    Hi Derek,

    The ability to add CSS is a Custom Design option that’s included as part of the WordPress.com Premium or Business plans.

    If you choose to upgrade to either of those plans, you could then reduce the height of Argent’s header area with the following custom CSS:

    @media screen and (min-width: 768px) {
    .home .site-branding {
        padding: 1.2em 0;
    }
}

.site-branding {
    padding: 1.2em 0;
}

    Increase/decrease the first numeric value of padding to increase/decrease the height of the header area. Please note that increments/decrements of 0.1 are enough to have an impact e.g. 1.3em, 1.4em, etc.

    The first snippet controls the padding surrounding the header area on your site’s home page while the second controls the header area on every other page of your site.

    If you don’t wish to upgrade to a plan, then you could consider a different theme. Illustratr, Espied, and Pictorico are a few nice examples of portfolio themes in which the header area doesn’t take up as much space as Argent’s.

    Let me know if that’s helpful or if you have any further questions.
