What makes a good hero section on a education website
The hero has one job: say what the product is and give one clear next step. The best ones pair a short headline with a live product shot or demo, not a stock illustration. Education sites structure the journey: courses, outcomes, instructor credibility and clear enrolment steps. Compare these examples with hero sections from every industry, or see the full homepages on the education website templates page.
