Check 14 / 16 LOW impact Free

Shop mega menu with product images, not text

What this check is

A menu made of text links makes the shopper read; a menu with product thumbnails lets them recognise. For a catalogue with more than a handful of lines, the visual menu is what keeps browsing inside the store.

How to implement it

Build the mega menu in the theme’s navigation settings or with a menu app, add a thumbnail and a one-line description for the top categories, and keep the panel to a single row of columns on desktop and an accordion on mobile. Link the images to the collections they represent.

How to verify it

Hover the main menu on desktop and tap it on mobile: every thumbnail should load, each link should land on the matching collection, and the panel should not push the page content off screen.
