Website Menu - Looking for help :-)

[Justin]

Just looking for a bit of feedback....inspirations maybe!

I have the main items on my top menu and the side menu appears once somethings clicked. I have dropdown menus on each heading as well.

Question is, should I just have these few headings or more? I want to add other items as well but rather than have loads in the top menu should I just have "Gifts" "Wall Art" etc.?

Appreciate any input on this please.

Justin....I don't know what you are intending adding but to me your site looks great just the way it is...........nice and crisp, clear and easy on the eye which to me is how a web site should be.

Thank you Roger Say for example I wanted to add jigsaws, bottles, teddies and so on. Should I stay as i am but have a gifts heading etc? I can't have any more headings as it is.

I would have it like this

Mugs mousemats t-shirts jigsaws teddies more (and have more as a drop down menu)

Cheers, trying to concentrate more on the premium items, glass, acrylics etc. I wasn't going to bother with the usual stuff as above but thought if there's a way to incorporate it...

I hate trying to make menus smaller, particularly when all of your products can be classed as gifts.

I would ditch the drop downs, particularly when there's only one product in the sub categories

also add all the sub-category products to the main category so they can be seen on the main click then you can filter to the other items (there's a quick bit of code to do that as standard in OC), maybe the sub-categories could be bannerised or something to explain what they are (why acrylic over aluminium etc)

What about...... 'Misc' with a drop down menu to show your 'non premium' offerings. That way your 'clean' look isn't compromised and 'Misc' tends to hit the 'Hmmmm I wonder what that is' part of the brain so folks will open it. If the drop down is nice and clear (as your main headings are) it will be simple to navigate. In the end ease of navigation is what will get people looking around. If it is too complicated or fussy people will swiftly lose interest. It's the 'KISS' principle........'Keep It Simple Stupid'.

I don't know what you are planning including but to me your website looks excellent just the way it is...........nice and sharp, obvious and simple on the eye which to me is how a website should be. website design service
