Navigation Menu

Use Navigation Menu for website main navigation, especially when you have many pages organized into categories. It's perfect for marketing sites, documentation, e-commerce sites, or any content-heavy website needing organized, accessible navigation.

Mega menus are large dropdown panels that show multiple columns of links, often with additional content like images, descriptions, or featured items. They're useful for sites with many pages, providing overview of available content without overwhelming users.

Hover works well for desktop but fails on mobile. Click works everywhere but requires extra interaction. Best practice: use hover on desktop with click/tap fallback for mobile, or use click-only for consistency across all devices.

Highlight the current page's nav item with active state styling (different background, underline, or color). This helps users understand where they are in the site structure and provides essential wayfinding context.

Yes! Icons can enhance navigation by providing visual context for sections. Use icons consistently (all items or none) and ensure they're meaningful—generic icons add visual noise without improving understanding.
