How to Balance the Primary & Secondary Buttons in Your Divi Fullwidth Header Module

The Divi Fullwidth Header module makes it easy to add beautiful hero sections to your website. The module comes with two buttons, a title text, subtitle text, body text, a logo, and an image, making the customization options endless.

In today’s post, we’re going to demonstrate how to re-create hero sections using the Divi Fullwidth Header. We’ll start our design by using 3 premade layout packs and design our sections with a focus on balancing the primary and secondary buttons. We want the primary button to stand out, as it’s our main call to action while keeping the secondary button visible and accessible without overtaking the primary button.

Design Principles of Primary and Secondary Buttons

Primary buttons and secondary buttons help guide your website visitors towards certain actions. Primary buttons are typically the most common or desired action and secondary buttons are a less common action. This helps guide visitors to where they want to go.

To accomplish this, primary buttons should stand out visually and secondary buttons should not stand out as much. That means primary buttons should be more distinctive and have more visual weight so that it attracts more attention.

Now that we have an understanding of how primary and secondary buttons work, let’s get to the tutorial!

To get started, you will need to do the following:

Install Divi on your WordPress website.
Add a Page and give it a title.
Enable the Visual Builder

Ux Fullwidth Header Design Steps

Now that we have our page set up, let’s start with the fullwidth header for a UX landing page.

Setting Up Our Page

Before we can begin styling, we’ll need to load the free UX premade layout pack from the Divi Library. When you enable the Visual Builder you’ll see three options pop-up, select Choose A Premade Layout.

Load Layout Pack

To do load the UX layout pack onto your page:

In the “Premade Layouts” tab use the search function to find the UX layout pack.
Once you’ve found it click on it. This will bring up the layout details and pages available.
Click on the landing page design, then click “Use This Layout”.

We’ll be recreating the top section of the layout as a fullwidth header module.

Delete First Section

Since we are going to recreate the first section using the Fullwidth Header module instead, we’ll need to delete this section. Hover over the section and click the trash icon.

Add Fullwidth Section

Before we can add the fullwidth header, we need to add a fullwidth section.

Click the “+” arrow to bring up the Divi sections and then click “fullwidth”. This will automatically bring up the Divi Fullwidth Module library.

Add Fullwidth Header

Inside the Divi Fullwidth Module Library, click “Fullwidth Header”.

Adding Content

Before we begin styling the module, let’s add the content needed for this module.

Add Text Content

Underneath the Text tab, add the following content:

Title: Improve Your UX Design Knowledge
Subtitle: UX Design Course
Button #1: Course Overview
Button #2: Learn More
Body: Placeholder text

Add Images

Now that we have our text content in place, we need to add two images to our design.

In the Images tab, add the logo image (the stars) and the header image (the photo of the person holding a phone).

Change Background Color

In the Background tab, configure this setting:

Background Color: #131517

Styling The Fullwidth Header

Now that we have our content set up, let’s add some styling to it via the Design tab.

Scroll Down Icon

Let’s add the scroll down icon, the downward arrow.

This design uses a scroll down icon, so toggle this option to yes.
Select the downward arrow icon and then set the icon color to white.

Image

Let’s add curves to our images by rounding the corners.

In the image tab, configure the following settings:

Image Rounded Corners: Click the chainlink button to unlink the corners, then type 1000px in the bottom left and bottom right input boxes. This will round the bottom left and bottom right corners of our images.

Then click the save icon on the Divi toolbar to save your page design.
Exit the Visual Builder.

Have Fun Experimenting

The ways to style the Divi Fullwidth Header module are endless. Taking advantage of the primary button and secondary button can help direct your visitors to the page you want them to view or take the action (like submit an inquiry) you want them to take.
