Last updated on December 28, 2022 @ 8:50 pm

There are two types of dropdown menus in Squarespace:

1. Standard Dropdown

The standard dropdown menu is the most common type of dropdown menu.

It is typically used for primary navigation. To create a standard dropdown menu:

    1. In the Home Menu, click Pages.

    2. Click the + symbol next to the page you want to add a dropdown menu to.

    3. Select Subpage from the Add Page Menu.

    4. Enter a name for the subpage and click Add.

    5. Click the + symbol next to the new subpage.

    6. Enter a name for the subpage and click Add.

Your standard dropdown menu is now complete!

The mega dropdown menu is a newer type of dropdown menu that is becoming more popular.
It is typically used for secondary navigation. To create a mega dropdown menu:

  1. In the Home Menu, click Pages.
  2. Click the + symbol next to the page you want to add a dropdown menu to.
  3. Select Subpage from the Add Page Menu.
  4. Enter a name for the subpage and click Add.
  5. Click Design from the Home Menu.
  6. Click Navigation and then click Mega Dropdowns from the Navigation Mode section.
  7. Note: If you don’t see this option, it may not be available for your template.

  8. Click Save.
  9. (Your mega dropdown menu is now complete!)

    PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with coding, we do not recommend trying to create a drop down in Squarespace navigation. This can result in unintended consequences on your website, including broken code and pages that do not load properly.
