Creating intuitive and easy-to-navigate menus is vital to guiding client families and visitors to key pages on your funeral home website.
Here’s how to manage your menus:
- From your WordPress dashboard, go to Appearance > Menus.
- If you don’t have a menu set up, click Create a New Menu. Assign it a name like “Main Menu” or “Footer Menu” based on its location.
- To add items to your menu, select from Pages, Posts, Categories, or create a Custom Link (useful for adding external resources, such as grief support tools).
- Drag and drop items into the order you want them to appear. You can also create sub-menus (drop-downs) by indenting items under a parent item.
- Once your menu is set up, assign it to a location under Menu Settings (e.g., Primary Menu for your website’s main navigation).
Best Practices:
- Ensure key services like “Funeral Planning,” “Obituaries,” and “Contact Us” are easy to find.
- Avoid overwhelming the menu with too many items; keep it simple and organized.
Optimizing for Mobile: Most modern WordPress themes automatically create mobile-responsive menus, but it’s worth testing your site on mobile devices to ensure client families can navigate it easily.
Updating your funeral home website’s menus regularly ensures that the most important content is always within reach, providing an effortless experience for those seeking information.
