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.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the existing admin panel structure and image handling in the codebase. Look for any existing upload or cropping mechanisms. Design a new admin page for hero image upload with cropping capability, possibly using a JavaScript library like Cropper.js. Implement backend storage and retrieval for the images.
