Frequently Asked Questions - Websites

Your website should be more than a place where your company exists online. These FAQs cover website planning, structure, performance, HubSpot, modules, content, and the decisions that help a site support the business behind it.

What should I do if my navigation does not fit in the header row?

If navigation does not fit in the header row, SW Header Simple has layout options that can help. One option is to move the menu below the header so it has a full-width row.

Another option is to enable the mobile menu at larger breakpoints so the hamburger appears sooner. Use the AI documentation for the exact field names in the version of the module being edited.

Was header resize or mobile menu jumpiness fixed in recent Smithworks themes?

The documentation notes that on themes updated around 2026.04.29, SW Header Simple improved resize and mobile menu behavior by batching spacing updates when the sticky header and drawer height are measured.

After a developer updates the theme, publish the relevant theme or global content and review the header on desktop and mobile.

What changed in the Smithworks blog partials and templates?

The changelog notes several blog partial and template updates. The main blog index can have a page-level H1 for SEO, /blog/all can use a self-referencing canonical when configured, and post hero banner images load with higher priority on updated themes.

Author archive pages also received a layout with author bio content at the top and a searchable, sortable post list. Listing hero is not shown on author archives, and post bylines still link to the author archive URL.

What theme-level updates can affect many SW modules at once?

Some SW changes are theme-level updates rather than individual module field changes. The changelog notes updates such as a clearer main landmark for accessibility tools, module stylesheet loading so pages can paint sooner, removal of extra side padding from the main drag-and-drop content shell, Roboto loading from the page head, and trimmed connection hints when live chat is off.

These updates can affect many pages or modules at once. In most cases, editors do not need to re-enter content; they should publish when the developer says the upgrade is live and then spot-check important pages.
