Adjust the position of an unordered list element in CSS to move it lower on

I have a ul element in my navigation bar at the top of the webpage that I want to adjust slightly downwards. Take a look at the current navigation bar:

image

To align the text with the white bar at the top of the page, I need to move it down just a bit.

Below is a section of the HTML code:

<!-- Nav -->
<nav id="nav">
    <ul>
        <li><a href="index.html">HOME</a></li>
        <li><a href="#who">WHO WE ARE</a></li>
        <li><a href="#what">WHAT WE DO</a></li>
        <li><a href="#contact">GET IN TOUCH</a></li>
    </ul>
</nav>

How can I achieve this using CSS?

EDIT:

Here is the full HTML code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Serenity</title>
        <meta charset="utf-8" />
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
        // More code here...
         </style>
    </head>

<body class="homepage">
    <div id="page-wrapper">
        <!-- Header -->
        <div id="header">
            <!-- Inner -->
            <div class="inner" id="app">

            </div>

            <!-- Nav -->
            <nav id="nav">
                <ul>
                    <li><a href="index.html">HOME</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#who">WHO WE ARE</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#what">WHAT WE DO</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#contact">GET IN TOUCH</a></li>
                </ul>
            </nav>
        </div>
        // More code here...

Answer №1

margin-top appears to be the property you need for your layout.

Your code now includes margin-top within an internal <style> element. Please note that due to the absence of the original CSS file, I can't visually display the impact based on the image provided. The positioning adjustments have been made above the highlighted <ul>.

If you intend to apply the margin-top solely to the primary navigation <ul>, it's recommended to specify it uniquely (e.g., through a class) to prevent affecting all other instances of <ul> in the document.
