Menus

There are four navigation menus available and each serve different purpose as shown in the illustration below.

1. Main Menu

The main navigation for content on your website. This menu should have between 3 and 7 items. This menu has the dropdown feature for sub-links.

2. Header Quick Links

Use this menu for one of three purposes: calls to action, important secondary links, or audience-specific categories. The “Sign Ons” and “Info For…” links are required and should not be changed.

3. Footer Primary menu

This optional menu reinforces actions you want users to take immediately. Limit to no more than 6 items.

4. Footer Quick Links

Use this menu to direct users to additional pages with less emphasis and don’t appear as top-level menu items in the header menu(s). Limit to no more than 9 links.
