Create Headers & Footers
Kitify now offers never-before-seen flexibility to visually design the header & footer areas.
No website design is complete without a header and a footer. It’s not an exaggeration to say that they play a major role in providing a great user experience by allowing for better navigation throughout the website. Not only that, but they are essential tools for promoting the website’s brand and they are great for placing CTAs.
In the past, tasks like removing the space between the header and the body in WordPress required going into the PHP files of the theme. Now, this task has become much simpler with Elementor’s Theme Builder.
Let’s take a deeper look into how Elementor Theme Builder gives you a powerful way to edit your site’s header and footer, visually designing it however you like.
What Is a Header?
A website header is the top area of your webpage. Usually, the header is consistent throughout your site. However, there are also websites that have different headers for different sections of the website.
The first impression your users will get of your website — whether they’ve reached your homepage, about page, or any other individual post — is through your header design. And, if designed well, it will draw the user’s attention and serve as a hook for them to keep scrolling and read on.
The header can also play an important role in promoting your business’ brand identity
by incorporating elements like the company logo, typography, colors, and the overall brand language.
Headers also contain functional options like site navigation, site search, a shopping cart (for sales sites), call to action (CTA) buttons, and other functions that enhance the user experience and increase conversion rates.
What Is a Footer?
A footer is an area located at the bottom of a webpage. Like headers, they typically appear consistently throughout the website, on all pages and posts.
Footers often receive fairly marginal attention, which is really a wasted potential since the footer repeats itself on every page of the site. They are just as important as the headers.
Your footer design, depending on the settings you choose, can display useful and important information, such as newsletter registration, copyright information, terms of use and privacy, a sitemap, contact information, maps, website navigation, and much more.
How To Edit Your WordPress Header in Kitify
Edit your header and footer easily by following these steps:
Go to WordPress Dashboard > Kitify > ThemeBuilder
