How to create a Menu in BOWWE?

Have you ever found yourself lost on a website, unsure of where to find the information you're looking for? One of the most important elements of a website is its navigation system, and a well-designed menu is the key to guiding your users through your site.

 

With our tutorial and expert tips, you'll be able to create a menu that not only helps your users find what they're looking for, but also enhances the overall look and feel of your website.

Where should you put menu on your website?

Navbar

The navbar is a common location for a menu as it is one of the first things users see when they arrive on your website. Placing your menu in the navbar ensures it is easily accessible and visible to users

Remember about:

In BOWWE, content placed in Navbar and Footer will be automatically duplicated to all pages in your project. It allows you to easily create a beautiful and consistent design and simplify user’s navigation through your website.
