Info For most header layouts you can choose between two menu types. For further information, refer to Pick a menu type.

This header layout only offers this menu type. To the right, the visitor can select a search icon to open the search bar. With this narrow header, you can display your logo / shop name, menu, and search icon in one line. As the menu is folded, the focus of this layout is on your brand. Furthermore, the folded menu is a good choice for large menu structures, as it is only visible when selected and thus allows your visitors to focus on your website content without being overwhelmed by a large number of menu items. Option 2 General Brand Search The logo / shop name, the main menu, and the search icon are displayed on one line. The logo / shop name is displayed on the very left.
