Overview
Top-level headings serve as the primary navigation points at the forefront of your school website. As the initial elements visitors encounter, these headings play a crucial role in providing a quick and efficient means for accessing specific categories of information. Top-level headings may feature a drop-down menu, which helps to organise relevant pages beneath them.

How many Top-level headings should I have?
We recommend that you limit the number of Top-level headings on your website to 6-7. This will streamline navigation, making it easier for parents to find the information they need quickly and efficiently. By keeping the menu concise, we can improve the user experience for all visitors.
