  • Could you be a Tysoe HERO?

    Could you be a Tysoe HERO?

    A hero image is a web design term used to describe the full-screen video, photo, illustration or banner that welcomes visitors to a webpage.

    The image always has a prominent place near the top of a webpage, sometimes, as it does here, extending across the full width of the screen. 

    Would YOU like to feature on the front page of Tysoe Online? We know from the many wonderful images shared on social media that Tysoe has its fair share of budding photographers, so why not share your handiwork for a wider audience to see at full size?

    And no, you don’t need to have an expensive DSLR camera to take part, smart phones capture quite enough detail to display beautifully on desktops, tablets and mobiles.

    So – let us see your masterpieces!

    Head over to the CONTRIBUTE page.
