Hi,
I am not entirely happy with the styling of my header area. http://greenshorebuilders.com.au/ I would like the phone, email and social all on one line and possibly a few pixels smaller, and black in color. Then I would like to have my nav bar inline and centred with the logo (which I think I can manage if the other things in the header were addressed).

Also, when viewed on mobile phone, the phone is above the logo and the email and social are below the logo. I am happy to pay someone for some custom styling if that’s what it takes!

I want to purchase X again for other websites I am working on but need to be able to style the headers the way the clients want them and I am not experienced with custom coding so any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you
Jo

Hi,

You can add this under Custom > Edit Global CSS in the Customizer.

.header-contact .x-social-global a {
    padding: 0 10px;
}

.header-contact .x-social-global,
.header-contact ul {
     display:inline-block;
     vertical-align:top;
}

With regards to your navbar, it’s too long to fit the navbar container.

This particular situation is simply a matter of reworking your content to properly fit the physical limitations presented by the theme (this is a consideration that must be taken into account with all themes and designs). It is the same principal applied to filling up a room with furniture—there is only so much that can fit into a given space. The following should be considered in these situations:

Logo Size – longer logos will conflict with navigation items as you size your site down. If you are noticing a conflict, you may need to implement some CSS to size down your logo as viewports get smaller.
Shorter Names – you should always shoot to have your top-level navigation links be as simple as possible. For example, if your link is “Learn About My Company,” Try using “About” instead. It conveys the same idea and will save you a ton of real estate.
Rearrange – sometimes we want to put all of our links in the top-level navigation, but not all pages are created equally. Pages of lesser importance that pertain to a parent link might work well as a sub-menu instead.
Less Links – even on more “complex” websites with lots of pages, there are always ways to combine information together to make things simpler, which also ensures that your user doesn’t have to click around for every granular piece of information. For example, you might have two top-level links called “About” and “Contact,” which could possibly be combined into one. This eliminates the need for extra links and makes things much simpler for your users to navigate. Less is more in information architecture.
Appearance – fortunately X features plenty of options for adjusting the appearance of elements throughout your site, and the navbar is one of the more flexible elements. Try using a smaller font size if possible to save on a little real estate.

Thanks!
