Header Widgets

The contents of header widgets appear at the very top of the page, above the logo/heading. You can choose to place navigation menu(s), social media links, or a search widget here.

These three widgets form this area:

• Header - Left
• Header - Center
• Header - Right

Header - Left

Inside the left header, you might want to insert a few handy links, for example a Contact Us button.
