Why Use Menus?

A menu functions as a site map, so it must be simple for visitors to understand, navigate, and, most importantly, find the items they’re looking for.

Additionally, a well-designed menu enhances the user experience and ultimately leads to conversions, as you may have already figured out. If users can find their desired location, they will likely stay on a website and view more material.
