Make sure your visitors can quickly find the information they need. Make your website "sticky" without:
- making your web pages significantly larger
- slowing down your site
- annoying the search engines!
If your menu is starting to look like a maze, we can help you trim it back and make sure your visitors enjoy their visit to your site. Want to see an example? The menu you see on the left is a custom navigation menu. The key is the ability to create multiple levels within one menu. The menu at the left uses two levels - the main level that appears on each page is relatively short. The second level menus group pages into logical segments.
We're using a new generation of menu software* that integrates extremely well into the Point2 Agent Websites for the following reasons:
- The menu is pure CSS - lighter and faster than traditional DHTML menus
- Cross-browser support includes IE, Firefox, Netscape, Opera, Mozilla and Safari
- Multi-level menus are no problem
- Search engine friendly - search engines can read all levels of the menu
- No off-site hosting is required - The menu code is self-contained on your Point2 site
- Categories can be added to organize menu entries
- Menu items can link to other websites - try the "Visit Our Main Site" menu option on the menu to your left
Navigation on a website is critical. If your visitors can't find their way easily, or if they are overwhelmed, they won't stay on your website very long! Here's are a couple other examples (a new window will open):
- San Antonio Real Estate - Two levels
- Chicago Real Estate - Three levels under the Chicago Neighborhoods and Suburban Chicago Communities tabs
If it's time to clean up your menu, contact us today for more information.
*The software is offered by OpenCube. OpenCube menus are used on a variety of websites including Fedex, Best Buy, CompUSA and Delta. If you're a Do-It-Yourselfer, OpenCube is highly recommended.
Important Note: Designing a menu and uploading the code requires a fairly high level of technical expertise. If you do not possess advanced technical knowledge, we suggest you carefully consider whether a "do-it-yourself" approach is the best strategy for meeting your objectives.
