# Mega menu
A mega menu is an expanded and visually appealing menu that displays multiple navigation options and subcategories in a single dropdown panel.
A well-designed mega menu simplifies the browsing process for your customers.
* It provides a clear overview of your store's product categories and subcategories, allowing users to quickly find what they want.
* It reduces the number of clicks required to navigate through your site, enhancing user satisfaction and encouraging exploration of your product offerings.

## Create a mega menu
**Steps:**
1. In FoxKit > **FoxKit power** > choose **Mega menu**
2. Select **Create menu**
Give your menu a name and select the layout for it.
You can choose 1 of the 2 layout options for your mega menu. It can be:
* **Horizontal menu**: In a horizontal mega menu, the parent menu items stand at the top; and sub-items, or child menu items, spread out underneath them.
* **Vertical menu**: In a vertical mega menu, the parent menu items stand on the left side; and sub-items, or child menu items, branch out from them to the right.
Each submenu item can be chosen as:
* Pure text link: Link the item to a certain collection, product, landing page, etc.
* Text link with image banner: A menu banner can attract customers' attention and communicate your messages more effectively.
### General
* **Title**: Insert your menu item label;
* **Link**: paste the page URL or select a page from your Shopify store that you want to link the menu item with, or simply leave it blank.
