One of my biggest challenges is finding professional free website headers for my websites and blogs.
I’ve paid designers to create website headers for me, but at $40-$100 per header, that’s not my favorite option.
One option that I absolutely love are the free website headers at Xheaderpro that I can easily add to any website or blog.
Paul Smithson, the creator of Xsitepro site building software, created these amazing free website headers. With these 500 free headers you’ll also get a graphics tool that allows you to add text to the headers in the foreground or background, change colors and text fonts.
You could even load a blank header and completely create your own designs or load one from a template library and customize them to the size you need. Super easy to use, even for me who has no creative talent whatsoever.
I’ve been using these headers for over a year now and love them. Here’s one of the headers I use on my beauty skin care site.
If 500 Website Headers isn’t Enough, Get 5000 More
Since the 500 free website headers were such a hit, Paul also created a professional XheaderPro package that now has 5000 headers across 46 categories that include things like:
- action/adventure
- seasons
- shopping
- photography
- news & information
- sports
- fashion
- fantasy & magic
- healthy eating
…and tons more
The XheaderPro package sells for $37 but with the cost of graphics designers it’s a small price to pay to have all these website headers at your fingertips to quickly drop into any blog or website and no matter what your topic, you’ll find a site header graphic that fits your needs. There are many generic type header graphics too that could be used for any niche topic.
The XHeaderPro professional headers package actually works out to be less than 1 penny per header graphic. Just buying one professionally created header graphic cost me more than the whole XheaderPro package combined.
Try the 500 free website headers first. There are a limited number of header topics to choose from but you’ll be able to see just how easy the software is to use for creating and customizing the headers.
If you need more design choices the professional package certainly won’t break the bank and you’ll have tons of additional header graphics that you can work with no matter how many sites you have or create in the future.

Hi Ms Liz:
Can these headers be used with SBI? I use the block by block. these headers look great.
To think I’ve been doing this myself – thanks for the tip.
Who wouldn’t want to have a package of 5000 header graphics at a very affordable price, cool isn’t it! I won’t let this pass by, I’m thinking of getting one for myself. Thanks for the sharing!
Ms. Liz, Thanks for the free header info. Good Stuff!
Yes, Xheaders are compatible with XsitePro
The header is saved as a jpg, and the images are resizeable so should be able to be resized to fit the L&F Selector size. Since the user also selects the file name (before the .jpg), they can set it to be uploadable to the L&F also.
My problem is the same with you. I usually use blogger for my business blogs, but we know that default blogger templates are very standard in design. When I try to change the header, it’s quite difficult for a person who is blind in design application like me. Thanks for this info and I’m gonna try it.
I never knew there are free website headers available. Great! Thanks.
Hey Liz, this is a great option. I fully understand where you’re coming from because I too hate paying big money for headers…I’m definitely going to give the free version a go and see how I find it
Hey, I think you’ll really like them. Paul Smithson puts out quality products. I’ve never been disappointed, and in particularly with his Xsitepro site creator, in fact these headers, even the free ones, are a nice complement to the product
I’ve been using X Headers for a few months now and can really say that they have helped me a lot to create professional looking websites. Thanks for sharing this additional information
Hey Joel, I love their headers too, in fact all the Xsitepro products are Class A.

Wow Ms. Liz – I love your site. I have been using Xheader for a while now and recommend it to all of my friends online. It is a really awesome tool and it’s free!
PS Thanks for all the great information you provide here..
Are these headers your own design? Can I use one of them?
These are completely free headers for you to use.
I’ve used a lot of different headers or my sites but this one is super simple, which sometimes I think is better. But you’re right, making a good first impression is important and with this particular blog I just wanted something that will help people feel comfortable and suggest a user friendly attitude

Great information. I will definitely come back to your site and gleam from your experience.
Thanks.
Hi Liz,
Great find! I’m trying to customize more of my sites these days, rather than have them look so generic, and this looks like a great resource.
Cheers,
Dana
Hey Dana …Yes, these are a great find. I’ve really used the heck out of them. Glad you like them
Thanks for the great advice on finding a header – do you know how I can learn html on my own? I’ve been working on it a lot lately but I need a new prospective…
Hi James, I like this site for learning html, good luck

Ms. Liz, just wanted to leave a message saying thanks for all the great advice and info that you have provided. So, Thank You and look forward to more great advice to come.
Hey Joe, you are very welcome and thanks for your feedback
I have been looking for a quality header for some time now. Xheader pro has so much to choose from! Thank you.
The first thing about headers, is,it speaks a lot about the blog and the blog owner. I like what you posted here regarding the 500 choices. With 500 at hand the choice is going to be very interesting. 5000 however is going to take us a very, very long time to experiment.
