How to Create a Custom WordPress Header & Footer

Headers and footers are global interface components, so they should be built as reusable templates rather than copied into individual pages.

Header priorities

Brand identification, primary navigation and one genuinely important action usually deserve priority. Avoid turning the header into a sitemap.

Footer priorities

Include important navigation, publication or business identity, policy links and disclosures that users reasonably expect.

Divi route

Divi Theme Builder can create and assign global or conditional header and footer templates.

Accessibility

Use semantic navigation, visible focus states, sufficient contrast and controls that work with keyboard and touch.
