The menu is a FUNDAMENTAL part of any web page because it allows us to organize the information and offer the best access to the user to execute actions and reach our objectives.
In WordPress, menus can be placed not only on the top but on the sidebars and the bottom of your web page, in addition to having different characteristics such as sublevels, dropouts, images, columns, boxes and more.
As the design is the first thing that the user notices when entering a web page, we bring you a list of plugins with which you can give an excellent appearance and functionality to the menu and capture the user’s attention.
