Create or edit your Header

What is a Header?

Headers appear at the top of most web pages. In general, sites have one standard header used for every page on the site – although some pages on a site may not have a header or need a custom header.

The Header Site Part section of the Theme Builder lists all Headers you’ve created, if any, giving quick access to add, edit, or delete any header.
