Content promo banners
Content promo banners are used to link to a story or another page. There are several display options shown below.
Regular
For pages with a left-hand menu.
Full width
This is for one-column pages. The banner spans the width of the page/the user's browser.
Parallax
For one-column pages. The image scrolls at a different speed to the other content.
