Navigation Header and Footer

 

The header and footer are essential components of any online store, as they provide a consistent navigation experience for customers across all pages. The header includes the store's navigation links and search bar, while the footer typically includes links to other relevant pages. It is important to ensure that these sections are well-designed and informative, as they can play a significant role in ensuring your customers can easily find what they are looking for.
