An Overview on Divi Header Types, Tutorials & Freebies

Ever since the Divi Theme Builder has come out, the way we create Divi headers has changed for the best. We can add any element we want, style it using Divi’s built-in design options and create a seamlessly responsive experience. Over the last couple of months, we’ve been keeping an eye on how we can help you get the best out of your header designs through tutorials and freebies. At some point, navigating through all these different header types, tutorials and freebies can become a bit confusing, that’s why we’ve set up this post that you can always come back to. This post will feature the different header types you can create, which include a free download file too. Alongside the free download, you get a step-by-step tutorial that helps you understand what you’re creating and how you can tweak things to match your own needs.

The second part of this post focuses on some tips and tricks that have often been asked in the Divi community, we show you how t solve a certain problem or achieve a design without having to lose time trying to figure it out yourself. Last but not least, we’ve listed all the header freebies that you can download and use right away.

Header Types

1. Regular Header

divi header tutorials

The first header type tutorial that came out on the blog when the Divi Theme Builder was released is a regular header. This tutorial focuses on getting familiar with the Divi Theme Builder environment and building a global header. We’ve included a top bar with a logo, social follow icons and a button. The navigation bar dynamically features the menu items that can set up in the backend of your WordPress website.

2. Sticky Header

If you’re looking to set up a header that’s sticky too, you’ll want to get familiar with this post. Besides showing you how to set up a proper header structure, including top bar, the tutorial shows you how to turn your header sticky too, using Divi’s built-in sticky options. The styles of the elements in the header change on scroll as well, which gives the header a completely new look and feel.

3. Fullscreen Header

A top header bar isn’t the only way to allow navigation on your website, of course, so next up we have a fullscreen header. In this tutorial, we’re showing you how to build an entire custom fullscreen header with Divi. All the items inside your menu are modules and the click function is enabled by some JQuery code that’s included in the tutorial and download file. A couple of freebies that use this similar approach are:

  1. PR Firm Header & Footer Template Template
  2. Italian Restaurant Header & Footer Template
  3. Freelance Writer Header & Footer Template
  4. Financial Advisor Header & Footer Template

4. Slide-In Header

Up next, we have a header that slides in from the right side. This tutorial, too, is based on Divi’s built-in elements. You can place anything you want inside your slide-in menu and create an entirely responsive environment with responsive options. The click function has taken its form through some custom JQuery code that’s included in the tutorial as well as the freebie template JSON file.

5. Slide Down Push Header

Another cool header type in our list is a slide down push header. When the hamburger icon is clicked, the header slides down from the top and pushes the page content down. This gives a fun and beautiful effect across all screen sizes.

6. Vertical Navigation

divi header tutorials

Another way of providing visitors with effortless navigation is by using a vertical navigation bar. If you’re looking for a way to do that inside the Divi Theme Builder, make sure you check this tutorial. The vertical navigation takes up its own space inside the browser, which narrows the page content’s width and creates a beautiful side-by-side page structure.

7. Transparent Floating Header

divi header tutorials

If you’re looking to add a header on top of your page or post content, this tutorial is made for you! We’re using a transparent header with three different elements; a logo, menu and button.  These three elements are placed on top of the page content through an absolute CSS position. The result is highly responsive too, and gives a nice cohesive outcome on your website.

9. Transparent Sticky Header

divi header tutorials

This tutorial is slightly similar to the previous one, with one big difference; as soon as visitors scroll down the page or post they’re on, the navigation bar turns sticky and changes styles. This allows you to get the best out of your hero section design at the top of the page while keeping an effortless navigation going on while visitors are scrolling down.

10. Rotated Header

If you’re looking for a more out-of-the-box design for your website, you might want to consider going for a rotated transparent header. This header type is placed on the side of your website and follows your visitors throughout their visit on your pages. It gives a more sophisticated look and feel to your desktop design while keeping that effortless top bar experience on smaller screen sizes.

11. Custom eCommerce Dropdown

divi header tutorials

The bigger your website gets, the harder it is to find a good way to list all pages on your website. That’s where mega menus come in handy. Although you can always fall back to Divi’s built-in mega menu, if you’re looking for a more Divi-built environment where you can add as many modules as you want, this is the tutorial for you. Especially for eCommerce websites, it can come in handy to feature different product categories in an attractive and highly-visual way. Although this tutorial is a more “advanced” type of resource, the code foundation has been set for you, which allows you to get as creative as you want with the design. Make sure that even when you’re using the template JSON file for this tutorial, you go through the few steps that are needed to bring this mega menu to life.

12. Custom Elegant Themes’ Dropdown

Ever since the Divi Theme Builder has come out, people have been wondering how to create Elegant Themes’ seamless navigation dropdowns. This tutorial focuses on showing you exactly how to replicate the Elegant Themes dropdown menu inside the Divi Theme Builder. Even more so, it allows you to add any kind of modules you want and create your own unique variation of the menu.

Tips & Tricks

In this part of the overview post, we’re sharing the different tips and tricks in a tutorial form. Every one of these posts includes an A to Z experience. This means that we don’t only show you how to achieve the trick, we also guide you through the entire header build process, which gives you the choice; do you want to use the entire design for your own purposes, or only focus on that specific tip and trick.
