Concealed text hidden beneath a Sticky Navigation Bar (HTML/CSS)

I'm in the process of creating a simple website that includes a sticky Navigation Bar. However, I'm encountering an issue where text added to the website is being hidden behind the Navbar. Is there a way for me to adjust the positioning of the text to start below a specific pixel value, or some other method to address this?

While I could resort to adding multiple paragraphs until the layout works, I'd prefer to find a more permanent solution to this recurring problem.

ul {
  list-style-type: none;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  overflow: hidden;
  background-color: #333;
  position: fixed;
  top: 0;
  width: 100%;
}

li {
  float: left;
}

li a {
  display: block;
  color: white;
  text-align: center;
  padding: 16px 16px;
  text-decoration: none;
}

li a:hover {
  background-color: #111;
  color: #2EFE2E;
}

.navbar {}
<div class="navbar">
  <ul>
    <li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="enemies.html">Enemies</a></li>
    <li><a href="">Video</a></li>
  </ul>
</div>

Answer №1

To implement this design, simply include the following CSS code.

 .content{
    margin-top: 40px;
}

Answer №2

Perhaps we could add some padding. That's my suggestion.

ul {
  list-style-type: none;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  overflow: hidden;
  background-color: #333;
  position: fixed;
  top: 0;
  width: 100%;
  z-index: 9;
}

li {
  float: left;
}

li a {
  display: block;
  color: white;
  text-align: center;
  padding: 16px 16px;
  text-decoration: none;
}

li a:hover {
  background-color: #111;
  color: #2EFE2E;
}

.content {
  width: 100%;
  position: relative;
  float: left;
  padding-top: 40px;
}
<div class="navbar">
  <ul>
    <li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="enemies.html">Enemies</a></li>
    <li><a href="">Video</a></li>
  </ul>
</div>
<div class="content">

To create space at the top, you need to add
<!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <style>
    ul {
        list-style-type: none;
        margin: 0;
        padding: 0;
        overflow: hidden;
        background-color: #333;
        position: fixed;
        top: 0;
        width: 100%;
    }

    li {
        float: left;
    }

    li a {
        display: block;
        color: white;
        text-align: center;
        padding: 16px 16px;
        text-decoration: none;
    }

    li a:hover {
        background-color: #111;

    }

    .navbar {
