Do you structure your website menus and particularly sub-menus in alphabetical order or do you try to guess user-priority and put the most important elements first or at the top?

 

Most sites (including ours) seem to prefer the latter but with lots of options it might get a bit difficult for users to find things?

I kinda of do both, I will make sure that the more important links are first but also if there are equally important links I order them alphabetically.

Test and adjust. The menu should be structured to meet the needs of the visitor. The less links the better and avoid dropdowns if you can.

 

It's much easier for people if you link out from the page contents - especially on a small screen.

Thanks both for the feedback. Sounds like we're approaching ti correctly but we'll do some A-B testing.

the standard is usually laid out as below:

 

HOME - ABOUT US - SERVICES - TESTIMONIALS - BLOG - CONTACT US

 

since the eye automatically read left to right its a good idea having your main landing pages pushed over the the left
