Why Make Divi Header Stick To the Top of Page?

Having a sticky site header offers several benefits! They are

Easy Navigation – As the main menu is always displayed, users will feel comfortable navigating your website. It reduces their frustration and saves time since they don’t need to revisit the top of the page to grab the information they are looking for.

Brand Visibility – A professionally designed header with your business details is always visible to your audience; your brand identity will be constantly reminded and establish trust, improving your online visibility.

High conversions – A precisely designed sticky header can gently push your readers to react to your call to action. This will increase your business sales or leads. So, you may wisely use this place to fill out a form or make them purchase your products.
