Overview

A two-column hero built on a soft cornflower background (#EEF4FF) with 120px of vertical breathing room on desktop, tapering to 80px on tablet and 64px on phone. The row caps at 1200px and uses a 64px column gap so the image and copy read as siblings rather than a stacked pitch — until phone, where the row switches to flexDirection: column and stacks image over text without any manual reordering.

On the left, a Pexels studio photo sits in a 32px-rounded frame with a soft blue box shadow (rgba(37,99,235,0.25) at 60px blur) and a 700ms slide-in-from-left entrance — the playful gesture the layout is named for. On the right, an Outfit 800-weight headline runs at 56px with a tight 1.05 line height and -1px letter spacing, so a punchy line like "Brands built with a wink and a wireframe." holds its shape without wrapping awkwardly; tablet drops it to 44px and phone to 36px.

Beneath the headline, a 19px paragraph in #334E7A carries the studio bio, followed by a fully rounded (999px) pill CTA in #2563EB with a hover state of #1D4ED8 and a 32px blue-tinted shadow that reinforces the accent color. A small 14px trust line in #5B7AA8 sits under the button — the layout's answer to a logo bar without needing extra modules. Spacing is deliberate: 16px between H1 and body, 32px before the button, 8px before the trust line.

What’s inside

  • Two-column Divi row (1_2 / 1_2) that collapses to a single stacked column on phone via `flexDirection: column`
  • Divi Image module with 32px rounded corners, soft blue box-shadow, and a 700ms slide-left entrance animation
  • Divi Heading module set in Outfit 800 at 56px desktop / 44px tablet / 36px phone with -1px letter spacing
  • Divi Text module for the studio pitch at 19px, 1.6em line height
  • Pill-shaped Divi Button (999px radius) in `#2563EB` with a `#1D4ED8` hover state and blue-tinted drop shadow
  • Secondary Divi Text module for a lightweight trust line under the CTA
  • Section-level responsive padding: 120px → 80px → 64px top/bottom across breakpoints
  • 1200px max-width row with 64px column gap and 40px row gap for tidy alignment

Who it’s for

Made for small-to-mid creative studios — branding, identity, packaging, and web design shops — that want a hero which feels handmade without looking amateur. The tone ("a wink and a wireframe") and the studio-photo-plus-bio structure suit agencies with a visible team and a founder story to tell. It also translates well to adjacent service businesses: illustration studios, motion houses, product design consultancies, indie SaaS marketing pages, and boutique marketing agencies pitching founder-led clients. The trust line under the CTA is written for agencies with recognizable client logos, so it's a natural fit for shops six months or more into building a portfolio. Skip it if your brand voice is corporate-serious — the letter-spacing, pill button, and playful copy pattern lean warm and personal.

Customization tips

Start with the palette: the section background (#EEF4FF), the headline navy (#0B1E3F), the button blue (#2563EB / hover #1D4ED8), the body text (#334E7A), and the trust-line grey (#5B7AA8) form one accent system. Swap the button and its box-shadow color together so the glow keeps matching. Replace the Pexels image with a landscape studio or team photo around a 940×650 ratio so it fills the rounded frame without cropping tight faces. Keep the headline to a single line of roughly 40–48 characters — anything longer will wrap and lose the tight -1px letter-spacing rhythm. The bio paragraph is comfortable at 220–280 characters; the trust line stays punchy under about 140. If you don't have marquee client names, rewrite the trust line as a stat ("180+ brands shipped since 2014") rather than deleting the module.

Questions about Playful Agency Hero Layout for Divi 5 — Brooklyn Branding Studio Style

How does the two-column layout behave on mobile?

The row is set to `flexDirection: column` at the phone breakpoint, so the image stacks on top of the headline, bio, button, and trust line automatically. Section padding also drops from 120px to 64px top/bottom on phone so the hero doesn't eat the whole screen.

What Divi modules does this hero actually use?

Five: one Image, one Heading, two Text modules (the bio paragraph and the trust line), and one Button. Everything sits inside a standard Divi section and a two-column row — no third-party modules or code modules required.

Do I have to keep the Pexels image?

No. Replace the Image module's source with your own photo. Aim for a roughly 940×650 landscape crop so it reads cleanly inside the 32px rounded frame and pairs well with the soft blue drop shadow underneath.

Where should I start editing?

Change the headline first (the studio name and tagline), then the bio paragraph, then the button text and its link, then the trust line. Palette swaps come last — do the button color and the image shadow color at the same time so the accent stays consistent.

Will the headline still fit if I make it longer?

It will wrap, but the 56px Outfit 800 setting with -1px letter spacing is tuned for a short, punchy line. Keep it to about 40–48 characters on desktop; if you need more, drop the desktop size to around 48px so two lines still feel balanced.

Can I remove the entrance animation?

Yes — the 700ms slide-from-left is on the Image module's animation settings. Set the animation style to `none` if you'd rather the hero load statically. Nothing else in the layout depends on it.

Which Divi version does this layout need?

Divi 5. The layout is generated natively for Divi 5 and validated against its real module structure before publication, so it imports clean into the current builder.

Can I use this layout on client websites?

Yes. Every download includes a commercial license covering unlimited sites you own or build for clients. Only reselling or redistributing the layout file itself is prohibited.
