# Navbar

**Navbar** provides a structured navigation mechanism for **web applications** built using ONEWEB Page Designer.\
It allows users to easily move between pages using a consistent menu layout, improving usability and overall user experience.

Page Designer provides a **predefined Navbar Page Template for Web**, which can be customized and reused across pages.

***

### Create a Navbar Using the Navbar Template

#### Step 1: Create a New Navbar Page

1. Open **Create New Page**
2. Choose the **Navbar template** under Web page templates

The system generates a page layout specifically designed for navigation menus.

***

### Customize the Navbar Page

Once created, users can customize the Navbar page according to their website requirements, such as:

* Adding menu items
* Linking menu items to pages or URLs
* Styling navigation elements
* Adjusting layout and spacing

This Navbar page acts as a reusable navigation component.

***

### Use the Navbar in Your Pages

To apply the Navbar for navigation, it must be attached to the **Header page** of the application.

***

#### Step 2: Open Header Page

1. Open the **Header Page** in the application

***

#### Step 3: Open Page Settings

1. Open the **Page Settings** menu for the Header page

***

#### Step 4: Select Navbar for Header

1. In Page Settings, locate the **Menu List** option
2. Choose the created **Navbar page** from the drop‑down list
3. Select navbar position:
   * **Top**
   * **Bottom**

***

### Navbar Positioning

If the user selects **Bottom**, the Navbar appears below the header content, as shown below:

Selecting **Top** places the Navbar above the header content.

***

### Design Perspective

As part of **Web UX best practices**:

* Use Navbar for **primary navigation**
* Keep menu items concise and well‑organized
* Ensure consistent navigation across pages
* Avoid overcrowding the Navbar
* Test responsiveness across screen sizes

Using the Navbar template ensures **consistent, maintainable, and user‑friendly navigation** throughout the web application.
