Customizing Your Header in Wix
🖌️ The Importance of a Unique Header Design
In this episode of my Wix artist website Series, we’ll explore the process of customizing the header for maximum visual impact. As we continue to build Leanne’s artist website from the ground up, we’ll delve into the intricacies of color schemes, text designs, social bar placement, and adding shape dividers to create a unique and captivating header.
🌈 Designing the Banner
Upon accessing the Wix dashboard, I proceeded to edit Leanne’s website, only to find that the banner appeared rather lackluster. In an effort to enhance its visual appeal, I opted to change the banner color to black and the text color to white for a striking contrast.

Embracing Wix’s versatile customization features, I incorporated a shape divider beneath the header, opting for a textured design to inject a sense of creative flair. By choosing a rough and visually appealing divider, we were able to elevate the visual appeal of the website, adding a unique and artistic touch to the header.
