Maintain Consistent Navigation - Webflow

Maintain Consistent Navigation in Webflow

1. Open your Webflow project and navigate to any page that contains your primary navigation component.
2. In the Navigator panel, locate your navigation element (typically a Navbar component or a custom nav wrapper).
3. Select the navigation element and confirm it is set as a Symbol (or “Component” in newer Webflow terminology).
   • If it is not a Symbol/Component, click the Create Component button in the top bar and name it “Site Navigation” or similar.
4. Double-click the navigation Component to enter edit mode, and confirm that all navigation links, dropdowns, and logos are correctly structured and styled.
5. Check each link inside the navigation:
   • Ensure it points to the correct page using the Link Settings panel.
   • Verify the link text is identical across all pages (e.g., “About”, not “About Us” on one page and “About” on another).
6. Confirm the navigation’s semantic tag:
   • Select the nav wrapper → open Element Settings → set Tag: <nav>.
7. Exit the Component and switch to another page using the Pages panel.
8. Ensure the same navigation Component appears at the top of the page.
   • If missing, drag the “Site Navigation” Component from the Components panel into the top of the page structure.
9. Repeat step 8 for every page to guarantee identical navigation placement and structure.
10. Publish the site and verify on the live site that all pages contain the same navigation bar, in the same order, with consistent links and behavior.
