Hello guys. I have done some wordpress websites using elementor, phlox and royal add ons. For the first time i am doing it now without these page builders just using astra and spectra. I have come across one challenge and that is making the header. Its really limited to do it on astra customization header builder as they have it completely limited. I understand that i can do it on the page editor making the header then grouping it and saving it as a pattern. i try use as much "Individual HTML" as possible but it looks really ugly on the page builder + it takes a lot of time.
Is my approach right? are there any tips how to make it faster, save time or cleaner?
Any help is much appreciated. Thank you!
NOTE: The project is small with max. 7 pages

Do you have an initial wire frame and design?
Try using Astra custom layouts and code reusable components directly in the theme PHP files
