What is the Hello Biz Header?
Headers appear at the top of your site’s pages. They usually contain your site’s logo, navigation links for quick access to important pages and a CTA button.

Customizing your Header

Customize the Header options
The Header has three sections:
- Brand: Use a logo or business name to identify the site.
- Navigation: Create quick links to the site’s pages.
- Call to Action: Provide visitors a quick way to interact with you.
- In the Brand section, the dropdown menu should be in the default position of Site Logo.
Selecting a logo is part of customizing your site.
You can change your logo by clicking Change Site Logo in the panel. For details, see Adding images and icons.
If you prefer to use the site name in the Header, use the dropdown menu to choose Site Name. - The Navigation section controls the quick links to the site’s other pages. For now, we’ll leave that at the default settings. See below for all the navigation options.
The Call to Action section controls the button in the Header. Since this is a Header for a sports bar, we’ll put a link to the reservation form here.
- Open the Call to Action section.
- In the Primary CTA text box, enter Reserve Now.
- In the Link field enter the URL of the reservation form.
Now let’s change the style of the Call to Action button so that it changes when users mouse over the button.

- Open the Call to Action section.
- Click Hover.
Clicking Hover means that you are editing the style when users mouse over the button.
