Sticky (Fixed) Header

cartunited — Mon, 06 Jan 2020 11:25:33 +0000

Persistent navigation bars – or “sticky headers” – are now a web design standard.

Sticky navigation works best with retail, e-commerce and other types of ‘actionable’ sites – sites where the designer intends a specific action, such as a click to purchase a product. In those cases, sticky navigation has been shown to significantly improve the customer experience, as well as keeping users oriented and giving them more control.

In pages with lots of content and long scroll, navigation must be friendly and intuitive. Clear and understandable in-page navigation helps visitors make a smooth journey through the content on the page in a manageable way. While in the past this was achieved by ‘back to top’ links, today it’s sticky navigation that does the job.

On online stores using sticky headers, customers are able to see the number of items in cart and access search and navigation menu at all times and without a need to scroll, which impoves user experience and is proven to increase conversion rates.

Cart Counter Not Updating

One of the most common issues when using Ajax Cart (stay on current page when adding to cart) is the one with cart counter not being updated instantly, but only on page change/refresh.

This issue affects user experience, as it’s not clear enough whether the item is added to cart and in correct quantity, and fixing it would spare your customer from doing extra steps in order to see the cart count.

Search Icon (Popup)

Primarily, only a search icon appears on the screen, and when the user clicks on it the search form appears in a form of a popup. It is a neat effect that also saves space and allows users to focus on the content. Not to mention, this is great for mobile responsive themes.

Are you looking to make your dropdown menu more appealing?

A good way to do so is to add product/collection images next to their titles, as it provides a better representation of what awaits after someone clicks on the menu item.

We can also implement it in such a way that it allows you to upload custom icons for all your menu items.
