Woo Header
Features: woo cart, product search, logo image/site title, tagline, social icons, menuÂ
Best for sites with larger/vertical logos, minimal header content, and an even number of single-word navigation links
- Make sure there are an equal number of single-word navigation links before selecting this header option. (no more than 3 navigation links on either side, the links on each side are similar in character length)
- Create 3 menus: the first menu "main" will contain all nav links, the second menu "main-1-half" will contain the first 2-3 links, and the third menu "main-2-half" will contain the last 2-3 links
- Choose "main-1-half" as the menu on the left-side, and "main-2-half" as the menu on the right
- For medium/small screens, this split header row is set to be hidden
- In themer builder view you'll see the row for small screens appear at the top (currently hidden on desktop) - for this row choose "main" as the menu
Header 8
Hero within header layout
Website Header
Features:Â logo/site title, tagline, social icons, menu, hero imageÂ
Woo Header
Features: woo cart, product search, logo image/site title, tagline, social icons, menu, hero image
This layout is best for when you wish to place the navigation below the hero image, or if you would like the hero image to be emphasized/consistent across all pages.
- Avoid this header option for all builds unless the customer only wants ONE hero image used across the site
- Only use this header if the logo and header information is not going to be washed out by the hero image in the header (in very few scenarios does this header end up looking good after the build comes back)
- If the customer chooses header 8, but asks for different hero images on each page, chances are they want a transparent header overlaying the hero e.g. header 3 - use your design knowledge to decide on a better option over header 8 based on their content and leave notes for the QA team briefly stating why header 8 was a bad choice for them.
- Do NOT use sticky nav with this header.
