Navbar With Promo Banner

About this block

Navbar With Promo Banner welds an announcement strip to the navigation as a single header unit, the strip in the primary fill with one message, one link, and a dismiss control, the navbar beneath in the standard layout. Designing them together is the point, a banner added to a finished navbar always reads as an afterthought.

Links are one array. The dismiss button is presentational, wire it to state or a cookie when installing, and drop the strip entirely when nothing is worth announcing.

When to use

Reach for this block during launches, pricing changes, and events, anywhere the announcement deserves site wide placement for a bounded time. The banner earns its pixels with one message, rotating messages teach visitors to ignore the strip.

A natural flow around it on a Marketing Pro page:

Before

• Nothing, headers open the page

After

• Hero, ideally about the same announcement for launch weeks

What you can display

One strong use is a launch date with the pricing consequence attached. Other strips:

• Maintenance notice. A scheduled window with the status page link.
• Event strip. The webinar with its date and a register link.
• Milestone strip. The funding or award announcement, briefly.

Tip: put a real deadline in the strip, founding pricing ends with the launch outperforms learn more by every measure that matters.
