- What kinds of menu items do I want to include in my menu framework?
- It depends on what kind of store you have and what approach you take you’d like to take with it. We advise looking at other examples of online storefronts and seeing what they’ve done to get some ideas. We’ve also included a few suggestions of our own to provide you with some food for thought.
- Typically the lower menu includes more policy and factual/informational links. They include items like:
- Store Help,
- About Us Pages
- Contact Us Pages
- Payment Option Information
- Returns & Exchange Policies
- Shipping Policies
- The upper navigation is more promotional in nature and includes more "fun stuff", things like:
- Upcoming News and Events,
- Perhaps another About Us & Contact Us link,
- Most popular products,
- Any Advertising or Store Promotion links – Sales pages, Most Popular Products etc.
- Side Navigation usually focuses on your products and includes other product groupings beyond your basic category structure (usually placed below in a separate navigation box); we’ve seen sites include menus where products are grouped by:
- Activity
- Collection
- Sale
