Please drop fixed headers from web pages. If you want easy access to the top of the page use anchor links instead. On a laptop headers often take a big chunk of available screen. It just pisses me off every time I see a page with a fixed header. All your reader aren't using imacs...
- chatmasta 10y agoThis is a marketing website. I'm sure they A/B tested the fixed header and it probably converts better than otherwise.
- camus2 10y agoThis isn't a marketing website this is the documentation website for google cloud. I'm logged in right now on google cloud and it's still displaying that header.
- chatmasta 10y agoYeah? Who's paying google the big bills? The people who are looking to "CONTACT SALES," which is conveniently a link in the fixed header.
