Bootstrap 5 no longer has a jumbotron component. The class was dropped in v5, and the official migration guide lists that removal as a breaking change, with the pattern rebuilt from utility classes instead. That matters for Colorlib’s roundup of 34 examples, because the collection mixes new hero sections, older Bootstrap 4 jumbotrons, and at least one example built for a different framework. Use the examples for layout ideas, then rebuild the markup against the current Bootstrap 5.3 documentation before you copy anything.
Does Bootstrap 5 still have a jumbotron?
No. Bootstrap’s migration guide for v5 identifies dropping the jumbotron as a breaking change and says the same visual pattern can be recreated with utilities. If a page you inherited uses a .jumbotron class, that class will not be styled by Bootstrap 5 and needs to be rebuilt.

The migration notes include a v5.3.6 section, so the guidance reflects that release line as of the version examined. Check the page again before you rely on it for a later release.
What the 34 examples actually contain
Colorlib’s article, dated September 28, 2026, splits the collection into two groups. Twelve are new hero sections written for product-style pages. Twenty-two are classic jumbotron examples presented as visual references for full-screen image, video, gradient, and slider treatments. Most of the classic group is written for Bootstrap 4, and one uses Bulma. The table below sets these against Bootstrap’s own official examples, which are the current v5.3 baseline.
#1 Best Overall
| Source | Count | Described use or layout | Framework version | License or attribution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Colorlib new hero sections (Colorlib, September 28, 2026) | 12 | SaaS, agency, app, product, event, restaurant, and travel pages | Not stated per example in the publisher’s summary | Publisher says its hero downloads are free for personal and commercial use under CC BY 3.0 if the credit link is kept |
| Colorlib classic jumbotrons (Colorlib, September 28, 2026) | 22 | Full-screen image, video, gradient, and slider treatments | Most are Bootstrap 4; one uses Bulma | CodePen examples carry their individual authors’ licenses |
| Bootstrap v5.3 heroes | 6 layouts | Centered, screenshot, image-led, signup form, cropped image, and dark color | Bootstrap 5.3 | Not stated in the Bootstrap page reviewed |
| Bootstrap v5.3 jumbotrons | 4 variants | Basic, full-width, icon, and placeholder | Bootstrap 5.3 | Not stated in the Bootstrap page reviewed |
The counts describe this publisher’s collection. They say nothing about how widely any of these patterns is used across the web.
Rebuilding a jumbotron in Bootstrap 5
In v5 the jumbotron is a plain container with utility classes for spacing, background, and corners. The steps below produce the basic version.
- Create an outer
divand give it padding (p-5), a bottom margin (mb-4), a background (bg-body-tertiary), and rounded corners (rounded-3). - Inside it, add a
container-fluidwith vertical padding (py-5) so the content sits inside the grid rather than edge to edge. - Add the heading with
display-5for scale, the supporting text withfs-4, and a button withbtn btn-primary btn-lg.
<div class="p-5 mb-4 bg-body-tertiary rounded-3">
<div class="container-fluid py-5">
<h1 class="display-5 fw-bold">Ship faster with less setup</h1>
<p class="col-md-8 fs-4">One sentence that explains the offer.</p>
<button class="btn btn-primary btn-lg" type="button">Get started</button>
</div>
</div>The result is a card-like block, not a full-bleed band. For a full-bleed look, use the pattern below.
Full-width pattern
Bootstrap’s official jumbotrons page demonstrates a full-width version. The outer element spans the whole viewport and carries the background. Inside it, a .container constrains the text. The outer element does not use a container class, which is what makes the background run edge to edge.
Adding a background image
Bootstrap has no background-image utility for this job, so use a small amount of CSS on the outer element. The overlay keeps white text readable on busy photos. Check the overlay opacity at phone widths, where the text often sits on a different part of the image.
.hero-photo {
position: relative;
background: url("images/hero.jpg") center / cover no-repeat;
color: #fff;
}
.hero-photo::before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
inset: 0;
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.55);
}
.hero-photo .container {
position: relative;
}Put the photo on the outer element and the text inside a .container with .hero-photo applied. Do not use an img tag for a decorative background, because it will not crop the way background-size: cover does.

