Title: Request for Customizable Webpage Header Elements

Rosie Hampton-Quiller

I’d like to request an update that allows the webpage header area to be more customizable. At the moment, enlarging the logo isn’t an option, and it currently appears smaller than desired. Would it be possible to set up the header so each element is independent? That way, the logo could be resized without affecting the size or positioning of the other elements.

Navigation Bar

I want to put more than 5 links in the navigation bar. I hope they can implement it soon because 5 links are few.

Sticky elements on the page

Having support for floating or sticky sidebars would allow for persistent supplementary information (like links, summaries, or CTAs) while scrolling through content, especially helpful in blog layouts or long-form pages.

When can we obtain the ability for a sticky navigation bar? This is a basic feature for any website to attract clients and enables a better user experience. When will this feature be possible for a gamma website?

Sticky Menu Navigation

KIP Total Marketing Solutions

Is it possible to create a sticky or non moving menu navigation bar so that when a website visitor scrolls down the page the menu stays visible so that they can click a menu item another page if they wish. Or is there another way for a website visitor to jump back to the top of the page without scrolling up?

Hi Kip,

Not currently possible, but we're planning to make improvements to our navbar later this year

Header section: Split "logo" into Logo icon/image and the site name

D C

Usually you create a logo like the Gamma logo looks: a image/icon/svg and some text for the brand name. Or only the text for the brand name, using whatever font fits.

This is not yet supported by Gamma. Imho it's an easy to do improvement that would make for a very quick or good enough logo insert, by just using a typed name that scales (font) responsively, and an svg icon that fits the site content.

Thanks D C, sites improvements slated for later this year. Will merge into our list of things to improve!

Need better site menu options

Kevin Mireles

Overall I like the capabilities Gamma provides but the header nav functionality is completely lame. You should be able to have different links and then that turn into a hamburger on mobile. The current way you handle it works the opposite of every other Website in the world.

I may be forced to swithc as a result.

Alison (Design @ Gamma)

Hey Kevin Mireles, we do have site header navs – you can enable them in site settings, if you haven't already. They should transform into a hamburger on mobile by default. If this isn't working for you, could you send some screenshots or share more details about what you're looking to achieve?
