Wix Studio Tutorial 2024: How to Add a Mega Menu in Wix No Code]

Hey there, creative souls! Marshall here, and I hope you're having a wildly creative day. Today, we're diving headfirst into the world of Wix Studio to show you how to spice up your website with a fabulous mega menu. Whether you’re building a personal portfolio, an e-commerce site, or just love jazzing up your webpage, this guide is for you. So, grab your favorite beverage, sit back, and let's get to it!

What is a Mega Menu?

Before we roll up our sleeves and start tinkering, let’s chat about what a mega menu actually is. Think of a mega menu as a supercharged, all-inclusive buffet of menu options. Unlike standard menus that just list page links, a mega menu lets you add images, videos, and all kinds of advanced elements. It's like giving your visitors a visual feast right off the bat!

Step 1: Adding a Horizontal Menu

First things first, we need a solid foundation—a horizontal menu! Unfortunately, Wix Studio doesn’t support mega menus in vertical formats just yet, but hang in there; horizontal menus work perfectly for this purpose.

To install your menu:

1. Go to Add Elements - Navigate through the Wix Studio dashboard.

2. Find the Menu Section - Use the search bar or scroll to locate it.

3. Select a Horizontal Menu - Add it to your site canvas.

🎉 Boom, we're halfway there!

Step 2: Managing and Customizing Your Mega Menu

Alright, you’ve added your menu. Now, what? Enter the marvelous world of customization. Here's how:

1. Access Menu Management - Simply click on "Manage Menu".

2. Add Items to the Menu - Look for the option to add and enable the mega menu feature.

Now, you can rename it to something catchy like "Test" (or something that resonates better with your site’s visitors). The fun part, however, is decorating this container.

Step 3: Fill It With Content

It’s time for the magic! Edit the container to fill your mega menu with all the goodies:

- Add Images - Iconic visuals catch anyone’s eye, so pop them in!

- Incorporate Titles and Text - Perhaps some captivating headlines or descriptions?

- Embed Videos - Got an intro or tutorial video? This is where you put them.

- Explore Other Advanced Elements - The sky’s the limit. Go wild and be creative.

Wouldn’t this be perfect for, let’s say, a tutorial site? Showcase your star tutorials or programs. Add enticing images and titles, and your visitors will be eager to explore!

Step 4: Linking the Elements

We’re not just here to make things pretty; functionality is key. Add links to images or text elements to guide users through your site effortlessly. Whether it’s a video, blog, or product page, direct them without fuss.

Finalizing Your Design

When you’ve turned your vision into reality, click “Done.” This seals the deal and previews your newly fashioned mega menu in its full glory. From the preview, ensuring everything aligns perfectly is crucial.

How About Vertical Menus?

For those keen on vertical menus, fret not! While Wix Studio doesn’t support mega menus for vertical navigation yet, you can work around this by using a lightbox feature in the mobile editor. This keeps your site engaging, even on the go.
