00:00:00In this video, I'm going to discuss the header widget
-
00:00:03The header widget is a useful way of displaying content at the very top of a website
-
00:00:09In fact, that's what separates the header widget from many other widgets such as the content block, is that the header widget will always display at the very top of a website regardless of where the widget
-
00:00:21is actually placed in the list
-
00:00:24So, when you create a header, always know that this will always be the top most widget that people will see
-
00:00:31And this is often used to create the top of a website and the first widget you will likely want to start with when you're creating your site
-
00:00:40When you create your header, it's just like most other widgets such as a content block
-
00:00:46You have your main options at the top and you can control the height on the desktop versus the mobile and you can even set your backgrounds
-
00:00:56So, if you want an image or even a solid color or other effects or even a video, you can change that background right here
-
00:01:04If you're doing an image, simply upload the image by dragging and dropping or by browsing and uploading the image from your computer
-
00:01:12You can then put your title, subtitle and text right here
-
00:01:17As you can see, we have a subtitle
-
00:01:19And then we even have images which you can upload for the actual header
-
00:01:24Separate from the background images, the standard images will be on top of the background and you can upload as many images as you would like
-
00:01:34Simply drag and drop or browse and upload from your computer
-
00:01:37When you upload the image, you can control the settings such as where that image is aligned
-
00:01:43Also, the space that it takes up and you can even add filters for Instagram like effects
-
00:01:50If you wish to add a video, you can do so here by pasting the video URL such as from YouTube, Vimeo or Facebook
-
00:01:58And if you add multiple images, you can control the slider effects right here
-
00:02:04Once you've added any images, you can also add buttons as well
-
00:02:09Simply click add a new button and this will let you create a button on that header
-
00:02:13Please watch the buttons tutorial for more information about how buttons work
-
00:02:18And you even have standard width alignment and animations for the widget as well
-
00:02:25Not to mention additional options which most other widgets have, which will let you control whether this is displayed on mobile only or desktop only
-
00:02:33Once you have added all of your content to the header, remember to save and update when you are complete
-
00:02:41This will update your website and update that header as well, which you should see at the very top of that page
-
00:02:50And that's how easy it is to use the header widget
