The Header can be changed on all Real Geeks website designs, including Anna and Anna Modern.
Choose a short title that connects the search to the page’s topic. For example, a page about Milwaukee could use:
-
Search Homes in Milwaukee
-
Explore Milwaukee Real Estate

A clear title helps visitors understand what they can search for and encourages them to explore available homes.
