STAX Header Builder

Description

Stax is a front-end drag & drop visual header builder plugin for WordPress enabling the creation of page headers in a live, visual way. This lets you focus on the look and design of your page headers, instead of tripping over the behind-the-scenes mechanics of building headers.
Check out Stax Builder demos.

Works with any theme

Yes that is right, it doesn’t matter the theme you are using. Even more cool is that you can change the theme and you can keep your built header.

Mobile/Tablet/Desktop different content & settings

You won’t see this in any other builder. Just an example is to have your logo in one place on desktop and centered on mobile. You can change the content just on a specific resolution if you like or just the settings of an element. How cool is that?

Live design – like it should be

See live how your header looks, right at the moment of edit. Easily switch from desktop, tablet or mobile view

Unlimited headers

For real, you can have as many headers on your site. Change background, border, typography, make’em sticky, boxed, full-width, custom height, custom width.

Deleted items history

Removed an elements you now want back? Say no more, Deleted Items to the rescue

This plugin has a nice UI. It is so feature rich to build any header. But one issue I experience is that live editing is so Slow as compared to Elementor. e.g when I change the Padding values, the effect on element being edited, is somewhat lagging. effects loads after a few milliseconds.

Last update 8 months shows how this wp plugin universe is always behind... do not use more plugins than neccessary - this one is buggy and makes a lot of trouble....

As impressed as I am with the vision of this plugin, it is glitchy. I find myself wasting a lot of time trying to get the results I want, and support is slow if existent at all.

I agree with the other reviewer that documentation lacks but once you get it working this a very nice plugin to have! I do wish the PRO version wasnt priced so high so I could use on all my client sites. Add some more features to the free version and this plugin will be used on every site! Keep up the great work!

I just recently installed the Stax Header plugin to try to customize my header. There were absoutely no directions anywhere and no tutorials found on youtube. Normally, I can figure these things out - but not with this plugin. I tried creating a "zone" and tried mousing over the header to tell the plugin where it is at - but nothing. I do not think that the plugin developer could have made it any more difficult to use. Nothing worked - a complete waste of my valuable time!
