<Eyebrow label="BLOCK" />

`Hero` renders a large banner with a headline, an optional subheading, an optional call-to-action button, and an optional ambient glyph drawn from the workspace theme. It is almost always the first block inside a NavShell's `children` array on marketing pages, but you can also drop a Hero partway down a long page as an anchor for a new section.

## Example

```json hero.json theme={null}
{
  "block": "Hero",
  "props": {
    "headline": "Welcome to Acme",
    "subheading": "The best widgets in the business.",
    "cta_label": "Sign up",
    "cta_href": "/signup",
    "ambient_glyph": true
  }
}
```

## Props

<DefList>
  <Def term="headline" type="string" required>
    Primary heading text — the largest typographic element in the section.
  </Def>

  <Def term="subheading" type="string">
    Supporting text displayed below the headline at a smaller weight.
  </Def>

  <Def term="cta_label" type="string">
    Button label. Must be set together with `cta_href`; omit both to render the Hero without a CTA.
  </Def>

  <Def term="cta_href" type="string (URL or path)">
    Destination for the CTA button. Must be set together with `cta_label`.
  </Def>

  <Def term="ambient_glyph" type="boolean" defaultValue="false">
    When `true`, renders a decorative background glyph drawn from the workspace theme tokens.
  </Def>
</DefList>

## Patterns

**Top-of-page banner.** Hero is the first child of NavShell. Set `ambient_glyph: true` to pick up the workspace brand mark automatically and anchor the page's visual identity.

**Mid-page anchor.** Drop a Hero block mid-tree to introduce a new content section — use a shorter `headline`, omit `ambient_glyph`, and skip the CTA so it doesn't compete with the top-of-page banner.

**No-CTA variant.** Omit both `cta_label` and `cta_href` when the Hero is purely introductory and conversion happens further down the page in a dedicated Cta block.

## Common props

In addition to the Hero-specific props, every block accepts `id`, `class_overrides`, `visible_if`, and `analytics_event`. See [common props on the PageBlocks overview](/pageblocks/overview#common-props).

## Where to go next

<Columns cols={2}>
  <BrandCard eyebrow="BLOCK" title="FeaturesGrid" href="/pageblocks/blocks/features-grid">
    Add a feature grid below the Hero to communicate product capabilities.
  </BrandCard>

  <BrandCard eyebrow="BLOCK" title="Cta" href="/pageblocks/blocks/cta">
    Add a dedicated conversion band further down the page.
  </BrandCard>
</Columns>
