Choose the right desktop menu for your event website and customize its appearance. You can choose from three different menu options for desktop and laptop.
The best option depends on:
the number of pages on your website
how you want visitors to navigate your website
your event’s visual style
Good to know: each menu is available with or without icons.
Set up your desktop menu
You can find the desktop menu settings under: Website Module > Design > Menu.
Here, you can choose the menu type you want to use on desktop and laptop.
Want to adjust more settings? Click "More options". Depending on the menu type you selected, you can customize settings such as:
menu position
text alignment within the menu
text color
icons in the menu
The Vertical slider also includes two additional settings:
Menu background color
Transparency
Please note: the menu background color you set here is also used for the mobile menu.
Change the background color for another menu type
The Menu background color and Transparency settings are only visible when you select the Vertical slider.
Want to change the background color but use a different menu type, such as the horizontal menu? You can still do this:
Temporarily select the Vertical slider.
Click "More options".
Set your preferred color under Menu background color.
Select the menu type you want to use again, for example Horizontal buttons with dropdown menu.
Click "Save".
The background color you selected will remain saved.
Tip: you can also use this method if you only want to change the background color of the mobile menu while using a different menu type on desktop.
1. Vertical slider
Best for: websites with many pages and a minimalist look.
With this menu, visitors click Menu. The menu then slides in from the side of the screen.
All pages are displayed in a clear vertical list. If you have many pages, visitors can scroll within the menu to view them all.
Choose this menu if:
you want to display many pages
you prefer a clean, minimalist design
you want to keep all navigation in one place
With this menu type, you can also use "More options" to adjust the menu background color and transparency.
2. Horizontal buttons with dropdown menu
Best for: websites with fewer pages and direct navigation.
With this menu, visitors immediately see four pages at the top of the website. If you have more than four pages, the additional pages are automatically placed in a dropdown menu.
Choose this menu if:
you want your most important pages to be immediately visible
you want compact and clear navigation
your website has only a few pages
Tip: this option works especially well if you want visitors to quickly access the most important sections of your website.
3. Dropdown menu
Best for: websites with many pages and quick navigation.
With this menu, visitors hover over Menu. A dropdown menu then opens and displays all pages.
This option works well with a mobile app-style menu. It allows you to include many pages without making your website look crowded.
Choose this menu if:
you have many pages
you want fast and compact navigation
you want the desktop and mobile navigation to work well together
Which menu is right for you?
Use this overview as a guideline:
Vertical slider: many pages and a minimalist design
Horizontal buttons with dropdown menu: fewer pages and direct visibility
Dropdown menu: many pages and fast, compact navigation
Mobile view
You can also choose from different menu options for the mobile version of your website.
The menu background color you set through the Vertical slider is also used for the mobile menu.
