Design an Elementor Web Designer Hero Banner for Your Portfolio

Creating a web designer hero banner for your portfolio is an essential task for any professional in the field. In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through the process of designing a visually appealing and functional hero banner using Elementor.

Prerequisites

Please make sure you have the following installed and activated:

• Elementor (Pro)

Setting Up the Container

1. Navigate to Elementor > Edit Page and add a new container.
2. Select the container and set its layout to “Boxed.”
3. Adjust the width to 1140 pixels.
4. Zero out the margin and padding.
5. Set the height to 75 VH (Viewport Height).

Adding Background and Overlay

1. Navigate to Style > Background and choose a background color that complements your design.
2. Go to Background Overlay and add an image that will sit on the right-hand side of the banner.
3. Set the image to “Center Right,” “No Repeat,” and “Contain” for size.
4. Adjust the opacity of the background overlay to 0.4.

Inserting Headers and Image

1. Drag two headers (H1 and H2) and an image into the section.
2. Change the text of the headers to “Web” and “Designer.”
3. Replace the image with a high-resolution picture of a person (yourself, if it’s a personal portfolio).

Styling the Text

1. Navigate to Style > Typography for each header.
2. Set the text color to white.
3. Choose a bold font weight (e.g., 800).
4. Apply text-transform to “Uppercase.”

Making Text Responsive with Clamp

1. Use a clamp calculator to determine the responsive font size.
2. Insert the clamp formula into the typography settings for each header.

Positioning Elements

1. Go to Advanced > Positioning for each header.
2. Set the position to “Absolute” and align it at the bottom.
3. Adjust the Z-index of the image to place the text behind it.
4. Set the horizontal orientation offset to VW and zero to center the text.

Adding a Transparent Layer

1. Duplicate one of the headers.
2. Navigate to Style > Opacity and set it to around 0.5.
3. Adjust the Z-index to place this transparent text above the image but below the main text.

Additional Styling and Responsiveness

1. Navigate to the parent container and align the items in the center.
2. Set the Justification to “End.”
3. Adjust the Z-index of the image to 2 and the transparent text to 3.
