Adding Top-level menu items

Overview

This shows you how to add a new Page or Signposting Page to your top-level menu for your website.

Advice

Whilst there is no limit to adding new menu items,
Warning
it is strongly advised to keep the number of links at the top-level menu as low as possible.
Top menus can get overwhelming to the visitor, and whilst you may think you're making things easier to see, you're actually hiding content in a big list.

Before adding a new top-level menu, consider:
  1. Adding a link to the "Popular Links" section. This highlights pages in the Search and Footer.
  2. Adding a link to the "Quick Links" section. This puts the page link on the homepage, making it easy to find.
