Like a dropdown menu, a mega menu appears when a user rolls over a primary navigation item. But instead of a simple list of child pages, visitors can see a map of all the child and grandchild pages in that section. Mega menus also often include additional design elements like icons or a call to action feature, as shown below. These types of menus are best for organizations with lots of detailed content to share about their programs and services.
No matter how beautifully designed your website is, if it is difficult to access the content, your site is only as helpful as a hollow shell.
