Have you noticed that many popular sites like Microsoft.com, Apple.com, DevExpress.com, and others are now using a big banner image in the center of their front page?
That large banner image in the middle is called a “Hero graphic”. And it’s very useful to present to your website visitors important information:
The hero graphic is often the first visual a visitor encounters on the site and its purpose is to present an overview of the site's most important content. A hero graphic often consists of image and text, can be static or dynamic (e.g. a rotating list of images and/or topics).
The content presented varies with the purpose of the site: it can be relevant news about the site, specific site-links, or - in the case of e-commerce - the best-selling or strategically placed products or services. –Wikipedia
