Adding a button to Instant Site header
A header is the section at the top of your website where you can add different elements to help visitors navigate your site. In your Instant Site, you can add a button to your header to highlight a specific action. For example, you can add a button that will redirect visitors to your online store, or dial a specified number, allowing customers to quickly contact you.
You can customize the text on the button, its appearance, and where it leads.
This article is for the latest version of Instant Site. The old Instant Site version does not support customizing the header. Not sure which version you're using? Find out how to distinguish Instant Site versions and how to update to the latest one.
