Navigation Best Practices

Boise State WordPress sites should feature three custom menus by default. Additional menus can be added as required.

  1. Local Nav
  2. Related Content
  3. External Links
  • Your site’s Home page should be at the top of the Local Nav
  • A “Contact” menu item should be at the bottom of the Local Nav
  • A subsite should be created if a section requires a different navigation
