Lots of ideas. Comments and questions appreciated. IMO, this is the most important part of the site. \n## Marketing/Design\n\nDisclaimer: I am not a marketing person. I simply have opinions. \n\nThe heros are used as a quick look into \"what's happening at BPP\". The goal of the hero is to drive the most visitors to the things you want to drive them to. Between an abbreviated nav (4-5 items) and the heros, >80% of all visitors should be able to get to the section of the site where they need to be or do what they came to do. I'm thinking there are 3 types of heros:\n1. A show -- automatically added -- just the next show\n2. An event -- automatically added -- just the next event\n3. A special -- any number of custom heros used to drive traffic to something specific\n\nEach hero should have a call-to-action link. By default:\n1. show -- the show ticket page\n2. event -- the event ticket page\n3. special -- no default -- must be config'ed in front matter in the content file \n\nEach hero may have a \"title\" like what @mattbatman has now in [the mockup](http://bppwrite.github.io/) (e.g. \"The only new play theater...\") . The title may be blank (perhaps because the \"title\" is designed directly into the hero image). If the title is listed, the \n\nI think we should normalize a call-to-action button with some text in it. For a show or event, it would be \"buy tickets\" and go to the ticket page. For special heros, the call-to-action text and link would be config'ed in frontmatter. This way, the call-to-action is easily understood and consistent across all heros -- maybe a conspicuous button with a mouse-over effect or some such thing. \n## Functionality/Engineering\n\nIMO, the slider should stop if you're moused over it. You should be able to manually go forward and back in the progression.  I'd also like it to be full screen most of the time... with the \"scroll down\" link like @ChadDR was talking about. \n\nEach type of hero must have a hero image, duh. If a show or event doesn't have a corresponding hero image it will not be a hero and will be ignored. A missing hero image for a special will result in an error during build.\n\nA proposal: The ordering of heros will be by type, then by date, but can be overridden with `weight` in the frontmatter. By default:\n1. Next show - weight will be assumed to be 100\n2. Next event - weight will be assumed to be 200  \n3. Specials by date with most recent first\n\nSay, for example, you wanted a special to be first... Just set the weight to something lower than 100. If you wanted a special to be between the show and the event, set the weight to be something between 100 and 200. \n\nAutomatic removal of heros... Shows and events will automatically drop off (or rather, be replaced) when they are no longer relevant (no longer the current/next show). Specials, by default, will remain until manually removed or we could configure an `end_date` in the frontmatter to signify when a special is expired. \n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/bppwrite/bppwrite.github.io/issues/comments/264369704","html_url":"https://github.com/bppwrite/bppwrite.github.io/issues/8#issuecomment-264369704","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/bppwrite/bppwrite.github.io/issues/8","id":264369704,"user":{"login":"ChadDR","id":21229838,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/21229838?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/ChadDR","html_url":"https://github.com/ChadDR","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ChadDR/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ChadDR/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ChadDR/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ChadDR/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ChadDR/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ChadDR/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ChadDR/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ChadDR/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ChadDR/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-12-02T04:17:06Z","updated_at":"2016-12-02T04:17:06Z","body":"I don’t know what you mean by the new animation.
