Maintain Consistent Navigation - Wix

Maintain Consistent Navigation in Wix

1. Open your site in the Wix Editor and navigate to any page that contains your main navigation menu.
2. Select the navigation element (standard Wix Menu or a custom header built with strips, boxes, or buttons).
3. In the toolbar, click Save to Site Theme or Save as Reusable Section (depending on your version of Wix).
   • Name it something like “Site Navigation” or “Global Header”.
4. Switch to another page using the left Pages panel.
5. Check whether your saved navigation section appears automatically at the top of the page.
   • If it does not, click the Add (+) button → Sections → My Sections and insert your saved “Site Navigation” section.
6. Verify that all menu items are identical across pages:
   • Select the menu → click Manage Menu.
   • Confirm labels (e.g., “Home”, “About”, “Services”) use the same text across all pages.
   • Ensure each item links to the correct page from the Link settings.
7. Review the navigation’s accessibility settings:
   • Select the navigation section → Accessibility.
   • Add a descriptive label such as “Site Navigation”.
   • Confirm keyboard focus ring is enabled for menu items.
8. Check your mobile menu:
   • Switch to Mobile view.
   • Select the hamburger icon → Accessibility → ensure it has a label like “Open Menu”.
   • Confirm menu items match the desktop version exactly.
9. Repeat steps 4–9 for every page to confirm each one uses the same saved navigation section in the same position.
10. Click Preview and test the navigation on multiple pages to verify consistency of layout, labels, links, and focus states.
11. Publish your site and test the live pages to ensure the navigation behaves identically throughout the site.
