Desktop menus for your event website

Choose the right desktop menu for your event website. Explore the different menu options for desktop and laptop and find the navigation style that best fits your number of pages and your event branding.

For the display of your event website on a desktop or laptop, you can choose from three different menu options.

The best option depends on:

  • the number of pages on your website

  • the way you want visitors to navigate

  • your event branding

Good to know: each menu is available with or without icons.

1. Vertical slider

Suitable for: websites with many pages and a minimalist look.

With this menu, the visitor clicks on "Menu". The menu then slides in from the side of the screen.

All pages are displayed clearly in a vertical list. Do you have many pages? Then the visitor can scroll within the menu to view them all.

Choose this menu if:

  • you want to show many pages

  • you prefer a clean and minimalist design

  • you want to place all navigation in one clear overview

2. Horizontal buttons with dropdown

Suitable for: websites with few pages and direct navigation.

With this menu, the visitor sees four pages displayed directly at the top of the website. Do you have more than four pages? Then the additional pages are automatically placed in a dropdown menu.

Choose this menu if:

  • your most important pages need to be visible right away

  • you want compact and clear navigation

  • your website has only a few pages

Tip: this option works especially well if you want to guide visitors quickly to the most important parts of your website.

3. Dropdown menu

Suitable for: websites with many pages and quick navigation.

With this menu, the visitor moves the mouse over Menu. A dropdown menu then opens showing all pages.

This option matches well with a mobile app menu and is useful if you want to make many pages available without making the screen look crowded.

Choose this menu if:

  • you have many pages

  • you want fast and compact navigation

  • you want your desktop and mobile navigation to align well

Which menu is the best fit?

Use this overview as a guideline:

  • Vertical slider: many pages and a minimalist design

  • Horizontal buttons with dropdown: few pages and direct visibility

  • Dropdown menu: many pages and fast, compact navigation
