# Notification Bar

A website Notification Bar is a small header banner that sits on the top of your website. It provides relevant information to your customers without getting in the way of your website content.

The notification bar app allows you to display important messages for your customers at the top of your online store. This could be because you are advertising a special offer or displaying a discount code, or alternatively, you want to let your customers know that there is a delay on orders because you are simply too busy. The possibilities are endless!
