Content placement decides where your headline sits over the hero photo — and the booking search bar travels with it. Choose it when the words are in the wrong place; choose the Medallion placement when you want a boutique, crest-style brand moment instead of a text headline.
Where: Property editor → left rail → Home → right panel → Hero tab → expand Text & style → Content placement. On collection sites: Home → Brand → Hero style → Content placement.
Content placement only appears when the words are on the photo — the Full bleed (and Carousel) hero layouts. Billboard and Collage put the title in a band below the image, so there's nothing to place. See Hero Layouts.
Where (property site): Property editor → left rail → Home → right panel → Hero tab → Text & style (expand) → Content placement cards Where (collection site): Collection editor → left rail → Home → right panel → Brand tab → Hero style → Content placement cards Applies when: Property sites: only when the Hero layout is Full bleed (or Carousel). Billboard and Collage put the title in a band, so there is nothing to place. Collection sites: always available under Brand → Hero style.
| Option | What it does | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Centered | Headline centered, full search bar overlaid near the bottom. | Symmetric photos where the middle of the image is clear (sky, water, an open lawn). Pair with the Top fade overlay. |
| Stacked | Headline grouped low, full search bar overlaid directly beneath. | Photos whose top half is the interesting part — the headline and search bar group low so the top stays clear. Pair with the Bottom fade overlay. |
| Editorial left | Headline lower-left with a compact search pill that expands on click. | Photos with a strong right-hand subject; the headline sits lower-left with a compact search pill. Pair with the Left fade overlay. |
| Minimal | Full-bleed hero photo — the booking bar sits just below the fold. | A photo-first look with a full-bleed image and the booking bar just below the fold. |
| Classic band | Hero photo with the full booking bar in a clean band at the base. | A framed photo with the complete booking bar in a clean band at its base. |
| Billboard | Full-bleed hero photo; title, rating and details sit in a clean band just below the image. | Keeping the photo pristine — nothing is overlaid; title, rating and details sit in a band under the image (this is the Billboard layout). |
| Medallion — Stacked | A centered crest — your emblem and a short title stacked in a frosted circle. | A boutique, crest-like brand moment: emblem + short title stacked inside a frosted circle in the middle of the hero. |
| Medallion — Arc | A centered crest — title curved along the top, tagline along the bottom. | The same centered crest with the title curved along the top and the tagline along the bottom. |
| Medallion — Logo only | A centered crest — just your emblem in a frosted circle. | A logo-only crest — just your emblem in the disc. |
Each placement has a matching Hero overlay that darkens only the part of the photo the text needs (Centered ↔ Top fade, Stacked ↔ Bottom fade, Editorial left ↔ Left fade). Pick the placement first, then the overlay, then — if the photo's subject is still under the words — drag the focal point on that slide. Details: Hero Overlay, Text & Badges and Positioning Your Hero Photos.
The Medallion placement replaces the text headline with a centered disc holding your emblem and a short title — a crest. Selecting it reveals a Medallion content block with every option below.
Where (property site): Property editor → left rail → Home → right panel → Hero tab → Text & style → Content placement → Medallion card → "Medallion content" block appears below Where (collection site): Collection editor → left rail → Home → right panel → Brand tab → Hero style → Content placement → Medallion card → Medallion content block Applies when: Only when Content placement is Medallion. Range: Frost opacity 0–100 (default 55); Gradient strength 0–100 (default 70); Lighten fill 0–100 (default 0).
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Stacked (layout) | A centered crest — your emblem and a short title stacked in a frosted circle. |
| Arc (layout) | A centered crest — title curved along the top, tagline along the bottom. |
| Logo only (layout) | A centered crest — just your emblem in a frosted circle. |
| Transparent (background) | No disc — the emblem and text float directly on the photo. |
| Frosted (background) | A translucent, blurred disc (the default). "Frost opacity" sets how opaque it is. |
| Solid (background) | An opaque disc in the surface color. |
| Gradient (background) | A black radial scrim behind the crest. "Gradient strength" sets how dark it is. |
| None (ring) | No inner ring. |
| Inset (ring) | A thin inset ring just inside the disc edge (a "seal" double border). |
| Dotted (ring) | A dotted inner ring. |
| None (separator) | Nothing between the title and subtitle. |
| Hairline (separator) | A short hairline between the title and subtitle. |
| Diamond (separator) | A small diamond ornament between them. |
| Dot (separator) | A small dot between them. |
| Small (logo-size) | Emblem size "Small" inside the disc. |
| Medium (logo-size) | Emblem size "Medium" inside the disc. |
| Large (logo-size) | Emblem size "Large" inside the disc. |
| Extra large (logo-size) | Emblem size "Extra large" inside the disc. |
| You want… | Change |
|---|---|
| The disc to hide less of the photo | Background → Transparent, or keep Frosted and lower Frost opacity. |
| A darker, moodier crest | Background → Gradient and raise Gradient strength. |
| The disc in a brand color | Surface color → Primary / Secondary; use Lighten fill to blend white in if it's too saturated. |
| A different emblem than the header logo | Upload a Medallion logo — it overrides the header/secondary logo inside the disc so the mark isn't repeated on the page. Turn on Medallion logo color to recolor it to match. |
| Just typography, no emblem | Turn Show logo off (Stacked or Arc layouts). |
| A "seal" look | Inner ring → Inset (double border) or Dotted; add a Separator between title and subtitle. |
| The subtitle above the title | Title & subtitle order → reversed. |
| The title curved around the top | Layout → Arc. |
| The title too long for the disc | Shorten the Medallion title (it's meant to be 1–3 words) and move the rest into the Medallion subtitle. |
