The navigation menu bar is the main bar located at the top of your website. It is home to your most important navigation items, such as DJ’s & Hosts, Contests, and more.

We have included several features to enhance user experience as visitors scroll through your website:

  1. Sticky Navigation: This feature ensures the navigation bar remains visible at the top of the page as users scroll, providing easy and persistent 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.

    Listen Live Button Example
  3. Search in 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.

    Mobile Search Bar Example

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