What is the header?

A website header sits at the top of each page and serves a few very important purposes.

This does more than provide a place for your logo; it is part of a consistent user experience that all good websites share. The design of a header may differ from site to site, but the core features that determine how a site is navigated and experienced remains the same.

This section is usually consistent across all of the pages on the website, however, some designs give the home page a slightly different header appearance in order to draw attention to featured areas of the site.

Overall, a good header makes your website easier to navigate, establishes your brand, and creates a consistent browsing experience throughout your website.
