Just because a website header is visible on every page of the website, therefore, it must be designed after much thought. Comprehending the purpose of your site and its relevance, a website header must compliment the content that is available on your site without digressing from the theme.

Style of website header also depends on type of website you are designing. Some prefer to add flash images while other choose static graphics. A website header should be designed depending upon what images and style you think will help you to exhibit your area of niche.
