Hello all,

I´ve just come across this forum through browsing online and hope people do not mind the direct question.

I have been working with a developer on a site for well over a year now: https://www.propertysolvers.co.uk/. However, stupidily, I didn´t think about creating a navigation during the initial design phases.

We´re both at a bit of a loss as to what to do now and thought it would be worth asking other web designers / developers.

The idea will be to have some kind of dropdown navigation menu somewhere at the top of the site which will have 15-16 different landing page links. The challenge we´re having is where to place the navigation, bearing in mind that the site needs to be responsive and not look silly when the drop down menu is selected as there is a rather long list

I was thinking of having some kind of "hamburger" menu option (something along the lines of what´s been applied to http://www.politico.com/). However, the developer generally believes it would be too cumbersome / long winded to use - i.e. having to keep opening up the navigation to change page.

I´m not sure if I´m explaining things well here so please feel free to ask for any clarifications.

Any suggestions / recommendations would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Ruban

Welcome to the forums

 

Main navigation should (usually) reflect top tasks, which you would have hopefully measured during your planning phase?

Don't use a hamburger or a dropdown unless there is no other option.

 

What you need is a full width navigation bar below the header image. It's not difficult to add this to the site - the developer should be able to do this in an hour or so.

 

But that's just the start of the problems. The content on many of the pages is below the fold (because your header area is so big) and on tablets and phones the page stuctures aren't that good. It's not helped by the constantly changing styles as you scroll.

 

And 71-75 Shelton Street isn't a good place to be. It's lumps you in with a thousands of other anonymous companies. Even the FCA issues warning about some companies at this address.
