Variations

The Global Header Component offers three distinct variants to suit different design needs: Default, Focused, and Minimal. Each variant provides a unique layout and functionality, ensuring flexibility and consistency across the site.


Default

The Default variation of the Global Header includes a comprehensive layout featuring the site logo, main navigation, and a utility navigation. The main navigation offers a mega menu dropdown for easy access to various site sections. The utility navigation provides additional functionalities, including a search bar, language selector (EN|ES), login option, and a donate button.

Focused

The Focused variation of the Global Header streamlines the user experience by displaying only the search bar, login option, and a hamburger menu by default. When activated, the hamburger menu expands to reveal the main navigation as a drawer menu, providing a clean and minimalist interface.

Minimal

The Minimal variation of the Global Header offers an even more streamlined design. It is similar to the Focused variation but without the search bar. By default, it displays only the login option and a hamburger menu, with the main navigation accessible through an expandable drawer menu.
