Header
Found at the very top of a web page, a header is a key navigational and informational tool for website users—housing a brand’s logo, links to high-priority marketing pages and resources, and often a site search bar.
Footer
The heavy-weight counterpart to headers, footers live at the very end of a web page. These often act as a mini site map, structuring key content groups on your domain and providing links to lower-priority pages, as well as offering subscription fields and social media links.
What is a Global Header and Footer?
A global header or footer is applied across all pages of your site. This helps maintain a consistent look, improves user experience, and makes managing changes easier.
Setting a Section as a Header or Footer
To create a global header or footer in Vev:
Add or select a section on your canvas.
In the Layers panel, drag the section to either the Header or Footer layer.
You can also select the section and click Header, Main, or Footer to set its position:
Header: Top of the page
Main: Between the header and footer
Footer: Bottom of the page
Decide if this section should apply to all or only selected pages.
Editing a Header or Footer
You can edit a header or footer like any regular section. However, changes will appear on all pages where it’s applied.
Editing Permissions
Admins/Designers: Can set sections as headers or footers and choose where they appear.
Content Editors: Can edit text and images in the header or footer, but can’t change its position or settings. Changes apply to all or selected pages.
