Creating and Managing Submenus
Whether adding a newly created page or rearranging menus, you can add as many menus, at any time like. There are several types of menus you can add to suit your needs.
Adding a Menu
To add a menu, select the + icon in the secondary toolbar in the top left-hand side of the page and select Menu & Search. You will then be presented with the following four types of menus:
- Horizontal: Traditional horizontal site menu that usually appear in the header or footer of a website.
- Vertical: Vertically arranged menus that look great on the right or left sides of websites.
- Hamburger: Minimalist, space-saving menus where the menu items are only displayed when visitors click the menu icon. The menu has an open and closed state. Learn More
- Anchor: Floating vertical menu that displays anchor links. These are useful for navigating between the different sections on a page, such as on a one-page site, or on long pages.
Once you have chosen the desired menu type, drag this onto your site.
Please note: The provided template already consists of a menu; therefore, you should only add one of these if you are replacing the existing menu.
Adding Items to a Menu
You can update your menu at any given time by adding new items, add pages and links to important information, as well as submenus to keep your menu organized.
Select the relevant menu on your site and click Manage Menu from the floating toolbar to view its items. In order to add an item , select + Add New Item at the bottom of the menu.
You can choose from three types of menu items:
Site Page
To add a site page, select Site Pages, then select the checkbox next to the page(s) you want to add and click Apply.
Link
To add a link, select Link then select the radio button next to the relevant type of link on the left. Choose which page or web address the link leads to, then decide how the link should open by selecting the relevant radio button. Once you are satisfied with this, choose Done.
Submenu
To add a submenu, select Submenu Title, the submenu will then appear in the menu list. Give your submenu a name and press Enter on your keyboard.
To move pages to your new submenu, drag the relevant page under the submenu title, then hover over the page and click the 3-dot menu, then select Move to Submenu.
Please note: The submenu title is not clickable – visitors hover over it to see the submenu. If needed, you can set a page or link as the submenu title so it's also clickable. For more information about this click here.
Managing Menu Items
From the Manage Menu option in the floating toolbar, you can rename items on your menu, change their destination URL and remove items you no longer need. This is done by selecting the relevant corresponding 3-dot menu.
To reorder menu items, use the 4-dot icon on the left-hand side of the relevant menu to drag and drop the item to the desired location.
Creating and Managing Submenus
Submenus are a great way to make your menu look tidy and organised. You can make any menu item the title of your submenu or create a submenu with a non-clickable title. When visitors hover over, the dropdown menu is displayed.
