The Announcement Bar

Announcement Bar is a great feature available on websites built on Pixpa. You can use it for many purposes.

The Announcement Bar is a full-width bar that sits right on top of your website (above the header) and hence becomes the first thing that your site visitors will notice.
This makes it a great place to highlight any important information that you want your site visitors to see and not miss out.

You can style the announcement bar according to your website design, add a link to the whole bar, or just to a portion of the text in it.
The Announcement Bar appears on all pages of your website until the site visitor decides to close it by using the X button on the right corner.

Note:

This is a premium feature available only on Professional and Advanced plans. Learn more
