Magento banners


Banners with image, caption and hover effects

Image banners can be useful in many different places in your Magento store. You can place banners just about anywhere using simple markup. With additional utility classes you can easily add caption and multiple hover effects to your banners.

Simple image banner

The image and the entire content of the banner is wrapped inside an element with the ban class. The image needs to be marked with the image class. Here's a minimal example to create a simple banner:

HTML elements for banners

In our examples of banners and captions we are going to use a generic HTML element

, but you can as well use a HTML5 element
for banners and
for caption.

Note that if you decide to use these elements, the

must be a direct child of the
. Also, the
must be its first or last child.



Banner

Caption Example

This is a sample text


Banner with hyperlink

To create a banner with a hyperlink to other pages (or to locations within the same page), wrap the banner inside the anchor element . Inside the href="" attribute put a URL that the hyperlink points to. You can wrap the entire banner, or only the caption.



Banner with image hover effect

To add a hover effect to the banner, add an effect class to the banner (to the element with the ban class). The following classes are available: ban-effect-1, ban-effect-2, ban-effect-3, ban-effect-fade-out, ban-effect-grayscale-in, ban-effect-grayscale-out, ban-effect-blur-in, ban-effect-blur-out.

Banner with color overlay

To add a color overlay to the banner, add a caption but without any text. Captions are described later on this page, but in this section we will only use an empty caption element.

To add an empty caption to the banner, simply add an element with the cap class inside the banner:

. The empty caption element will be displayed as a color overlay. Here's an example:



Banner

Banner


Color of the overlay


To change the color of the overlay, add an inline CSS to the caption element to override the default value of its background-color property. You can add semi-transparent color using the rgba() functional notation allowing specification of the opacity of a color. For example:



Banner
  • The default color of the overlay can be configured in the admin panel:
    Theme Design > Colors


Banner


Color overlay with fade in/out effect


By default the color overlay (the caption element) covers the banner all the time. But you can change it with two useful classes. The ban-caption-fade-out class will make the overlay fade out on mouse hover over the banner. And the ban-caption-fade-in class will make the overlay fade in only on mouse hover over the banner.


  • Add these classes to the banner element,
    not to the caption element.

Examples of banners with combined hover effect and color overlay






Banner with caption

To create a caption for the banner, add an element with the cap class inside the banner. Inside the caption you can add any text elements, such as headings or paragraphs of text. The caption will be displayed over the image with a color overlay (background color). Here's an example:

  • The default color of the overlay can be configured in the admin panel:

You can extend this simple example with additional features:

  • by adding more of the predefined CSS classes to the banner and the caption element
  • by adding more HTML (e.g. icons) inside the caption


Inline styles


If you want to change the style of the caption, e.g. change the font size or the color, you can do it with inline CSS styles. Add the style attribute to the caption element and specify values of selected properties such as font-size, font-family, color, background-color etc.

In the example below, we override the default values of the color and the background-color properties of the caption element and the font-size property of

and

elements. To make the background color semi-transparent, use the rgba() functional notation.

Remove caption background color


To get rid of the background color from the caption, add the cap-no-bg class to the caption element. This will make the caption element transparent, only the text will be visible over the banner:

Caption with fade in/out effect


By default the caption element covers the banner all the time. But you can change it with two useful classes. The ban-caption-fade-out class will make the caption fade out on mouse hover over the banner. And the ban-caption-fade-in class will make the caption fade in on mouse hover over the banner.

  • Add these classes to the banner element,
    not to the caption element.

Here's a code example of a caption with fade out effect:



Below you can see examples of both effects:




Center caption

To center the caption horizontally, add the cap-center-horizontally class to the caption element. To center the caption vertically, add the cap-center-vertically class to the caption element. Both classes can be used together.

Here's a code example of a caption centered vertically and horizontally:

Center vertically, full cover

When the caption is centered vertically, if you want the caption to cover the entire banner, you need to use two nested caption elements. The inner caption element needs to have the cap-center-vertically class. The additional cap-no-bg class will remove the background color from the inner caption element.

Here's the code example of the inner caption element without the background color:

Vertically centered icon


To create a banner with an icon aligned exactly in the center of the banner, make the caption element centered vertically and horizontally and add an icon inside the inner caption element:



Below you can see some examples of banners with an icon aligned in the center:




Caption - positioning

To set the position of the caption, use the following classes: cap-top, cap-bottom, cap-left, cap-right, cap-top-left, cap-top-right, cap-bottom-left, cap-bottom-right.

Here's a code example of a caption placed at the bottom of the banner:

Caption - precise positioning

To position the caption with more precision, you can use the classes presented below. The number at the end of each class name indicates the value (percentage) by which the caption will be moved in the selected direction. In the vertical direction the percentage is calculated with respect to the height of the entire banner. In the horizontal direction the percentage is calculated with respect to the width of the entire banner.

For example, the cap-push-down-10 class will push the caption down by 10%. Here's the list of all available classes:


Push down:
  • cap-push-down-5
  • cap-push-down-10
  • cap-push-down-15
  • cap-push-down-20
  • cap-push-down-25
  • cap-push-down-30
Push up:
  • cap-push-up-5
  • cap-push-up-10
  • cap-push-up-15
  • cap-push-up-20
  • cap-push-up-25
  • cap-push-up-30
Push left:
  • cap-push-left-5
  • cap-push-left-10
  • cap-push-left-15
  • cap-push-left-20
  • cap-push-left-25
  • cap-push-left-30
Push right:
  • cap-push-right-5
  • cap-push-right-10
  • cap-push-right-15
  • cap-push-right-20
  • cap-push-right-25
  • cap-push-right-30

Below you can see an example of a caption which is pushed up by 20% and pushed right by 15%.

Caption effects

To add eye-catching hover effects for the caption, add classes listed below to the banner element:


Fade:
  • ban-caption-fade-out
  • ban-caption-fade-in
Slide:
  • ban-caption-slide-up
  • ban-caption-slide-down
  • ban-caption-slide-left
  • ban-caption-slide-right
Push:
  • ban-caption-push-up
  • ban-caption-push-down
Hinge:
  • ban-caption-hinge-up
  • ban-caption-hinge-down
  • ban-caption-hinge-left
  • ban-caption-hinge-right

  • Add these classes to the banner element,
    not to the caption element.

Here's a code example of a banner with caption "hinge up" effect:

Caption with text background

To create a caption with background color behind each block of text, you need to make a few steps:

1. Mark each block of text inside the caption element with the text class.

2. Add these two classes to the caption element:

  • cap-no-bg class which removes the background color from the caption element
  • cap-text-bg class which adds the background color to text blocks

3. Add one of these classes to the caption element to choose the tone of the text background - dark (semi-transparent black) or light (semi-transparent white):

  • cap-text-bg-dark-1
  • cap-text-bg-dark-2
  • cap-text-bg-dark-3
  • cap-text-bg-light-1
  • cap-text-bg-light-2
  • cap-text-bg-light-3

Here's an example of a caption with dark text background:




Below you can see examples with different colors of text background.
