The navigation and menu system is one of the most important aspects of a website. A website navigation can take on many forms, from horizontal to vertical, from minimalistic to well developed buttons. No matter what the nav looks like, there’s one thing for certain: it should be intuitive and easily accessible. So for your Monday inspiration, we’ve rounded up 30 websites that we believe have exceptional navigation menus.

Hey, thanks for sharing this collection. Not only have you shared a collection of inspiring website navigation but you have shared some really beautiful websites. The Justdot website is something I’ve never really seen before and it’s executed really well. Cheers for sharing these are definitely going on my list of inspiration.
I worked on a similar looking site which was for diet classes and all site content was inside a black board in handwritten format and thanks to png format it looked so cool when publihsed in html.
Nice list of menus. Very much inspirational.
