Max Mega Menu is one of the most widely used WordPress menu plugins. The free version has plenty of great features, but there’s also a paid version with added functionality.
You can quickly transform your menu into a mega menu and integrate all kinds of WordPress widgets. The plugin features are simply added to the standard WordPress interface, so you don’t need to worry about getting to grips with a new tool. There’s a handy drag-and-drop editor with options to add animations, transitions and icons, and a range of menu formats including flyouts, tabbed menus and vertical menus.
An important point to note is that Max Mega Menu is built with accessibility in mind. People with a visual impairment will therefore be able to use the keyboard or voice commands to navigate around your site.
