What is a Mega Menu?
A Mega Menu is a type of fly-out menu used in website navigation. This format of menus offers a more extensive and visually rich menu structure.
It typically appears as a huge, multi-column dropdown menu that displays a variety of options in addition to the standard navigation bar.
You can use this to create expansive, multi column menus that display vast information, categories, and links in a structured and organized manner.
Mega Menus’ broad structure not only simplifies navigation, but also decreases the need for needless clicking and scrolling. With this quick overview feature of site components visitors can easily identify desired pages or products, improving efficiency and satisfaction.
