Setting Up Navigation

The navigation menu is generated automatically based on the entries in the Pages collection. The system supports a hierarchy up to one level deep (Parent > Child).

Basic Menu Items

To add a top-level link to the navigation menu, create a Markdown file in the pages directory and define the title and order in the frontmatter.

Creating Nested Menus (Dropdowns)

To create a dropdown menu or a nested section, follow these three steps:

1. Create a folder (e.g., About Us).
2. Create a “Parent” page: This must be a markdown file with the exact same title as the folder placed at the same level as the folder.
3. Add “Child” pages: Place individual markdown files inside the parent folder.

Note

The “Parent” page file acts as the anchor for the dropdown. If you add content (a body) to the Parent page, it will be ignored in favor of the nested child items.

Directory Structure Example

To achieve a “About Us” dropdown containing “Our Story” and “Leadership,” your file structure should look like this:

• Directorysrc/content-collections/pages/

  • about-us.md <— Parent Page (defines the menu link)
  • DirectoryAbout Us/ <— Parent Folder

    • our-story.md <— Child Page
    • leadership.md <— Child Page

Deployment Required

Changes to your site are not instant. Your site will automatically “redeploy” once every 24 hours. To see your changes immediately, you must trigger a manual deploy.
