Can I change the global header?

pinchvalve — Fri, 03 Oct 2025 13:35:52 GMT

We are currently using a header that has been customized quite a bit. That means paying a developer to make changes, which is fine becaue it always works, but the boss would like something more affordable. I would like to swap this header for a template or module that is off-the-shelf so that I can customize it using drag-and-drop. I find the global header confusing, it is part of a theme? is it a module? Where does it live? How do I swap it for something different? I have searched and searched and cannot find a clear answer.

Thanks for the assist, it seems no one is too familiar with the header. I spoke to HubSpot support and they too had no idea how to make the change. Its not too surprising, sticking with templates makes it easy to manage pages, but once you go to custom CSS you are stuck with it. The good news is that there are great people out there who know CSS and can get you where you want to be.

You should be able to see the header in the Contents tab when editing a page. It being global might sound intimidating, but it’s actually a good thing; that means it’s shared across all pages, so you don’t have to update each one individually. It’s just edited in a different place than the rest of the page content.

The only drawback is that it’s not quite as simple as drag-and-drop. I’d honestly recommend learning how to edit it (you usually don’t need any coding or CSS knowledge unless it was built in a weird way), or just ask your developer to walk you through how it works.
