How do we deal with Mega-Dropdown-Menus

How do we deal with complex navigation on the web? What if you need 4–6 levels of navigation, showing up on mobile and on desktop? What are some of the reliable design patterns that work well in practice, reducing accessibility issues and minimizing mistakes in navigation?

In this session, we’ll explore navigation design patterns, from horizontal layering and sidebar navigation to cards index, A-Z pattern, sideways breadcrumbs, dynamic filters, query constructors and mega-drop-downs.

Target audience and takeaway

This workout is for interface designers, UX designers, front-end developers who’d love to be prepared for complex and time-consuming design challenges.

You’ll walk away with a toolbox of techniques and examples of doing things well — in your product, website, desktop app or a mobile app.
