New Feature: Get More Clicky with the Sticky Option

We’ve got a new Hello Bar feature to tell you about that we’ve affectionately named the sticky option. When we launched Hello Bar we only had 2 options for positioning the bar: “Pushes the page down” & “Covers page content”. Later we expanded this to include the “Stays at the top of the page” option or fixed positioning. After a few requests for an option that plays nicely with sites that have a navigation area close to the top edge of the page, the sticky feature was born.

The “Sticky” feature’s main purpose is to get you more clicks. It allows your bar to follow the user as they scroll down the page and it also pushes your page down so it doesn’t cover any of your content: a perfect mix!

Enable the feature by editing the settings of your Hello Bar:

Step 1

Expand the settings area in the Hello Bar editor:

Step 2

Choose the “Stays at top of page & pushes page down” option:

The sticky feature is essentially a combination of ”Stays at the top of the page” setting (so it stays with you when you scroll down) and the ”Pushes the page down” setting (so it doesn’t cover the navigation); this way the Hello Bar only covers your site when your user scrolls down.

As always, we’d love to know what you think of the new option. Let us know by leaving a comment below, we’d love to hear from you.
