Aurora’s sticky header keeps your header fixed at the top of the viewport as visitors scroll down the page. It is available on all 6 horizontal header layouts and enabled with a single toggle.

How It Behaves

When sticky is enabled, the header remains at the top of the screen as the visitor scrolls. The page content scrolls underneath it. The header retains the same height and appearance throughout. It does not shrink, fade, or change style as the page scrolls.


Vertical Headers Are Always Fixed

The two vertical layouts, Upright and Thin, are side panels permanently fixed to the left edge of the screen. They do not use the sticky toggle because they are inherently fixed by design.
