Ever wonder how to make your website header feel more alive and integrated with your content? One of the most modern and engaging visual trends is a header that features a subtle, blurry background effect as content scrolls behind it. This creates a sophisticated, almost “frosted glass” look that really elevates the user experience.
We’ve been experimenting with this effect, and we’re thrilled to share how you can implement it on your own Divi website. It’s a fantastic way to add a touch of elegance and depth, making your header a dynamic part of your page’s visual flow.
What We’re Aiming For: A Modern, Blurry Header Effect
Imagine your header starting off clean, perhaps transparent. Then, as your visitors scroll down the page and your beautiful content begins to slide underneath the header, the header’s background subtly blurs, creating a striking visual separation without entirely obscuring the content. It’s a fantastic way to keep your navigation accessible and visually distinct, while adding a touch of contemporary design.
This effect uses a bit of clever CSS to achieve that sleek, native app-like feel right in your Divi site. We’ve got the perfect solution for you!
