Call-to-action (CTA) banner block

What is the Call-to-action (CTA) banner block for?

Use it when the next step deserves its own section. A Call-to-action (CTA) banner briefly reminds visitors why moving forward makes sense, then gives them one or two concrete actions. It works well after a service explanation, feature section, pricing section or longer piece of content.

LOW-KEY CLOSE

Let's talk about what you need.

When the surrounding content has already done the explaining, a light and simple next step can be enough.

STRONG DECISION POINT

Ready for a first version?

A dark, full-width close gives more visual weight to a moment where taking the next step already feels natural.

COMPACT HIGHLIGHT

One question still standing between you and the next step?

The accent version works well as a mid-page CTA when you want to offer one easy action without turning it into a full closing section.

IMAGE-LED VERSION

Use a visual when it genuinely adds to the next step.

A background image earns its place when it reinforces the promise or mood rather than acting as decoration.

One primary button is usually enough. Add a secondary action only when there is a genuinely useful alternative path — for example, viewing pricing alongside starting a trial. If both buttons compete for the same attention, keep just one.

What can you configure in the Call-to-action (CTA) banner?

The message, buttons and background work together to determine how strong the decision point feels.

Four visual styles

Choose Light, Dark, Accent or Image presentation.

Inline or Stacked

Inline is more compact. Stacked gives the message more vertical space and visual emphasis. Banner height sets how tall it is, from Extra compact to Extra tall.

One or two buttons

Set a primary action and an optional secondary action, each with its own label and destination. Button style is Outline or Filled (accent).

Background image

For image style, set an image, focal point and an Overlay strength of None, Light, Medium or Dark.

Eyebrow, headline and subhead

Use three text levels to build a compact standalone conversion section. The headline can use H1 to H6; in the middle or at the end of a page, H2 or H3 is usually appropriate. The headline and the subhead can take line breaks.

Background and width

Keep the banner restrained inside the content flow or make it a full-width closing section. As the last block on the page it meets the footer; Keep the gap above the footer keeps the usual gap.

New: banner backdrop

Slowly moving colour can now sit behind the text.

Banner backdrop · None

The familiar look, with no moving backdrop.

Banner backdrop · Aurora

Aurora: slowly drifting colour from your palette behind the text, which stays readable.

Good to know

The aurora backdrop is hidden while this block has its own background, text or accent colour. If a visitor's device asks for less motion, the colours stand still.

AURORA BACKDROP

A little motion behind the words.

Your palette's colours drift slowly behind the text. For this, the block must not have its own background colour.

END WITH A CLEAR NEXT STEP

Visitors should not have to work out what to do next.

A good CTA banner summarises the point, creates focus and names the next step clearly.
