How to create Mega Menu with Multiple Tabs on Editor X | Editor X

One of the most critical features of any website is the ability to navigate through pages easily. This is often achieved through an effective and user-friendly menu or navigation bar. An interesting and efficient technique to provide multiple navigation options without overwhelming users is the concept of a "mega menu." A mega menu allows you to display multiple tabs within a single dropdown when hovering over a primary menu item.

In this blog post, we're going to explore how to create a mega menu with multiple tabs using Editor X, taking inspiration from Nike's excellent website. Additionally, we'll also dive into the features of livelearning.editorx.io, where you can join a community that offers monthly NoCode Design Challenges with Prizes and get valuable mentorship on building design businesses and furthering your career.

Breaking Down a Mega Menu

To begin, let's analyze what we're aiming to build. The mega menu we're looking to recreate here consists of a header with two strips. The first strip is the gray one at the top, while the second (white) strip contains the menu buttons and their specific content.

An important aspect to note is that this can be a complex section to build, so it's best to manage it via a separate page. This can help prevent it from interfering with your website design, while also simplifying the process and keeping your workspace organized.

Building the Mega Menu in Editor X

Now that we know what we're trying to achieve, let's dive into how we can create this mega menu using Editor X.

Step 1: Create the Header and Grid

First, add a header to your website and create a grid within it. As a reminder, this grid should include two columns representing the gray and white strips within our mega menu.

Step 2: Add a Container

Next, you will add a new container for the menu itself and all its content. We recommend keeping its position relative to other elements on the page to make modifications easier as you continue building your site.

Step 3: Create the Grid for Mega Menu Content

Inside the container you just created, add a grid that features seven rows. You might wonder why we have chosen seven rows when we have six tabs in our mega menu. This extra row is for additional content and elements you wish to include, providing more flexibility in your design.

Step 4: Customize the Menu Buttons and Content

Now that you have the framework set up for your mega menu, it's time to add the individual menu buttons and their corresponding content. You can do this by designing and stylizing each button as per your preferences and then linking them to the pre-built rows you've created in your grid.

Step 5: Implement Hover Effects for Tabs

In order for your mega menu to function properly, you'll also need to implement hover effects for each navigation tab. This can be done using the interactions and animations features offered by Editor X. Simply select the trigger, in this case, the hover action, and apply the desired effect, such as revealing a specific menu for each tab.
