When I began restructuring my website navigation headers and dropdown menus, I thought it would be fairly straightforward. Create two main tabs (For Professionals and For Individuals & Couples) organize the pages underneath, build what’s missing, and hit “publish.” I even planned on having my whole navigation breakdown ready to go for this blog post!
