Good news: the KIJO team (we’re a web design agency in Birmingham) have hand-picked 3 mega menu examples to help you kickstart your design inspiration.
Whether you’re planning a website design overhaul or fine-tuning your current site, these examples show exactly what’s possible when it comes to creating a more intuitive, engaging navigation experience.
