Step-by-Step Guide to Adding a Menu Button on Wix

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to add a menu button to your Wix website:

Step 1: Open Your Wix Website

To start, log in to your Wix account and open the website where you want to add the menu button. Wix offers an intuitive editor that makes it easy to customize your website. Click on the 'Edit' button to open the editor. If you have not done so yet, follow the prompts to set up your Wix account.

Step 2: Access the Editor Tools

Once you are in the Wix editor, you will see a range of tools at the left side of the page. These tools allow you to add various elements to your website. Click on the 'Add' button to reveal the available elements you can add to your site.

Step 3: Choose Decorative Elements

Under the 'Add' button, you will find a variety of elements you can choose from. Select the 'Decorative' option, which provides you with a range of shapes and elements that can be used for decoration without adding any functionality. Click on 'Decorative' to expand the selection.

Step 4: Select Basic Shapes

From the decorative elements, scroll down until you see the 'Basic Shapes' option. This section contains several simple shapes that you can use to create a menu button. Click on 'Basic Shapes' to proceed.

Step 5: Type 'Menu'

In the search bar provided, type 'menu'. This will filter the shapes to show only those that are related to a menu. Once you have typed 'menu', you will see a range of options appear. Choose the shape that best fits your needs and aligns with the overall design of your website. In this guide, we will use a rectangular shape for our menu button. Select the desired shape.

Step 6: Add the Menu Button to the Page

Once you have selected the shape for your menu button, click on it to add it to your page. You can then move it around the page to position it where you want it to appear. If you are happy with its position, you can use the design tools to further customize the appearance of the button.

Step 7: Design the Menu Button

If you want to further customize the appearance of your menu button, such as changing its color, size, or adding text, click on the 'Design' icon. This icon is usually displayed next to the menu button you have added. Use the design tools to tweak the appearance until you are satisfied. You can also add a hover effect or click effect to make the button more interactive.

Step 8: Link the Menu Button

To make your menu button functional, you need to link it to the pages or sections of your website where you want it to lead users. Click on the menu button to select it, and then click on the 'Link' icon. From the dropdown, select the page or section you want the button to link to. Alternatively, you can create a custom code if you need more specific functionality.
