Understand Secondary Menus

Menus allow users to easily navigate your site and find important information about your ministry.

Understand the Menus

1. The main menu, or Primary Nav, is the primary way users navigate your site. For ease, it should be set to automatically update as you add, delete, reorder, and rename pages.

   • If your primary nav is not updating as you make changes, check your navigation settings. The primary nav should show the Nested Pages menu.

2. The Secondary Menu appears above the main menu, alongside the call to action button. This is great for quick links or member-related pages.

3. The Footer Menu appears at the bottom of every page. It often contains links to policies, contact information, or additional resources.

Choose Navigation Settings

First, set your navigation settings to dictate which menu should display where on the site. You can learn about these options in the Navigation Settings article.
