How to make fixed top menu in Semantic-UI not cover content

Question

I have a problem with my fixed-top menu in semantic-ui. It's covering a header element, which says "This is Stoga Hub". I don't think javascript or jQuery will do anything to help. I've tried messing around with margin-top/bottom for the menu and header elements and it worked, but I know my code will become really messy if I have to adjust the margin-top/bottom on every single webpage. I apologize if this has a really simple answer, I'm still very new to website building. Thank you all for your help.

var main = function() {
  $('.ui.dropdown').dropdown({
    on: 'hover'
  });
  $('.item').click(function() {
    $('.item').removeClass('active');
    $(this).toggleClass('active');
  });
  $('.ui.checkbox')
    .checkbox();
};
$(document).ready(main);

.main {
  height: 600px;
  background: linear-gradient(to right, #16a085, #2c3e50);
  position: absolute;
  /*margin-top: 78px;*/
}

.ui.header {
  font-size: 65px;
}

body {
  background-color: #ecf0f1;
  color: white;
}

.segment {
  background-position: 50% 50%;
  margin: auto;
}

.menu {
  padding-top: 8px;
  padding-bottom: 8px;
  color: maroon;
  position: relative;
  /*margin-bottom: 62px;*/
}

Answer 1

I think that the easiest way might be padding-top:

.main.container {
    padding-top: 100px;
}
