Quick Overview
Mobile mega menu enables website owners to implement a responsive navigation system that adapts its menu layouts and behaviour for smaller screens.
The major steps of designing a mobile mega menu is: converting complex desktop menus into touch-friendly, collapsible structures (like hamburger menus) for a smooth, intuitive mobile experience.
Here are some key considerations of building mobile-friendly mega menu:
✅ Use larger, thumb-friendly padding on links and buttons.
✅ Replace multi-column grids with vertical accordions or slide-outs.
✅ Add clear submenu indicators (arrows or “+” icons).
✅ Avoid heavy media to keep mobile menus fast-loading.
✅ Brug Klik instead of Svæv for mobile triggers..
✅ Keep the Close button always visible and reachable.
✅ Test breakpoints so mobile mode activates before layout breaks.

And, set the Responsive Breakpoint som Mobile.
Step 5: Configure Mobile Menu Settings
Under Indhold tab, scroll down to Mobilmenuindstillinger to define the core behavior:

Check how your mega menu works in the mobile view. Especially, click on the submenus to test that they are revealing accurately. Another important step is checking your mega menu on a real mobile device that has a touch function.
