'Nadia' Template Features

Header image

The ‘Nadia’ theme features a header image below the ‘Title and Menu,’ layered under your Call-to-Action Header. Each Bandzoogle template offers different header sizes and options. You can adjust your ‘Header image height’ to fill more space on the first page of your website. There are no header images for inner pages.

In your ‘Header’ area, you can adjust your ‘Title and Menu’ height to make the ‘Header image’ more prominent, or to keep your ‘Title and Menu’ more distinct.

With the ‘Title and Menu’ options, you can add a solid color or adjust the opacity to let the page background image appear. You can adjust the height and border size to control the interplay between the header image and the ‘Title’ and ‘Menu.’

You can adjust your ‘Header’ area display options in the ‘Edit Theme’ tab, modifying it as follows:

  • Add an image filter
