For end users to find your agency’s services and information quickly and easily, be mindful when organizing and labeling the navigational menu and sub-menus.
Your website has 2 menus:
Main menu - the main navigation bar across the center of your site
Footer menu - sits in the bottom of your site in the footer
For the best user experience, we recommend no more than 7 menu items at the top level of your Main menu. A short navigation bar is easier and faster for website visitors to read through. If they have to hunt through lots of options, they are less likely to find what they are looking for. This can generate more phone calls and emails to your office.
Adding a Menu Item
Content managers with the Editor role or Editorial Lead role are able to edit the menu.
There are two methods to adding a new item to the menu:

To edit a menu item under one of the top level headings, you'll have to use the Edit Children function.
