Current Site Menu

The current site menu lets users navigate through the unit's site.

Keep in mind:

  • Menu item names should be short. This makes them easier to read.
  • Every menu item needs to link to a page, even top level menu items with submenus. In this case, it is good practice to have a list of links somewhere on top level menu pages for those that may have JavaScript turned off and are unable to see submenus.
  • Menu item names should reflect the name of the page it is linking to. Don't confuse the visitor by using one name in the menu that is significantly different than the page name it is linking to. The menu item name can be shorter, but should not be totally different.
    • Like this: "Facilities - Gainesville" link goes to "Facilities - Gainesville Campus" page
    • Not like this: "Outdoor Activities" link goes to "Intramural Sports" page
  • Menu items (including submenus) should be limited to less than 10.
  • It is not recommended to use third level/sub-sub-menu levels due to mobile responsiveness. 
  • When the top level menu item is a link to a landing page for a flyout section, a submenu item must be added to the end of the flyout menu that links to the top level page. 
    • Example structure: 
      • Top Level Item 1
        • Submenu Item 1
        • Submenu Item 2
        • Submenu Item 3
        • Top Level Item 1-All
