persimmon Styled look. ## All patterns Search patterns Loading patterns… The signature moment ## A broad title band cuts across a photograph that continues above and below it The buyer gets a hospitality opening with a short oversized title, one line of support and one booking action. Sundrift is a fictional coastal-stay brand; the photograph sets a mood without naming a destination. Theme handoff ## What comes from where ### Theme and pattern The Core version inherits the theme's colours and faces. Opaque plates use base and contrast fallback chains; the photograph has no veil and no text sits directly on it. The root and plates let headings and links follow their painter. Ordinary Core buttons inherit the theme's fill and radius, with explicit padding for a usable target. The headline is display type, sized outside the theme ladder so the broad short title makes the band. The brand label stays at 14px; support copy uses the medium type ladder. Body copy meets 4.5:1 contrast and large display type 3:1 on its painted plate. The Cover uses rem dimensions, editable native groups and spacers, and no CSS or script.

Design rationaleComposition, intent and nearest alternatives ### The signature moment: a broad title band cuts across a photograph that continues above and below it The buyer gets a hospitality opening with a short oversized title, one line of support and one booking action. Sundrift is a fictional coastal-stay brand; the photograph sets a mood without naming a destination. One native Cover holds the whole photograph. An 18rem-to-26rem spacer protects its top region, an opaque full-width group makes the title band, and a fixed 8rem spacer reveals the continuing shore below. The band uses the theme wide width for its two columns. Those columns stack below the native WordPress breakpoint, while both photographic regions remain visible. Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast ### What it inherits, what it decides The Core version inherits the theme's colours and faces. Opaque plates use base and contrast fallback chains; the photograph has no veil and no text sits directly on it. The root and plates let headings and links follow their painter. Ordinary Core buttons inherit the theme's fill and radius, with explicit padding for a usable target. The headline is display type, sized outside the theme ladder so the broad short title makes the band. The brand label stays at 14px; support copy uses the medium type ladder. Body copy meets 4.5:1 contrast and large display type 3:1 on its painted plate. The Cover uses rem dimensions, editable native groups and spacers, and no CSS or script. Technical notesBlock mechanics, responsive behaviour and constraints ### Styled look Oat and persimmon: Oat ground, brown-black ink and a persimmon button, with Georgia display type over Arial body copy. The button is square and deliberately filled. Its matching inherited Core version remains available as Use my theme. ### What a buyer changes first Replace the brand name, short heading, supporting line and action. Then replace the Cover photograph and adjust its focal point. Keep the copy compact so the photograph retains its breathing space. ### Included images The copied markup includes a WordPress Photo Directory example photograph. The public URL keeps it visible after pasting. Select the Cover and choose Replace to use a Media Library image. See image credits (https://patternpaste.com/image-credits/) for the source and license. Pasting a URL does not create a Media Library attachment.

States no colour and no font of its own. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/appointment-letter-checklist.html)Stats Arisings recycled figures A figures section on an inverted slab where one number carries it: a percentage set at display size over a heading that finishes the sentence and a short note, beside a tall photograph. Under it three ruled tiles break the figure down, each a large percentage, a heading and a line, with a second photograph as the fourth tile. Four across on a wide screen, two on a tablet, one on a phone. States no colour and no font of its own.

States no colour and no font of its own. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/compare-compact-rows.html) #### Before you paste Requires a block theme on WordPress 7.0 to 7.1. Classic themes and page builders are outside our supported setup. Adaptive patterns use the block theme’s colour, spacing and typography presets; styled variations declare their own colours or type. How we test patterns (https://patternpaste.com/how-we-test/) Sample images stay in the copied blocks. Replace them in WordPress; pasting does not upload them to your Media Library. Video variations need your own clip.
