How to Add and Edit Headers in Hostinger Website Builder
Your header sits at the top of every page and typically holds your logo, main navigation, and contact details. Here's how to set it up:
Access the Header Settings: Go to the design or layout section in your Hostinger Website Builder dashboard.
Add Your Logo: Click on the logo area to upload your image. You can adjust the alignment to match your overall design.
Customize Navigation Links: Rearrange your navigation links so they make sense for visitors. You can also change the font and color to match your brand.

Pixelhaze Tip: Always preview your changes on desktop and mobile views to make sure the header works well on all devices.
Editing and Customizing Footers
Hostinger doesn't let you remove footers completely, but you can customize them to keep things clean and on-brand.
Navigate to Footer Settings: Find this in the design settings section of your dashboard.
Adjust Content and Layout: Keep your footer simple by reducing the number of links or changing the layout so it doesn't dominate the page.
Customize Design Elements: Change text sizes, colors, and fonts to stay consistent with the rest of your website.
Pixelhaze Tip: Use your footer space for essential links or copyright notices without overwhelming visitors.
