 * How can I change the height of the white header on top? There is a lot of padding
   above and below the menu text.
 * Also on individual pages the title seems to be scrunched up to the top of the
   banner area. How can I add some padding?
 * Is there also a way to change the banner height on the pages? I want them a little
   taller.
 * Thanks!!

 * Hi there,
 * In order to change the white header please open Appearance → Customize → Additional
   CSS and add the following css:
 *     ```
       .navbar-custom .navbar-nav > li > a {
           padding: 15px 12px;
       }
   
       .navbar-custom {
           min-height: 70px;
       }
   
       .navbar-custom .navbar-brand {
           padding-top: 18px;
           padding-bottom: 0;
       }
       ```
   
 * _Also on individual pages the title seems to be scrunched up to the top of the
   banner area. How can I add some padding?_
    Could you send me some screenshot 
   or URL to the page where do you want to add some padding?
 * To make a banner a little smaller you can try this:
 *     ```
       .jumbotron {
         padding: 50px 0 30px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Hope that helps. Feel free to reach out if you need anything.

 * Thanks – I was also wondering how to reduce the header padding, and this worked
   perfectly.
