Handsome documentation

Header and footer

Announcement bar

A slim bar above the header for offers and news. Messages can rotate or scroll, and each can link somewhere.

Tips

  • Keep each message short: about 40 characters reads well on a phone.
  • Use the scrolling (ticker) style when you have three or more messages.
  • Add store links (about, contact, FAQ) on the right side on desktop to keep the main menu clean.
