Create a Mega Menu
A mega menu is a large panel that opens when a visitor hovers over a menu item. It can hold images, text and several columns of links, making it ideal for sites with many pages.
Add a mega menu
- Open the page in the builder and add a Navigation Menu element from the left sidebar.
- Use the style editor on the right to set layout and styling.
- Click Add Item, then choose Mega Menu.
- Open the mega menu editor. A dimmed overlay keeps you focused on the panel.
- Add elements such as images, text and links, and drag them into the order you want.
- Adjust background colors, fonts and spacing to match your brand.
- Use the live preview to see how it will look on your live site.
- Save and publish.
Design ideas
- Group services into columns with a short heading over each.
- Add a featured image or offer in one corner.
- Include a button for your main call to action.
Standard dropdown or mega menu?
A normal dropdown is perfect for a handful of links. Choose a mega menu when you need descriptions, images or many categories at once.
Tips
Check the hover behavior on a tablet and the collapsed layout on mobile before publishing. Prebuilt mega menu headers can give you a starting layout.
Good to know: Keep the panel focused on three to five groups; a menu that scrolls is rarely a fast way to navigate.
