How can I design an intuitive navigation menu?

Created by Admin Situs Desain, Modified on Tue, 8 Apr at 10:19 AM by Vivian Lim

Designing an intuitive navigation menu is essential for ensuring that users can easily find the information they’re looking for without frustration. Start by keeping the structure simple and logical—organize your pages in a way that reflects how users naturally think and browse. Limit the number of main menu items to avoid overwhelming visitors, and group related content under clear categories or dropdowns.

Use clear, descriptive labels rather than creative or vague terms. For example, use “About,” “Services,” or “Contact” instead of ambiguous phrases like “Our World” or “Get in Touch With Magic.” Consistency is key—place the menu in a familiar location (typically at the top of the page or in a sidebar), and ensure it behaves predictably across all devices. Don’t forget to make it responsive and mobile-friendly, with features like collapsible menus or hamburger icons for smaller screens.

An intuitive menu improves usability, keeps users engaged longer, and increases the chances they’ll explore more of your website.
