Website layout thread

[tonsunique]

I’ve been messing around with my site’s layout, and honestly, I didn’t think too much about the header until now. Feels like it’s just floating there with no real purpose. I know it’s important for UX and branding, but I’m not sure what I should actually put in it or how to design it so it feels intentional. Any solid resources or tips?

Totally been there. The header is such prime real estate but so easy to overlook. I found this guide on header website design super helpful. It breaks down what makes a header actually work — like how to structure navigation, where to place your CTA, balancing visuals and usability, and even mobile responsiveness. It's not just a list of pretty examples either; it dives into why certain layouts perform better and how to keep it aligned with your brand. Definitely worth checking out if you're aiming for something functional and sharp.
