How to style a header with CSS?
The padding property plays a major role while styling headings. Also, use the text-align property to center the text on a header. Remember to place the header in a separate div container. Let us see how to style a header with HTML and CSS.
Set the header div
Create a div for the header so that we can style it later with CSS −
<div class="header"> <h1>My website ⇅</h1> </div>
Style the header div
The header is styled like this −
.header {
padding: 30px;
text-align: center;
background: #bc1a6b;
color: white;
font-size: 30px;
}
Set the padding area
The padding area is set on all the four sides of an element at once using the padding property −
padding: 30px;
Align the header text
The header text is aligned to the center using the text-align property with the value center −
text-align: center;
Example
To style a header using CSS, the code is as follows −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
<style>
body {
font-family: "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif;
margin: 0;
}
.header {
padding: 30px;
text-align: center;
background: #bc1a6b;
color: white;
font-size: 30px;
}
main {
padding: 20px;
font-size: 18px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="header">
<h1>My website ⇅</h1>
</div>
<main>
<h1>Some heading</h1>
<p>Some sample content.Some sample content.</p>
<p>Some sample content.Some sample content.</p>
