Use the HTML

Using the HTML ><>><><>> ><>> ><>><> < src alt="Website Banner">

Pros:

• SEO-friendly since search engines can index images.
  
• Accessible when combined with alt text for screen readers.
  
• Easy to style with CSS properties like width, height, or opacity.
  

Cons:

• Doesn’t naturally behave like a background.
  
• Content may shift when the image loads.
  
• Harder to overlay text or other elements on top without extra CSS.
  
• Using the background-image property:
  
• Designed specifically for decorative images or layout purposes.
  

Example:

 .hero {
  background-image: url("banner.jpg");
  background-size: cover;
  background-position: center;
}

Pros:

• Perfect for decorative or non-essential images.
  
• Makes it easy to overlay text, gradients, or colors.
  
• Offers more control over positioning and scaling.
  

Cons:

• Not SEO-friendly since it’s considered purely decorative.
  
• No alt text option.
  
•  Best Practice: Use ><>> ><>
