Site template - Header

The header area is displayed at the top of every page. It contains site-wide components like the logo, top utility menu, breadcrumb navigation and search.

Site logo

The Gateshead Council logo is displayed in the top left of the header. It also acts as a link to the homepage.

Top utility menu

The top utility menu is used to display the My Gateshead account links. When a user is signed out the link displays as "Sign in". When a user is signed in the link displays as "My account".

Breadcrumb

The breadcrumb helps users to understand where they are within a website's structure and move between levels.

Site search

The site search allows the user to search the Gateshead Council website.

When performing a search, up to four content suggestions are shown once three characters have been typed into the search box. This list of suggestions is updated as further characters are entered. Selecting a suggestion will take the user directly to that content.

A search will be performed using the content of the box if a user presses the enter key or clicks on the search icon.

When a user performs a search, the results are displayed on an article using the search template.
