Usability advantages of mega menu:

There are three outstanding points:

  • All options visible: If you visit some old websites, you will see that they still use traditional dropdown menu. The weakness of this kind of menu is hiding almost all options. If customers want to see, they have to hover the parent category. Hovering over many parent items to find an item, your customers will be crazy and leave immediately because of this frustration, especially if they do not keep the cursor and dropdown menu disappears, so terrible! With mega menu, that problem will be solved.
  • Organizing options: Mega menu will help re-organize your visual options into very friendly and logical groups. If you use traditional menu, it will be actually dizzying if the numbers of options on your site are too large.
  • Images and icons : Generally, mega menu comes with the icons that will quickly confirm for the visitor about the content of options, for example, Contact category will be illustrated by telephone or address book icon.