Choosing a composition for your page
Colorlib’s examples differ on several axes. Compare them on these points before you pick one:
Recommended Free Tools
- Layout: centered, left-aligned, or split (text on one side, visual on the other).
- Visual: text only, inline image, photo background, CSS-built mockup, or video.
- Mobile behavior: how columns stack, how the image is cropped, and whether the call to action stays visible above the fold.
- Motion: whether animation is present and whether it stops for users who request reduced motion.
- Dependencies: framework version, extra scripts, and asset weight.
- License: the terms that apply to each individual asset.
Bootstrap’s own hero examples are a useful baseline for the first three. Its heroes page shows centered, screenshot, image-led, signup-form, cropped-image, and dark-color versions, all written for Bootstrap 5.3.
Narrow screens need their own arrangement
A split desktop hero does not become a good phone layout just by shrinking. Design the narrow arrangement on purpose. Bootstrap’s grid is mobile-first flexbox with a twelve-column system. The grid documentation describes it as “a powerful mobile-first flexbox grid to build layouts of all shapes and sizes thanks to a twelve column system, six default responsive tiers, Sass variables and mixins, and dozens of predefined classes.” The default breakpoints are:
| Tier | Minimum width | Class infix |
|---|---|---|
| xs | Below 576px | None (base classes) |
| sm | 576px | sm |
| md | 768px | md |
| lg | 992px | lg |
| xl | 1200px | xl |
| xxl | 1400px | xxl |
These are the defaults in Bootstrap 5.3. Sass users can change them. Source: Bootstrap Breakpoints documentation.
Colorlib’s new heroes show several mobile-specific changes worth copying:
Do these 3 things before closing this tab:
1Clear out junk files and repair common Windows errors2Fix the driver behind crashes, sound loss and screen glitches3Repair Windows errors before they cause bigger problems- App-store buttons become full width on small screens. In Bootstrap, add
w-100to the button and keep it inside a column that stacks below your chosen breakpoint. - Split layouts drop to a single phone mockup instead of two. Remove the second image at narrow widths rather than scaling both.
- Navigation links move under the logo rather than sitting beside it.
Images need the same care. For a plain inline image, .img-fluid sets max-width: 100% and height: auto. When you use a <picture> element to serve different files, Bootstrap’s Images guidance says to place the .img-* classes on the nested <img>, not on the <picture> wrapper.
Motion, contrast, and media weight
Photo and motion-led heroes carry more risk than text-only ones. Check these before you ship:
- Text contrast at phone sizes. Test the headline and button over the lightest and darkest parts of the image at the narrowest width you support. Colorlib recommends readable overlays for this reason.
- Reduced motion. Wrap any animation in a media query so it stops for users who request reduced motion:
@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
.hero-animated * {
animation: none !important;
transition: none !important;
}
}- Media weight. A large hero photo or video is often the heaviest asset on the page. Compress it, serve smaller crops to narrow screens, and avoid autoplay video on mobile unless the page truly needs it. The examples reviewed do not include independent performance measurements, so measure your own page.
Licenses and version checks before you copy
Treat each source separately:
- Colorlib hero downloads. Colorlib states that its 12 hero downloads are free for personal and commercial use under CC BY 3.0 if the credit link is kept. Confirm the current terms on the publisher’s article before reuse, because the terms can change.
- CodePen examples. These carry their individual authors’ licenses. Read each pen’s license before copying code or assets.
- Bootstrap official examples. Use these as the current v5.3 reference for markup and class names.
- Version. Do not assume a Colorlib example is Bootstrap 5. Look for
.jumbotron,.media, or Bootstrap 4 utility names, and for any Bulma classes, and rebuild those parts with the Bootstrap 5.3 approach shown above.
The examples are visual references. They have not been independently tested for accessibility or load speed, so treat each one as a starting point rather than a verified component.
