Adding a header is an essential step in creating a visually appealing and user-friendly website. In this tutorial, we will explore how to add a header in Webflow, a powerful website builder that allows you to design and develop websites without coding knowledge.
Step 1: Create a New Project
If you haven’t already, sign in to your Webflow account and create a new project. Once you’re in the Webflow Designer, you can start building your website.
Step 2: Access the Navigator
In order to add a header, we need to access the Navigator panel. The Navigator displays the structure of your webpage and allows you to easily select and manipulate elements.
- Click on the ‘Navigator’ tab located on the left side of the Webflow Designer.
Step 3: Add a Section
A good practice is to add a section element before adding your header. The section acts as a container for your content and helps with organization and styling.
- Click on the ‘+’ button inside the Navigator panel to add a new element.
- Select ‘Section’ from the dropdown menu.
Step 4: Add Your Header Element
Now it’s time to add your header element within the section we just created.
- Select the section element from the Navigator panel by clicking on it.
- Click on the ‘+’ button inside the section’s blue outline to add another element inside it.
- Select ‘Heading’ from the dropdown menu.
Step 5: Customize Your Header
Once you’ve added the header element, you can customize it according to your design preferences.
- Click on the header element in the Navigator panel to select it.
- Use the options in the Style panel on the right side of the Webflow Designer to change its font, size, color, and other properties.
