How to add a website header
With the SendPulse website builder, you can add the Header element to highlight key points and ensure seamless navigation.
In this article, we'll talk about how to add a website header using the SendPulse website builder.
Add the element
Click Add block, and in the Header section, select a template.
Header is a sitewide block, meaning that it appears on all website pages. All changes you make to it are automatically synchronized. You can hide this block on specific pages using their settings.
Your header widgets may vary depending on the template. By default, it includes one or two rows and the Logo, Menu, Socials, and Button widgets.
Set up the layout
A row is a customizable section with preset parameters. To modify a row, hover over it, and select Edit from the Row dropdown menu.
You can edit, add, move up and down, delete, and customize rows to your preferences. To customize a row, click Edit, and adjust its background color, background image, inner padding, column spacing, and content alignment.
Customize the content
Widgets
You can edit your current template widgets or add new ones to improve your header. Hover over a widget, and click + Add widget.
You can add the Buttons, Text, Payment, Chatbots, Socials, Login, Menu, and Logo widgets.
The Login widget is exclusive to course websites. You can only add the Logo widget to your website header once. Read more: How to create a website: Add widgets.
