ANNOUNCEMENT BAR
Say what's happening — right at the top.
One line across the top of your site: a season now booking, two open weekends, a cancellation to fill. It's the first thing a visitor reads, and you change it in a tap.
The announcement bar is a short strip above your header. When you set it, it shows; when you clear it, it's gone. You can point it at a link too.
It's the fastest lever you have — no page to edit, no post to write, just one timely line.
Fill a cancellation
A trip opened up this weekend? Say so at the top and let the next visitor grab it.
Open a season
'Now booking 2026 spring turkey' tells a ready hunter exactly what to do.
Create honest urgency
'Two open dates left in October' is real scarcity — the kind that books trips.
Point somewhere
Link the bar to a specific trip, a report, or straight to your booking page.

Why it matters
A guide's best information is perishable — an opening, a bite, a season. The announcement bar is where the timely thing goes so it doesn't get buried in a page nobody scrolls to.
It's the difference between hoping someone notices and telling them at the door.
Straight answers.
Does it always show?
Only when you've set a message. Leave it blank and there's no bar.
Can I link it?
Yes — add a URL and the announcement becomes clickable.
How fast does it update?
Instantly — save and it's live on your site.
