Do you use Mega-menu navigation to improve usability?
Updated by Brady Stroud [SSW] 1 year ago. See history
By dividing site navigation into groups users will have better view of your site's structure at a glance and thus presenting them with meaningful choices. You can also group key pages together and give them emphasis.
Of course, don't use a mega dropdown menu just because you can. Turning your normal navigation into mega-menu whilst keeping it as one continuous level is generally a no-no. in the same manner, just because mega-menus have room, doesn't mean you should overload them.

❌ Figure: Bad Example - Long drop down menu requires scrolling and difficult to see at a glance.

✅ Figure: Good Example - Links are grouped into distinct category

Figure: Bear in mind that mobile menus are limited
