This section will tell you about some of the menu and sidebar options available with the blue.lift template. You can also see some examples of them on this and other pages on this website.
Menus
The main menu is found on the top right corner of the blue.lift template website. You control which pages on your site go on the menu, and all the menu item names can be customized. Menu items can be nested creating sub-menus that open when the user hovers over the parent item.
You can also create menus and place them as widgets in any of the sidebars. For example, the menu links at the bottom of this website is a menu widget.
Sidebars
The blue.lift theme offers top, right, left and bottom sidebars that allows you to further customize your website without programming. All you have to do is drag and drop widgets into the sidebars from your WordPress admin page.
You can use widgets to provide important information to your website visitors, or encourage a particular action, and more! Here are some of the standard widgets available (additional widgets may be installed with plugins):
