Menu Structure Tips

• Solution to add icons to menus: Add Icons to Menu
• Use a simple, visitor‑friendly structure:
  • Main menu includes key categories or pages (Home, Blog, Contact, etc.).
  • Submenus for further grouping (e.g., news categories).
• For mobile:
  • Keep dropdown levels shallow.
  • Use concise, clear labels.

Notes

• Keep the menu structure simple and easy to understand.
• For mobile, use a dedicated menu to maintain usability.
• Use the footer menu for policy links, contact, or other important information.
