Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What should a header contain?

A website header typically contains a logo, website name, navigation menu, search bar, and call to action (CTA).

What is the top banner of a website called?

While sometimes used interchangeably, there's a slight distinction between header and banner.

A header refers to the entire section at the top of a website, often containing the logo, navigation, and other elements. A banner specifically refers to a rectangular image or graphic displayed within the header, often used for promotional purposes.

Do I need a footer on my website?

Similar to the header, a website footer is not strictly mandatory but highly recommended. A footer can be valuable in providing contact information, copyright notices, additional navigation, socials, and trust badges.
