Menu and navigation

On websites where you manage the menu yourself, you choose which pages appear in it.

• Main navigation: the pages that are immediately visible at the top of the website.
• Secondary navigation: pages that aren’t immediately visible. They’re in the hidden menu, which opens through the menu icon.

On other websites, the menu automatically follows the status and order of your pages: published pages (green) appear in the menu, in the order they’re in in the CMS.

Multilingual website?

In each language, the menu shows the translated titles of your pages. Does a title in the menu still appear in the default language? Then that page’s title hasn’t been translated into that language yet.

Tips for a good menu

• Keep it short. Five to seven items in the main navigation is enough. The rest can go in the secondary navigation or become subpages.
• Use familiar words. “Services” and “Contact” are clearer than creative names.
• Put the most important first. Visitors read from left to right.
