The navigation menu bar is the main bar at the top of your website. It contains your most important navigation items, such as DJs & Hosts, Contests, and more.

Key Features

  1. Sticky Navigation: The navigation bar remains visible at the top of the page as users scroll. This provides easy, consistent access to site navigation from anywhere on the site.

    Sticky Navigation Example

  2. Listen Live Button: As users scroll down the page, a small "Listen Live" icon appears on the right-hand side of the sidebar. This provides persistent access to your live stream when the main "Listen Live" button in the header is no longer visible or if it is not configured.

  3. Search in the Mobile Navigation Menu: On mobile devices, the search bar automatically appears at the bottom of your responsive website. This ensures users always have access to search functionality, regardless of whether the "Search Bar" widget is used or where it is placed.

These features improve navigation and accessibility for your audience, helping them engage with your station's content more easily.
