Header & Footer Blocks
The Header and Footer are global blocks that appear on every page. Changes to them are published immediately across all pages.
Understanding global blocks
When you open the Header or Footer settings, you'll see a banner: "Global Component -- Changes to the header/footer are published immediately and will appear on all pages of your site." Unlike regular blocks that follow the draft/live workflow, Header and Footer changes go live the moment you click Save and Publish.
This ensures your identity and navigation stay consistent. Update your bio or add a social link, and it appears everywhere instantly.
Header block
The Header sits at the top of every page -- your digital handshake that tells visitors who you are and how to connect with you.

Layout styles
The Layout setting controls how your header is arranged:
- Centered -- Profile picture, name, and bio stacked in the center.
- Card -- Identity info inside a card container.
- Banner -- Wide banner layout with a full-width background.
Identity section
- Profile Picture -- Upload an avatar or photo, displayed in a square aspect ratio. Choose a clear, recognizable image -- your face, logo, or brand mark.
- Display Name -- The name shown below your profile picture. Can be your real name, brand name, or any recognizable identifier.
- Location -- Optional text field (e.g., "San Francisco, CA" or "London, UK") that adds a personal touch.
- Bio -- A short description (up to 150 characters) below your name. Summarize what you do in one or two concise sentences -- your elevator pitch.

Social media links
The Social Links section lets you add icons linking to your profiles on other platforms. Leenkies supports over 20 platforms:
| Platform | Platform | Platform |
|---|---|---|
| Telephone | ||
| X (Twitter) | TikTok | |
| YouTube | Snapchat | |
| Telegram | Discord | |
| Threads | ||
| Line | Viber | |
| VK | Tumblr | Medium |
| Twitch |
For each link, select the platform from a dropdown and enter the URL or username. Social links appear as recognizable icons in your header.
Add links with the "Add Social Icon" button. Reorder them by dragging the grip handle. Remove any link with its delete button.

Pro Tip: Put your most important platforms first. Visitors' attention fades left to right, so lead with the platforms where you're most active or want to drive the most traffic.
Footer block
The Footer sits at the bottom of every page, providing copyright information and optional links.

Copyright section
A single text field for your copyright notice, displayed at the bottom of every page (e.g., "2026 Your Name" or "2026 Your Brand. All rights reserved.").
Additional links
Add custom links to your footer. Each link has:
- Label -- The visible text (e.g., "Privacy Policy" or "Terms of Service").
- URL -- The destination URL.
Click "Add Footer Link" to add more. Each link can be removed individually on hover. Footer links are useful for legal pages, external resources, or anything you want accessible from every page.
Saving and publishing
Because the Footer is a global block, clicking "Save and Publish" immediately updates it across all pages. There's no separate draft step -- make sure your content is correct before saving.
Pro Tip: Keep footer links minimal. One to three links (Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, contact email) are usually enough. Too many links clutter the footer and draw attention away from your page content.
