Better Navigation

Better navigation to replace the normal, boring dropdown navigation with a better one.

Part 1 – Build Navigation layout

Step 1

Scroll down to the footer to find the Sitemap link and start building better navigation.

Let’s add a layout in the Global Region under the header.

  • Drag and drop the first layout.
  • Then, do the same and drop the second layout.

Step 2

Let’s find and link the aria-controls to connect it with the menu.

  • Select and copy your link to find the aria-controls.
  • Open the Navigation Formatter, then paste it on the left side.
  • You will find the HTML code on the right side.
    • Copy the aria-controls value of that link.
  • Go back to BigCommerce Page Builder.
    • Navigate to your newly built layout, then rename it with the copied aria-controls.
  • Follow the same setup for the rest.

Now, fill in your content.

When all content is done, let’s move the layout to its proper Global Region.

Step 3

  • Click Layers.
  • Navigate to both layouts, then drag and drop them into Navigation-Global.
  • Delete any unwanted empty layouts inside Navigation-Global.
  • Save and publish to view the working navigation.
