Navigation menu options

The items in the Explore SMU menu are set by Development and External Affairs and may not be modified.

The consolidated menu system allows for up to three menu items. The flyout navigation and search menus can also be customized.

This menu system cannot be combined with the full-width menu option.

The full-width menu system allows for up to six or seven navigation menu items with automatically-built dropdown menus. The flyout navigation menu will be based on the full-width menu, and the flyout search menu can be customized. It cannot be combined with the consolidated menu system.

The flyout navigation menu provides a list of links and sections available in your site. The options available will depend on which masthead framework you select.

Customizable options may include menu items, call-to-action buttons, and general text, such as "Did you know..."

The flyout search menu contains an SMU-site-wide search box. Customizable options include frequent search terms, call-to-action buttons, and general text, such as "Did you know..."

You may not modify the search or limit it to a specific section of the site.

Use the departmental header feature on top-level landing pages to display a hero image, page title, description, and optional navigation menu. The menu will automatically be populated with a list of sub-pages.

Use the standard page with side menu page type for informational pages, especially when website visitors may need to access multiple pages within a section. The sidebar menu will automatically be populated.

Use the directory page layout to present headings, descriptions, and a curated list of links for multiple sections within a site.
