To remove the header from a specific page in Wix, you need to adjust that page's layout settings within the Wix Editor. This action will also typically remove the footer for that particular page, giving it a streamlined, full-screen appearance often desired for landing pages or special content.
Step-by-Step Guide to Removing a Header (and Footer) from a Single Page
Follow these easy steps within your Wix Editor to customize your page layout:
- Access Pages & Menu: On the left side of the Wix Editor, locate and click on the Pages & Menu icon. This will open a panel displaying all the pages on your website.
- Select the Desired Page: From the list, click on the specific page from which you wish to remove the header.
- Open More Actions: Next to the selected page's name, click the More Actions icon (usually represented by three dots
...). - Go to Settings: A dropdown menu will appear. Click on Settings.
- Navigate to Layouts: In the Page Settings window, click the Layouts tab.
- Choose No Header & Footer: Under the layout options, select No Header & Footer. This will apply the changes to your chosen page, making its header and footer invisible.
Remember to Save and Publish your site after making these changes for them to go live.
When to Consider Removing Your Page Header
Removing your header (and footer) can be a powerful design choice for various reasons, offering a more focused user experience:
- Landing Pages: Ideal for marketing campaigns where you want users to focus solely on a call to action without the distractions of site navigation.
- Coming Soon Pages: Create anticipation for new content or a site launch with a clean, unbranded look.
- Promotional Pages: Highlight special offers, contests, or events, ensuring all attention is on the promotion.
- Full-Screen Content: Perfect for pages showcasing large images, videos, or interactive elements that benefit from an edge-to-edge display.
- Legal or Privacy Pages: While less common, some prefer a minimal design for pages like privacy policies to maintain a professional, no-distraction presentation.
Important Notes
- Page-Specific Change: This method applies the "No Header & Footer" layout only to the selected page. Your site's main header and footer will remain visible on all other pages that use the standard layout.
- Impact on Navigation: Be aware that removing the header means removing the primary navigation menu. Ensure that users can still access other parts of your site if necessary, perhaps through a button or a dedicated link on the page itself.
- SEO Considerations: While aesthetic, ensure your page still provides sufficient content and internal linking to be discoverable and valuable for search engines.
