Header Customization and Formatting
The first thing your visitors see when they get to your site is your ‘header’ and/or ‘headline’ area, it’s truly your website’s ‘first impression’. So, it’s important to make it look good.
In fact, marketers and web designers have a phrase you may have heard of… ‘above the fold’. This phrase refers to everything a visitor sees without having to scroll down the page. Think of it like the cover of a book, it’s what grabs your attention before you start reading. So, it’s important to put something eye-catching or captivating ‘above the fold’, i.e. in your header.
