What is a navigation bar?

A navigation bar, often shortened to "navbar", is the strip of menu links that sits at the top of nearly every website. It typically holds your logo on one side and links to your key pages such as Home, About, Services and Contact on the other. On a phone it usually collapses into a small menu icon, often called a hamburger menu, that opens the links when tapped. The navigation bar stays consistent from page to page so visitors always have a way to get around.

Why it matters: the navbar is how people find what they came for. If it is clear and well organised, visitors reach the right page in a click or two. If it is cluttered or confusing, they give up. It works hand in hand with your footer, which often repeats the same links lower down. An everyday example: a visitor lands on a plumber's home page from Google, glances at the navbar, spots "Emergency callout", and clicks straight through. Many sites also add a call to action button like "Get a quote" to the far right of the bar to catch ready-to-buy visitors.

Every Promino site comes with a professional navigation bar built in. You choose from a set of polished designs, add your links, and it automatically adapts to phones and tablets with the collapsing mobile menu handled for you.

Your logo, colours and fonts flow into it so it matches the rest of your brand, and it stays consistent across every page without you copying anything. Explore the full set of building blocks on the Promino features page.
