Overview
Customize your website’s navigation menus (main nav, header, footer) using the drag-and-drop interface in the Storagely Dashboard.
Accessing Navigation Settings

- Navigate to Storage Website > Navigation.
- Use the dropdown menu to select the navigation section you’d like to edit:
- Main Navigation

Creating & Editing Menus
- Click Create Menu to add a new navigation item.
- Use Copy Menu to duplicate an existing menu structure.
- Drag and drop items to reorder them.
- Click the pencil icon to edit or the trash icon to remove an item.
Using Nested Navigation
- Create submenus by dragging items under a parent item.
- This is useful for organizing pages under states, cities, or categories.
- Each menu item can include:
- Name
- Link
- Active/Inactive status
Managing Links
- Links can point to:
- Internal pages (e.g., /storage-units-houston)
- External URLs (e.g., https://externalresource.com)
- To create a non-clickable placeholder, use # as the link value.
Toggling Visibility
- Use the eye icon to toggle whether a menu item is visible.
- Active = shown on the live website
- Inactive = hidden from visitors
Best Practices & Tips for Menu Creation
- Keep it simple and scannable Limit the number of top-level menu items to 5–7 for a cleaner, easier-to-navigate interface.
- Use clear, intuitive labels Menu names should be short, descriptive, and relevant to your customers (e.g., “Storage Units” vs. “Explore Our Facility”).
- Group related content Use nested menus to organize by location, region, or category. Avoid overwhelming users with a long single-level list.
- Prioritize most-used links Put your most visited or highest-converting pages (like “Storage Units” or “Pay Bill”) near the top of the navigation.
- Don’t link to empty pages Avoid broken links or placeholder pages — always make sure linked pages are live and accurate.
- Check your mobile view Ensure the menu structure is mobile-friendly and doesn’t overcrowd the screen on smaller devices.
- Use descriptive names for internal navigation This helps you and your team manage the structure more easily behind the scenes.
