Webshop banner
Visual boxes at the top of the webshop flows
Overview
The webshop banner is a box with a visual on top of the webshop flow pages. It illustrates the content of the page.
Live demo (For Proximus employees)
Anatomy
Here is a quick overview of what a media box contains to better understand this documentation:
- Title
It can be a title followed by some copy content. - Visual
It can be a content visual or a background visual but the main focus should always be on the right of the banner to not be hidden by the title. (see compositions)
Compositions
There are two ways to display a visual in the webshop banner. Either you have a banner with a background image or with a content image.
Webshop banner with a background image
The visual is the background. The copy content is in a gridding which gives space for the visual on the right of the boxe.
For this display, use the template name-yymm-webshop-bg.psd
Webshop banner with a content image
The visual comes on top of the box, not in the background. This ensures accessibility since the visual is separated from the content.
This composition also creates depths by overlapping the visual on the banner. For this composition, the visuals' sizes can
differ depending on the needs.
For this display, use the template name-yymm-webshop-content.psd
