The navigation menu is a critical component of any homepage. Draw attention to this menu by making it visible and contrasted to stand out from the rest of the page.

Remember that many users ignore the content of an entire homepage and go straight to the navigation menu.

Recently, web designers have experimented with hidden and partially visible navigation menus. However, research shows that hiding the navigation menu hinders user experience (UX) and content discoverability.

For these reasons, the navigation menu needs to be one of the most noticeable elements on the page. Use a banner, box, or contrasting colors to fulfill this guideline.
