FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a CSS hero section?

A hero section is the first full-bleed band of a landing page — typically containing an eyebrow tag, headline, subheadline, primary call-to-action, and a supporting visual. It's the most important block on the page because it carries the value proposition above the fold.

Should a hero be exactly 100vh tall?

Not always. Use `min-height: 100vh` for a true full-screen statement (campaign sites, agency portfolios), but `min-height: clamp(380px, 60vh, 720px)` is more practical for SaaS — tall enough to feel intentional, short enough that critical content below the fold isn't hidden on landscape laptops.

How do I make a hero section responsive?

Use `clamp()` for headline font sizes (`clamp(24px, 5vw, 64px)`), `padding: clamp(20px, 4vh, 80px) clamp(16px, 4vw, 40px)` for breathing room that scales, and a single breakpoint at 720px to switch split-column layouts to stacked. Avoid fixed pixel widths anywhere.

Do I need a background image?

No — these heroes use only inline SVG illustrations and pure-CSS gradients. Real photos add weight and licensing constraints; for visual richness, stack `radial-gradient` blobs (mesh gradient pattern) or `backdrop-filter: blur()` over coloured shapes (glassmorphism). Both rival photographic richness without the bytes.

Are these heroes accessible?

Yes. Every hero uses semantic HTML — `

` for the band, exactly one `

` for the headline, real anchor links for CTAs. Animations honour `prefers-reduced-motion`, decorative SVG carries `aria-hidden="true"`, and color contrast on copy meets WCAG AA.

CSS Center a Div

The complete guide to centering a div in CSS in 2026 — covering all 5 production techniques with live interactive demos. Flexbox (the modern default, works for 95% of cases): <code>display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center</code> on the parent. CSS Grid (one-line shorthand): <code>display: grid; place-items: center</code>. Absolute positioning + transform (for overlays and modals): <code>position: absolute; top: 50%; left: 50%; transform: translate(-50%, -50%)</code>. Margin auto (for block elements with a known width): <code>margin: 0 auto</code> (horizontal only) or <code>margin: auto</code> with <code>position: absolute</code> + <code>inset: 0</code> (both axes). All methods side-by-side comparison — see every technique render the same content with visible axis crosshairs so you can see exactly where each method lands the element. All 5 demos are 100% pure CSS, MIT-licensed, copy-paste ready, with detailed explanations of which method to use when. Works in every modern browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge), no JavaScript required.

10 CSS Feature Sections
