4 new types of modern navigation menus. Showcase intuitive mobile navigation.

There are many websites that use innovative approaches to the navigation. They keep exploring new directions towards the optimization of navigation design. Some of Magento 2 stores used to trust a Navigation Pro module because they know there constantly appears something new.  

Right, this time, please review new 1.6 release to see 4 new navigation menu designs.

Read more to understand new menus benefits.

Mobile navigation menu

When it comes to planning navigation for mobile devices you got a lot of thinking to do. Because there is a limited viewing space, you have to find the ways to free up the content area and at the same time make the navigation menu clear and informative.

Navigation Pro 1.6 release comes with two awesome navigation solutions for small screens.

Link Bar mobile menu

New mobile menu is good for everyone who decided to go beyond the hamburger menu. With alternative “LinkBar” menu you can show the top category links under a header. But the important thing is, you can add appealing visual elements within the Navigation Pro features like icons or category tips. This draws user attention to the important sections in your store.

Apple menu

In fact, Apple menu is a combination of two menus. It allows the display of top-level categories only or the subcategories of an active category with nice icons. By showing recognizable icons you will guide your visitors along the most important website pages. The Apple menu also allows customizing Apple menu styles that will make a menu more visually prominent.

So where the other 2 menu?

The Navigation Pro extension provides perfect navigation solutions both for desktop and mobile. It includes 12 different tools to create the navigation menu that fits the current trends in web design: simple drop-down menu, mega menu, Amazon menu (top and sidebar menu), stacked dropdowns, Easy Catalog Images menu, complex dropdown contents, category tips (Labels), sidebar menu, overlay feature, nowrap (Single row menu), LinkBar menu, Iconic menu and Ribbon menu.

We're only going to talk about two of them.

Ribbon menu

Ribbon menu is a kind of a simple menu looking nice on a desktop. The dropdowns are positioned below each other. Actually, you've got one more opportunity to give your customers a pleasant navigation experience.

Iconic drop down menu

We bet you like an iconic navigation menu. It makes the products your website provides visually clear. Magento 2 Navigation Pro module offers to use 2 types of iconic menu:

  • Top iconic menu
  • Drop down iconic menu

The last one is available since 1.6 release. This menu shows the dropdowns within the one menu instance only.  

We hope new menu styles will help you build really intuitive navigation at your Magento 2 website. Please tell us in comments what else features you'd like to see in Navigation Pro module.
