A need a complicated menu structure :-)

I have a client who wants a complicated menu structure. In fact; he needs four menus, including submenus. So using buttons as a second menu won’t work because I need submenus. For every type of visitor, there are different submenu’s needed, and the homepage has his own menu, with submenus too.

On his site three types of visitors can find specific information. Those three types of visitors are:

  • an employee;
  • an former employee;
  • a retired employee;

So, I imagine that the Homepage has a menu like this:
About your pension (with dropdown submenus about types of pension) - about us (also with dropdown submenus like Jobs, Financial)- News - Contact

Further down the homepage there are three big buttons that leads to three different pages, each with their own menu structure with submenus.

The homepage for Employee has the following menu ***** :
Your pension (with dropdown submenus) - What if (with dropdown submenus) - Questions (with dropdown submenus) - About us - News - Contact

The homepage for Former Employee has the following menu ***** :
Your pension (with dropdown submenus) - What if (with dropdown submenus) - Questions (with dropdown submenus) - About us - News - Contact

The homepage for Retired Employee has the following menu ***** :
Your pension (with dropdown submenus) - What if (with dropdown submenus) - Questions (with dropdown submenus) - About us - News - Contact

  • the menu structures for Employee , Former Employee and Retired Employee are the same but the information on al those pages is different and very specific for this type of visitor.

All those submenu pages need their own page, so no long-scroll page and anchors are needed. And also maybe good to know; no member login needed.

Now my main question; HOW CAN I ACHIEVE THIS? :face_with_monocle: Is it possible the created diiferent menu, with submenus for specific pages?

You have to create each “menu” (collection of links in a certain organization) and each menu can have “hamburger buttons” that are any shape/icon you’d like and can light up in color, change shape/color and many other attributes you can imagine. The header can be just basic assignable text links/buttons or you can have these hamburger button drop downs anywhere you’d like, creating the illusion/feel of multiple menus. This is a decent video.

Thank you Nelson, this is a great idea! Not completely what I have in mind but it’s good alternative.
Still hoping if someone has a Wix Code - option for this. If there isn’t one I’ll go for the Hamburger menu option. THANKS!

Hey Michiel, I forgot to mention that you can also use lightboxes as a dropdown menu look/feature. You can use them in combo with the hamburgers. What you’re, trying to do is not complicated and does not require any complex coding. Mainly adjusting property settings on certain elements.

Go to YouTube and search for Code Queen. She has awesome vids for making all the new basics like the ones you are trying to do. She goes step by step and she makes it very easy to follow and understand.
