Web Components - Drop-down Menus
Information on your website can be organized into separate pages and made easily accessible to your viewers with the use of dropdown menus. To make your website easy and intuitive to navigate, the menu remains the same on each page. Whether at the top of the page or on the side - only the page content changes.
A set of web pages organized logically and linked by menus provides the simplest way for viewers to find their way around a website. Rather than having to search through a sequence of links to discover the information a viewer wants, menus allow any page to be accessed from any other page. Additionally, grouping page content logically and placing similar content on the same page enhances your website’s “keyword concentration” - a metric used by search engines such as Google when evaluating websites for quality.
Websites using menus for page navigation can give viewers a sense of familiarity, since most programs they use on their home or office computers use a similar menu system. Familiarity and ease of use can keep people at your website for longer, reading more pages, and thus increase the success of your website.
Menus can be styled with any combination of colours and effects, and all modern web browsers support them.
