If you want to draw in more visitors to your website and make them stay, you have to create an engaging website. Adding well-designed buttons to the header is one effective technique for boosting engagement and prompting desired actions. These buttons generally push users to carry out specific actions, like making a purchase, subscribing, or just digging deeper.
The header section is the perfect spot for any buttons. It’s one of the first things visitors notice, so it’s perfect for important elements like the site’s title, navigation, logo, CTA buttons, and all.
Providing a button helps boost conversions by directing users to a particular page. To make it effective, of course, the button has to stand out from other links in the header menu.
Adding a button to the header in WordPress in block themes is now easier and more flexible than ever before. If you’re still confused about how to do that, let me walk you through it. This blog will show it all.
