The Navigation Bar is the map of your website. And like any good map, it needs to be organised and clear. A simple way to keep it tidy is by using dropdown menus. These elements inside the Navigation Bar let you group items into smaller categories for a more compact look.
If that sounds useful, here's how to set it up. Start by dragging and dropping the Navigation Menu element into your funnel or website. Keep in mind that we've already added the section, row, and columns in this example.
Once you've added the menu, click on it to open the general settings. Look for the +Add Item option.
Enter the name of your new item, in this case "Company," then press "Submit" to save.
To add the item under an existing category, such as "About," drag and drop the "Company" item under the "About" category. This groups "Company" with any other items listed under "About," creating a dropdown effect.
After positioning the "Company" item under the desired category, save your changes. Look for a save button or icon and click it to update the navigation menu.
To check your changes have been applied correctly, preview the navigation menu. The "Company" item should now appear as part of a dropdown under the "About" category.
Practical Example
Say you've recently expanded your team and want to add a "Team" section to your website, accessible through the navigation menu. Following the steps above, you can easily add "Team" as a dropdown item under the "About" category, making it straightforward for visitors to find information about your team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add multiple items to a dropdown?
Yes, you can add as many items as you need to a dropdown by repeating the process for each new item.
How do I rename an item in the dropdown?
To rename an item, find it in the navigation menu customisation area, click on it, and you should see an option to edit or rename it.
Troubleshooting Tips
- Item Not Appearing: If the new item does not appear in the dropdown as expected, make sure you've saved your changes and refreshed the preview. Double-check that you've correctly dragged the item under the desired category.
- Incorrect Placement: If the item appears in the wrong place, you can drag it to the correct position and save the changes again.
