The navigation menu appears along your website's top header and is mirrored in the left column of the Page Editor. A well-structured navigation menu helps visitors find what they need quickly and improves your site's overall usability.
Menu Item Types
New Page
Creates a brand-new page with customisable content. You can configure the page name, URL, and choose a template during creation. This is the most common menu item type.
New Blog Post
Adds a new blog article with dedicated post templates and URL configuration. Blog posts appear on your Blog Summary Page as well as in the menu if enabled.
Internal Link
Links to an existing page within your site. This allows the same page to appear in multiple menu locations without duplicating content — useful for landing pages or key service pages.
External Link
Directs visitors to an outside website. You can choose whether the link opens in the same browser tab or a new tab. Ideal for linking to social media profiles or partner sites.
Placeholder
Serves as an organisational container for sub-items without any standalone content of its own. Visitors cannot click through to a placeholder — it simply groups child pages in a dropdown.
Page Anchor
Creates navigation to a specific section within the same or a different page. Anchor links scroll the visitor directly to the target section, making them perfect for single-page layouts.
Adding a Menu Item
- 1Click 'Page' in the top-left corner to expand the pages menu
- 2Select 'Add New' and choose the menu item type you need
- 3Configure the settings — name, URL, and template (if applicable)
- 4Toggle 'Show on Menu' in the Publish settings to make it visible in navigation
- 5Drag the item to reorder it within the menu, or nest it under another item to create a dropdown
Organising Your Menu
You can reorder menu items by dragging and dropping them in the pages panel. To create sub-menus, drag a page slightly to the right underneath its parent item. This creates a dropdown structure that keeps your top-level navigation clean.
Keep your top-level menu to 5–7 items maximum. Too many links can overwhelm visitors. Use placeholders or sub-menus to group related pages together.
Best Practices
Use short, descriptive labels that clearly tell visitors what each page contains. Maintain a consistent ordering across your site, and avoid jargon or internal terminology. Place your most important pages — such as Services, About, and Contact — in prominent positions.
