Header Meganav
A navigation item that opens a dropdown. The left side is a menu of links, the right side holds featured cards.
Used for “Shop” in the main navigation.
Settings
Section titled “Settings”| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Title | The nav label. |
| URL | Optional. Clicking the nav label always opens the dropdown — it never navigates. If you set a URL it appears as the first entry in the dropdown, labelled “All {title}”. |
| Subnav menu | The link list shown down the left of the dropdown. |
| Glow colour | Colour of the soft blur behind the label on hover and while open. Defaults to Sun. |
The glow is configurable per block, so different top-level items can carry different accent colours.
Blocks
Section titled “Blocks”Two card types go in the right-hand side:
Featured product — a product with optional title, description, image and URL overrides. Empty overrides fall back to the product’s own values.
Page link — a generic card pointing anywhere, with its own title, description and image. Use it for editorial or landing pages that aren’t products.
Behaviour
Section titled “Behaviour”Opens on click, closes on click-outside or Escape. Only one meganav is open at
a time — opening one dispatches an event the header listens for.
On mobile the panel is a dark full-width surface inside the drawer; on desktop it’s a light rounded panel below the header bar. While any dropdown is open the header bar turns solid white, so the bar and the panel read as one surface.
- Keep the subnav menu to one screen. Long lists scroll on desktop, which hides items.
- Two or three cards fit the right side comfortably.
- Set the glow colour to something from the brand palette — it sits behind text, so anything saturated hurts legibility.
