Websites often have lots of menus to list. The standard About, Contact, Biography and Services are often not enough.
The dilemma is where to put all those menus and sub-menus.
Here are some options:
- List everything horizontally across the top
- Advantages: People can see every topic and item you wish to cover as soon as they enter your website
- Disadvantages: If you have a lot of content, your web page has to be pretty wide, usually extending from one side to the other. Otherwise, you would have to edit very carefully what makes up your menus.
- Example: Artdaily.org. Art daily has placed all of its menus (all 11 of them) across its website.
- Advantages: Frees up more space horizontally
- Disadvantages: Could be difficult to find the subsidiary menus
- Example: Paypal has put it's most important menus to get you started (Home, Personal, Business, Products & Services) horizontally about 1/4 from the top. At the very top, and at the very bottom, it has a large list of subsidiary menus for more detailed and additional information.
