What counts as the header and footer

  • Header: The top of your site with your main navigation
  • Footer: The section at the bottom of every page

Step 1: Open the page editor

  1. Navigate to any page on your site
  2. Click Edit

You’ll be taken into the page editor.

Step 2: Edit the page template

  1. In the right sidebar, locate the Template section
  2. Click Edit template

This opens the full page template, which includes:

  • Header
  • Page content
  • Footer

Step 3: Edit the header or footer

  • Click directly into any text to edit it
  • Click links to change where they go
  • Select higher-level blocks to edit entire sections

Common edits:

  • Reorder navigation links
  • Add or remove menu items
  • Create dropdown menus using Add submenu link

Step 4: Replace the header or footer design (optional)

If you want to swap the entire header or footer layout:

  1. Select the parent block
  2. Click Replace
  3. Choose from available built-in designs

You can always switch back if you change your mind.

Step 5: Add a button to your navigation

You can add a button to make your header more action-oriented.

Example:

  1. Add a button block inside the navigation
  2. Enter your button text (ex: “Get a Cash Offer Today”)
  3. Link it to the appropriate page
  4. Remove any duplicate menu links if needed

Tip: Keeping everything on one line is best practice on wider screens.

Step 6: Save and confirm site-wide updates

Click Save.

Any page using this template will update automatically, including:

  • Homepage
  • Interior pages
  • Offer or form pages

Template edits apply site-wide.

Optional: Page-specific layouts

If you want a page to look different (like a landing page without a header or footer):

  • You can edit or create a separate template

This is covered in a separate tutorial.

Don’t forget your logo

  • The logo area uses the Site Identity block
  • Upload your logo once, and it updates everywhere
  • Until a logo is uploaded, your site title will display instead

You can add the Site Identity block anywhere by searching for Logo in the editor.

That’s it.
Edit the template once, and your changes flow across the entire site.
