What is this?

header introduces a page or section — often brand, search, and primary navigation.

Why should you care?

MarkupVerse sites put logo + nav in a page-level header.

  • Not only for the top of the page — article can have its own header.
  • Don’t nest headers confusingly.

  1. Build page header with logo link.
  2. Add primary nav.
  3. aria-label the nav.
  4. Add a search form in header.
  5. Sticky header with CSS later.
