Strata includes several media sections because each one solves a different layout problem. Start with the simplest structure that communicates the story clearly.
| Need | Recommended section |
|---|---|
| One large image or video, optionally with several slides | Media hero |
| One or two independent linked promotions | Split media banners |
| One focused video | Video |
| A mixed image, video, and text composition | Flexible media grid |
| A draggable visual comparison | Before and after |
| A deliberately moving editorial image wall | Parallax waterfall |
| Partner or stockist marks | Logo carousel |
| Community or social-style cards | Auto-scroll gallery |
Avoid choosing a carousel only to fit more content. If every item must be seen, a static grid or collection section is usually easier to scan.
