When you create a website, you spend a lot of time choosing your theme, crafting your content, and promoting your brand online.

What is a sticky menu and why do you need one?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traditional website menus<\/a> would disappear once the user scrolls past them. This makes it very easy for people to overlook some important piece of content that you really want them to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sticky menus can solve this issue. A sticky menu is a fixed navigation menu on a website that remains visible and in the same place, even when users scroll away and explore the site. It’s so effective that persistent navigation bars (or sticky headers) are pretty much a standard in web design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sticky menus are also popular because they aren’t obtrusive. You can usually find them on the side of the screen, which gives you plenty of space to create a website that looks exactly the way you want. These menus can improve the user experience because they contain helpful links that make it easier for users to navigate your site and find exactly what they are looking for with a click or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because these sticky menus are locked in place, your audience will always see your most valuable content, drawing their eyes exactly where you want to. You can use the sticky menu to promote your call-to-action landing pages, social media icons, popular categories, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you are running an ecommerce store, your top navigation menu should have all of the links that drive sales, like product search, categories, and checkout. If you make that top menu sticky, you can reduce your cart abandonment<\/a> rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
