[Classic Experience Only] How to Design a Beautiful Header (Inspired by ShortPoint Demos Website)

ShortPoint Theme Builder offers you a variety of features to experiment with. One of them is modifying the header of your website. With custom fonts, colors, margins and paddings, backgrounds and an option to hide or show certain elements, you can make your site header stand out and be convenient and beautiful at the same time.


In this article, we would like to tell you more about header customization, and we will take our Demos Website header as an example. Here it is:

Go to the Site Contents / Site Settings > ShortPoint > Theme Builder and click Customize my Site.


Step 2. Modify the Header Layout


Navigate to Header > General Layout


Enable Full width header, Header shadow and set the preferred depth of the shadow (we have chosen level 3).



Step 3. Hide the elements


Return to the main Theme Builder menu. 


Navigate to the General Settings > Elements > All Sites (or choose the scope you prefer, for example, only Home Page).


Enable the following options: Focus Mode, Hide Site Info, Hide Logo, Hide Search.



Step 4. Update the Header spacings


Go back to the main Theme Builder menu.


Navigate to the Header > Paddings and margins
