 * Hi, I’m using Elementor Header & Footer Builder for a simple header. Just wondering,
   for better control on mobile, is it better to create a separate mobile header
   template or adjust the same one with responsive settings?

 * Hi [@randy210](https://wordpress.org/support/users/randy210/),
 * Both approaches work well, and the right choice usually depends on how different
   you want your mobile header to look compared to desktop:
 * **Single header with responsive settings (works well for most setups)** If your
   mobile and desktop headers share the same structure (same logo, same menu items,
   just rearranged or resized), it’s usually simpler to build one header and use
   Elementor’s responsive controls- per-breakpoint visibility, alignment, padding,
   font size, and column direction. Easier to maintain, since edits only need to
   happen in one place.
 * **Separate mobile header template** This makes sense when the mobile layout is
   fundamentally different, for example, a hamburger drawer with a completely different
   navigation structure, or a simplified mobile-only top bar. You get full creative
   flexibility, but you’ll have two templates to keep aligned as your site evolves.
 * A practical middle ground a lot of users go with: build one header, then use 
   Elementor’s “Responsive > Hide on Desktop / Tablet / Mobile” controls to hide
   certain elements per breakpoint and show simplified mobile-only elements in the
   same template. That keeps everything consolidated without compromising the mobile
   experience.
