The navigation menu is one of the essential elements of any good website design. A developer cannot create a website without a proper navigation menu simply because it acts as a road sign or street directory – it helps users find their way around the site through knowing where they are currently. A website with good navigation menu will be more usable – thus providing users with a better online experience.

 

When choosing or designing a navigation menu for a website, developers should not only focus on unusual and creative design (although very important) but also on functionality and user-friendliness.

 

Here are some of the best examples of website navigation menus proven in the line of duty:

 

 

1. Multi-Level Push Menu.

 

This Multi-Level Push Menu is considered a modern take on the familiar push menu concept. This particular version is quite a good looker, and provides developers with the option to change color schemes. The Multi-Level Push Menu is easily integrated in most examples of website design. Some of the items featured in the menu are animated – developers can also tweak around with animation.
