Figma to PayloadCMS — Part 5: Building a Custom Hero/Banner Section (Headings, Media & CTA Fields)

The Hero section is the first thing visitors see — so it needs to be both visually powerful and fully editable by your clients. In this video, we build the Hero/Banner collection in PayloadCMS, matched precisely to our Figma design. 🎯 What you'll learn: • Structuring a Hero block with heading, subheading & body text fields • Adding a background image/video field using the media collection • Building a flexible CTA button group (primary + secondary links) • Using rich text fields vs simple text — and when to choose each • Making the Hero reusable as a block for multiple pages • Previewing live Hero data via the Payload REST API 🔑 Key concept: A well-designed Hero schema lets editors update the entire banner — copy, media, and CTAs — without touching a single line of code. 📌 Following along?
