Headers are located at the top of a site and contain the custom header and site logo. Header colors and options change based on the user viewing it. The custom header section pulls in the content of a custom header template located at /Template:Custom/Views/Header.

A custom footer section (optional) pulls in content created in the custom footer template located at /Template:Custom/Views/FooterThe default Expert footer comes with the following out of the box:

If uploading an SVG, be sure to use a CSS rule set to limit the maximum width since SVGs do not have a default height and width. The following CSS limits the size of the site logo responsively by using ems which measure character width and not pixels.
