Banner
Communicate information or drive action via in-line banners
About this component
The Banner
component is a versatile, persistent UI component that typically span the full width of a page or container, often at the top or bottom of the page. They serve as an unobtrusive way to communicate important information and promote additional offerings without disrupting the user’s workflow.
When to use Banners:
- Alerts: Ideal for notifying users about critical updates, such as free trial expirations or scheduled maintenance.
- Lightweight Up-sells: Effective for promoting related products or features, banners can be strategically targted and placed next to relevant content.
Advantages of Banners:
- Non-Disruptive Communication: Since banners remain visible without interrupting the user experience, they allow users to continue their tasks while still being informed.
- Flexible Design Options: Banners can be customized with full-bleed graphics and images, making them visually appealing and engaging. Frigade supports custom components including on-brand, eye-catching banners.
Best Practices for Banners:
- Use Collections: Leverage Collections to define reusable in-app UI channels, enabling teams to efficiently manage and launch banners across different pages, such as your product dashboard or a specific product pages.
- Regulate Frequency: Control the frequency of banner displays to ensure they remain relevant and engaging without overwhelming users.
- Make Dismissible: Most often, banners are easily dismissible for the best user expeirence. In select cases, banners may be non-dismissible to communicate a critical message for some time (e.g. product downtime).
