Managing the Site Menu (Website Navigation)

3. Click the Edit (pencil) icon on any page to open the builder.
4. Click the Menu tab (top-right).

You’ll see header options (logo & site name), a list of Menu Items, and a + New Item button.

2) Header Options: Logo & Site Name

• Include Full Logo – show main horizontal logo.
• Include Square Logo – show compact/square logo.
• Include Site Name – display your site title as text.

Common choices: Square Logo + Site Name or Full Logo only. Changes preview instantly.

3) Understanding Menu Items

• ≡ Drag handle – drag to reorder.
• Label – what visitors see (e.g., About, Ministries).
• Type – Link (goes to a URL) or Menu (dropdown heading with sub-links).
• Actions – Open (view destination), Edit, Delete. For Menu types you’ll also see + to add sub-links.

4) Add a New Menu Item

Click + New Item and choose Link or Menu.

4.1 Add a Link

1. + New Item > Link.
2. Set Label (e.g., About, Plan a Visit).
3. Choose Destination:
   • Existing Page (Home, About, Give, etc.)
   • New Page (create & link a page)
   • External URL (YouTube, podcast, parent site)
4. Click Save changes, then drag to position.

4.2 Add a Menu (Dropdown)

1. + New Item > Menu, set a Label (e.g., Ministries, Next Steps), then Save changes.
2. In the list, find your new Menu and click + (add Link to this Menu).
3. Add links under this dropdown as needed.

5) Reorder & Organize Items

• Use the ≡ handle to drag items; higher items appear farther left.
• Keep high-value links (e.g., Plan a Visit, Give) near the beginning.

6) Edit or Remove Items

• Edit () to change label/destination.
• Delete () removes the menu item only (does not delete the page).

You can re-add a link any time and point it to the same page.

7) Practical Examples

Example 1: Simple 5-Item Church Menu

1. Home
2. About — story, beliefs, staff
3. Ministries (Menu)
   • Kids
   • Youth
   • Groups
4. Plan a Visit — points to a page with service times, parking, FAQ
5. Give — direct link to giving page/widget

Example 2: External Live Stream

1. + New Item > Link
2. Label: Live Stream
3. Destination: External URL (paste YouTube/Facebook link)
4. Save, then drag near the front of the menu

Quick Tips

• Keep it short: Aim for 4–7 top-level items.
• Be clear: “Plan Your Visit” & “Give” should be easy to find.
• Use dropdowns wisely: Group related items under one heading.
• Hide one-off pages: Don’t add special registrations to the main menu—share direct links instead.
