One of the key reasons why Magento 2 stands out as a top choice for entrepreneurs worldwide is its unmatched customization options. From the appearance of your online store to various features and extensions, Magento 2 empowers you to tailor every aspect to your liking, ultimately enhancing your understanding of sales-driving factors.

Today, we’ll explore one of the most popular customization methods for Magento 2 themes: adding banners. Banner sliders offer an effective way to showcase promotions, new products, essential information like schedules and contact details, and other announcements to grab your customers’ attention promptly.

While adding a banner in Magento 2 isn’t overly complicated, it does require attention to detail, especially in the beginning stages. Let’s briefly outline the steps you’ll need to follow.

Add Banner in Magento Using Blocks and Widgets

To add banners in Magento using the simplest method, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to Content > Blocks and click on the Add New Block button.

  2. Enable the block, provide a Block Title and Identifier, and choose the Store View where you want to display it.

  1. Head to Content > Widgets and click on Add Widget button.

  2. Fill in all the necessary widget settings

Select CMS Static Block as the Type, specify the Design Theme, and click Continue.

Complete the Storefront Properties:

  • Provide a Widget Title for the CMS block.

  • Assign to Store Views where it will be visible.

Another method to add banners in Magento is by directly adding them to the CMS page. Here’s how:

  1. Navigate to Content > Elements > Pages and choose the page where you want to place your banner.

  2. Use the Image Insert tool to add the banner to the page content, then save the page.
