A quick update on Sportzware Website menus.
Earlier this year, we did a major overhaul of sites - and I must say its been fantastic for engagement, traffic and importantly, your feedback.
There's opportunities to continually improve your presence - here's a tip about what some of you may see on your sites - More Menus
Firstly - More menus was around the convension of not allowing menu bars to scroll to a second line. We wanted people to think about the structure of their sites...its rare to see a website with 14 main menu items as it can confuse the user.
Instead, in the transitional period, we 'rolled up' menu items that would spill to a second line under what we called 'More Menus' - we expected most would be gone now.

However, there are still quite a few examples of it throughout the Network and we want to encourage you to go into your website editor; have a look at your menu structure and see if you can come up with a maximum of 8 or 9 topics.
Start with those main headings and then add other items into a sub nav.. e.g. 'Office Bearers' may be under an Administration menu..

We give you the flexibility to have as many menu items and sub nav items as you need; however - your users and fans will appreciate it if you give them some strong themes in your main menu, with sub navigation items tucked in underneath.
Don't know how to do this? No problem, you can read more on the wiki on Customising Your Website or contact our Customer Service Team.
Cheers, Andrew
