Changing The Search Design

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi guys,

We are currently struggling to make the website look “more professional” on the top-header. At the moment we have a huge gap that bothers us (too much white), between the menu and the search function. Is there any way that we can change the design to look more like http://techcrunch.com/ for example? (visible search field) or remove the search function from there and add some social media buttons? Please see attached a few screenshots.

Thanks again for your huge support.

Hi,

You will need custom work for this but you can also use a plugin for it and add it to the menu using shortcodes, you could replace the actual search with your own here: http://screencast.com/t/78SAKU4J3
You can do the same for the social icons and use a plugin.
you could also use the WordPress search widget and tagdiv social icons, use page builder to customize them and add it with the do_shortcode() function, should look something like this: http://screencast.com/t/vb0u2EBFRHg
This is the code I use for the example: http://pastebin.com/JTjXCD68
This is a start, if you don’t have basic php/html/css knowledge we recommend you to get a freelancer from sites like: http://studio.envato.com/ to do it for as we cannot offer custom work as we work hard on the development, updates, fixes and support.
Hope this helps!

Thanks
