Sign Up page content is hidden behind the fixed header on page load #409

Description

@bhavishyaverma450

📋 Description

The Sign Up page is partially obscured by the fixed navigation header. When navigating to the /sign-up page, the top portion of the sign-up form is hidden beneath the header, making the page appear misaligned and reducing the visibility of the form.

This issue appears to be caused by the page content not accounting for the height of the fixed/sticky navigation bar.


🔄 Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open The Dev Pocket website.
  2. Click on Login and navigate to the Sign Up page (or visit /sign-up directly).
  3. Observe the page immediately after it loads.
  4. Notice that the top portion of the sign-up form is covered by the fixed navigation header.

✅ Expected Behavior

The sign-up form should be positioned completely below the fixed navigation header with sufficient top spacing, ensuring that the entire form is visible when the page loads.


🚫 Actual Behavior

The fixed navigation header overlaps the top section of the sign-up page, causing the beginning of the form to be hidden until the user scrolls down.

📝 Additional Context

  • Frequency: Always
  • Affected Page: Sign Up (/sign-up)
  • Possible Cause: The page container does not include sufficient top padding/margin to compensate for the fixed/sticky navigation bar.
  • Suggested Fix: Add appropriate top padding or margin equal to the height of the fixed header, or adjust the layout so the authentication form is rendered below the navigation bar.
