Description

Instead of having images for the headers (hero images) be static, let's find a way to have admins upload images through the admin.

Acceptance criteria:

  • Create a page for admins to upload hero images.
  • Create a way for admins to crop images to a specific aspect ratio after upload.
  • New image appears on the selected pages.
