This article outlines Menu and Navigation options for your website, detailing permanent navigation including main menus and submenus, shortcuts for easy access, and anchor menus for specific pages. It emphasizes the management of these elements through the website's dashboard and suggests contacting an expert for SEO-related changes.
There are twp Types of Menus available for Desktop, Menu items visible in the top bar (suckafish) or Hamburger. For both versions you can use different navigation tools within the website.
Permanent Navigation
Main menu
Main menu items are visible at all times in your menu bar or within the Hamburger menu. These are set up during the implementation phase by a Peppered Consultant.
These items can be managed in the Menus module. As changes can possibly impact SEO, we advice you to contact our service desk.
Submenu
The Submenu's can be changed, deleted or added by you in the Peppered Dashboard.
How to add new Submenu Item
Go to Website > Menu
As you can see, submenu titles can link to Pages but also to Theme Groups.
Click on "Add menu item" and use drag and drop (icon on the right) to give it the right position.
Within the menu you can select to which menu part it belongs. Select the right type, add the title (visible in the menu behind the hamburger) and the URL information. If you select a submenu, the new menu item added will become a sub-submenu.
Shortcuts
For menu-items that you want your visitors to have easy access to, you can add shortcuts to the header. In the picture below these are "theater/film/jouw bezoek". These links are visible in the header on all pages.
You can change them anytime you like. All you need to know is the URL of the link. The name of the link and the link itself need to be added via Website > Menu module > Shortcuts.
The shortcuts can also be placed between the logo and the service menu.
Ask a Peppered Consultant to change it for you as it involves a change in the code.
Anchors
It is also possible to add an extra navigation bar on a specific page. This is called an Anchor Menu. Each page in the Pages module can have its own menu, which will be displayed between the header of the website and the beginning of the page. This is especially useful for long pages. Thanks to the anchor link a visitor can go directly to the desired part of the page (without scrolling manually).
The page menu is shown here in grey under the main menu:
To add a Anchor link see the Adding Anchors to a Page section of the Pages module article.
Hamburger menu only on mobile
Some websites do not have a hamburger icon on desktop. The menu items are displayed in a navigation bar:
In this version there are no shortcut links in the header.
The hamburger icon is only displayed on mobile.
For the rest: submenus and anchors can be added the same way as with the first version.
