Vertical Menu

The Vertical Menu layout places navigation along the side of the page rather than at the top, offering a distinctive look and extra space for content-rich menus.

This header layout features a vertical navigation menu placed on the left side of the page, creating a structured and easily accessible browsing experience. It’s ideal for eCommerce websites with extensive product categories, providing quick access to multiple sections while maintaining a clean and modern appearance.

This Vertical Menu Header Type efficiently combines Badges, Megamenu functionality, Menu Icons, Contact Information, and a Top Bar, providing an intuitive and highly navigable interface suitable for multi-category online stores or marketplaces.

Location: Header → Header Design → Vertical Menu
