Main approach

Keep the website header visible while scrolling. This improves navigation and user experience, especially on long pages.
Usage
Apply the .site-header class to your header element.
<header class="site-header">
<!-- Header Content -->
</header>
.site-header {
position: sticky;
top: 0;
z-index: 999;
background: #fff;
box-shadow: 0 2px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
}Keeps your site header fixed to the top of the screen as visitors scroll, so navigation stays within reach on long pages. Includes a
-webkit-fallback for older browsers and a variable-driven setup so you can tweak the height, colour, and shadow in one place. Add the.site-headerclass to your header element.
:root {
--header-bg: #fff;
--header-shadow: 0 2px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
--header-z: 999;
}
.site-header {
position: -webkit-sticky; /* Safari fallback */
position: sticky;
top: 0;
z-index: var(--header-z);
background: var(--header-bg);
box-shadow: var(--header-shadow);
}
/* Optional: only show the shadow once the user starts scrolling */
.site-header.is-scrolled {
box-shadow: var(--header-shadow);
}
.site-header {
transition: box-shadow 0.2s ease;
}
