The header is the sticky navigation bar across the top of every page; the intro reveal is the optional animation that plays once when a guest first lands. Both, along with your logos and brand colors, live on the Brand tab.
Where: Property editor → left rail → Home → right panel → Brand tab. On collection sites the same controls are under Home → Brand (plus a Layout section for how properties are arranged).
The header preset controls where the logo and tabs sit and whether the bar is transparent over the hero. Two further controls decide what the bar looks like while it's over the hero (expanded) and after guests scroll (collapsed).

| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Classic (preset) | Solid white bar, logo left, tabs centered. |
| Split tabs (preset) | Transparent bar with the logo centered and tabs split to either side. |
| Minimal rail (preset) | Thin transparent bar, logo left, links pinned right. |
| Editorial (preset) | Tall solid bar that collapses on scroll, logo left, tabs centered. Pairs with collage heroes. |
| Transparent (surface) | Header background — Stays fully see-through as guests scroll — text floats on top. |
| Frosted (surface) | Header background — A translucent, blurred bar that hints at the content behind it. |
| Solid (surface) | Header background — A clean, opaque bar (the classic Haven look). |
| Gradient (surface) | Header background — A dark gradient that starts solid at the top and fades into the hero — keeps white text legible with no hard bar edge. |
| Small (logo-size) | Expanded header size — Compact mark with a slim header bar. |
| Medium (logo-size) | Expanded header size — Balanced hero mark (the default). |
| Large (logo-size) | Expanded header size — Bold mark with a taller header bar. |
| Extra large (logo-size) | Expanded header size — Statement mark with a tall, dramatic header. |
| You want… | Change |
|---|---|
| The bar not to hide the top of the hero photo | A transparent preset (Minimal rail, Split tabs, or Editorial) with Header (expanded) → Background → Transparent. |
| White tab text to stay readable after scrolling | Collapsed header → Background → Gradient or Frosted instead of Transparent. |
| A bigger logo | Expanded header size → Large / Extra large (the bar grows to fit the mark, then collapses on scroll). |
| Tabs centered vs. pinned right | Classic or Split tabs (centered) vs. Minimal rail (right). |
| A phone number or short note pinned in the header | Header info item — digits render as a tap-to-call link. |
| A thin line under the transparent bar | Hairline divider on. |
| Fewer tabs in the header (collections) | Show tabs in header off — guests use the menu instead. |

Silhouette mode recolors a logo to pure white or ink so it reads on any photo — use it when a colored logo disappears over the hero. The expanded/hero logo is the larger mark shown over the hero on animating presets; it cross-fades into the small header logo as guests scroll.
Where (property site): Property editor → left rail → Home → right panel → Brand tab → Intro reveal (expand) Where (collection site): Collection editor → left rail → Home → right panel → Brand tab → Intro reveal (expand)
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| None | No opening animation — the page loads straight to the hero. |
| Curtain | A branded panel parts down the middle to reveal your hero. |
| Logo reveal | Your logo holds on a branded field, then fades to the hero. |
| Letterbox | Cinematic bars retract from the top and bottom. |
| Lens | A circular aperture opens from the center to reveal your hero. |
| Focus in | The hero sharpens into focus from a soft frosted blur. |
| Default (panel) | Intro panel color: black. |
| Primary (panel) | Intro panel color: your primary brand color. |
| Secondary (panel) | Intro panel color: your secondary brand color. |
The intro plays once per session on the public site and never inside the editor preview. Choose None if you want the page to load straight to the photo; Focus in (the default for new sites) is the lightest, since it sharpens an already-visible hero rather than covering it.
