How Do I Add A Drop Down Menu?

How to Create a Drop-Down Menu in Your Website Navigation

Overview

Drop-down menus help you organize your website navigation by grouping related pages or external links under one main menu item. This keeps your navigation clean, professional, and easier for visitors to browse.

You can use drop-down menus for services, galleries, pricing pages, client resources, information pages, or any other related pages you want grouped together. This guide walks you through how to create a drop-down menu in the PhotoBiz Website Builder and add pages or links to it.

By the end of this guide, you will have a drop-down menu added to your website navigation.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, use a desktop or laptop computer with a mouse or trackpad.

Drag-and-drop navigation editing is not supported on phones or tablet touchscreens. You will need a device that allows you to click, hold, and drag items in the Website Builder.

Important Notes About Drop-Down Menus

Drop-down menus are used as navigation containers. The drop-down name appears in your website navigation as the main menu label visitors can hover over or tap.

Keep the following in mind:

Drop-down menus can contain pages and external links.
You cannot place one drop-down menu inside another drop-down menu.
Drop-down menus do not contain website blocks.
A drop-down menu must be set to Visible if you want it to appear in your website navigation.

These rules help keep your website navigation clean, mobile-friendly, and easy for visitors to use.

STEP ONE

Log in to your PhotoBiz account and click WEBSITE in the left-side menu. This opens the Website Builder, where you can manage your website pages, links, and navigation.

STEP TWO

Click the NEW PAGE button at the top of the Website Builder. From the list of available page types, select DROP DOWN.

This creates a new drop-down container in your website navigation instead of a standard website page.

STEP THREE

When the right-side settings panel opens, enter the name you want visitors to see in your website navigation. This name will appear as the main menu item for your drop-down.

From the same panel, choose the visibility status for the drop-down menu. Set the drop-down to Visible if you want it to appear in your navigation. You can also keep it Hidden or Disabled while you are still working on your navigation.

Your drop-down menu is now created and ready for pages or links to be added.

STEP FOUR

Click and hold the page or external link you want to add to the drop-down menu. Drag it slightly to the right until it appears nested under the drop-down menu name, then release your mouse to place it inside the drop-down.

Repeat this process for each page or link you want to include under the drop-down menu.

FINAL STEP

Review your website navigation to confirm the pages or links appear correctly under the drop-down menu. Visitors will be able to open the drop-down by hovering over it or tapping it, depending on the device they are using.

If the drop-down menu or its items do not appear as expected, confirm that the drop-down menu and the pages or links inside it are set to Visible.

Additional Options and Helpful Notes

You can rearrange the order of pages inside a drop-down menu at any time. Click and hold the page or link, then drag it up or down within the drop-down menu.

You can also move pages or links out of a drop-down menu by dragging them back to the main navigation level.

If you want a page to be accessible by direct link but not shown in your main navigation, you can set that page visibility to Hidden. Hidden pages can still be shared by direct URL, but they will not appear as visible navigation items.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

Why is my drop-down menu not showing on my website?

Confirm that the drop-down menu is set to Visible. If the drop-down is Hidden or Disabled, it will not appear in your website navigation.

Why are the pages inside my drop-down not showing?

Each page or external link inside the drop-down must also be set to Visible if you want visitors to see it in the navigation.

Can I add blocks or content directly to a drop-down menu?

No. A drop-down menu is only a navigation container. It can hold pages and external links, but it cannot contain website blocks or page content.

Can I create a drop-down inside another drop-down?

No. Drop-down menus cannot be nested inside other drop-down menus.

Can I edit drop-down menus from my phone or tablet?

Drag-and-drop navigation editing is not supported on phones or tablet touchscreens. Use a desktop or laptop computer with a mouse or trackpad.
