30 Clever Website Headers for Design Inspiration

Web design has come a long way in the past decade, thanks in part to the advancing trends of HTML5 and CSS3 specifications. Modern designers have a much larger toolbox along with plenty of online resources to choose from. Great headers are not just pretty, they’re also unique and utilitarian at the same time!

As a complement to the previous footer design gallery I’ve organized a series of inspiring headers for web design inspiration. Some of these websites are brand new while others have been online for years. Make a note of the page elements and typography placement used in each header. Content is a big part of header design but white space is an equally important concept.
