Hello. I'm stepping into the VP PR role in my chapter, and I'm trying to freshen up our web presence. One of the things I'd like to do is to reduce the menu to a dropdown "hamburger" menu. CHanging the menu style to accordion or tabbed doesn't seem to do anything for our site (3546.toastmasterclubs.org). Is there way to get that drop-down, or even to remove the menu entirely?

I'd like to do this because I'd rather have actual content and useful links higher on the page rather than a menu that doesn't communicate anything.

Thanks.
Daryl

Hi, Daryl !!!

We wanted to do something similar in my club, and came up with a reasonably useful workaround. We put the useful links in a single line at the very top of the page, giving something like the feel of a menu bar. There are no dropdowns, but that might be useful, in a way. Rather than dumping tons of choices and possibly being confusing, we had to choose the 5 or 6 most important items. (I think that 5 looks best and is less crowded, but we've managed 6 in the past.)

To make it obvious that they are links, we made the text for each blue, instead of black, and underlined it. We tried to find the most pressing questions that visitors might have all over the range of understanding of what Toastmasters is. The questions are, "What are you?" "Do you fit my schedule?" "Can you ease my fears about visiting?" "What does it take to join?" and "What's it like to be a member?"

We needed very short text descriptions to make it all fit on one line, and chose the title text: "About Us," "Time & Place," "What to Expect," "How to Join," and "Club News." We'll probably change that last one to "Our Facebook," as our Facebook page gives a more dynamic picture of club life, and never goes out of date.

Feel free to peek at what we've done, copy it if you'd like, and especially, let me know if anything looks or feels "off" to you. (If it puts you off, it'll do that for some visitors too, and we'd want to know that.)

Take care...

Wes B.
