Make scrolling easier: Creating a sticky menu with MaxiBlocks


Make your navigation stick with MaxiBlocks!

Do you want your website’s navigation menu to stay visible even when users scroll down the page? A sticky menu offers a convenient solution, and creating one is easier than you think with the MaxiBlocks plugin.

Benefits of a sticky menu

  1. Improved user experience: Users can easily access important links on your website, regardless of their scrolling position.
  2. Enhanced navigation: Makes browsing your website smoother and more intuitive.

Creating a sticky menu with MaxiBlocks:

  1. Select the menu container: Click on the element that holds your menu items. This is typically the MaxiBlocks menu container.
  2. Access advanced settings: Locate the “Advanced Settings” option, usually found in a sidebar or panel depending on your theme.
  3. Switch to sticky position: Within the “Position” panel, change the position from “default” to “Sticky” using the dropdown menu.
  4. Fine-tune sticky behavior: Additional options appear when “Sticky” is selected. Open “Set equal settings” and set the “Top” value to “0.” This ensures the menu stays fixed at the top of the page when scrolling.
  5. Preview and save: Save your page and then log out of your WordPress account (the admin bar might overlap with the menu while logged in). Refresh the page and scroll to see your sticky menu in action!

Congratulations! You’ve successfully created a user-friendly sticky menu that enhances your website’s navigation.

Why make your navigation stick?

Making your navigation stick, or using a sticky navigation menu, means the menu stays visible at the top of the screen as a user scrolls down. This can really help with the user experience and website functionality for several reasons:

It’s a smart move to place your website’s menu at the top of the screen when someone scrolls down. This way you always have your tools at hand, no matter where you’re in the project. This way, visitors don’t have to scroll all the way back up to find their way around your website. This is very useful, especially on cell phones where people don’t want to swipe long distances to navigate.

A sticky menu keeps users engaged. If they can see everything they need at a glance, they’re more likely to stay on the page and look at what else you have to offer. It’s all about making things easy and convenient, which makes your website look more professional and trustworthy.

This type of menu is suitable for large websites with many sections. It keeps visitors from getting lost or frustrated when trying to find something specific. And for websites that are selling something or asking visitors to take action, having important buttons like ‘Contact Us” or ‘Buy Now’ always visible can be very helpful in getting more clicks.

While sticky navigation has its perks, it’s important to use it wisely so it doesn’t take up too much screen space or overwhelm users. When done right, a sticky menu can be a great tool for enhancing the user experience on your website.
