Navigation Comparison

Description

A common UX debate focuses on how best to present site navigation: the minimalist “hamburger” menu icon (often used on mobile) versus an always-visible horizontal navigation bar.

Which option do you prefer?

Hamburger Menu

A clean, minimal header with a logo on the left and a small, three-line "hamburger" icon on the right corner. No visible text links at the top—users must click or tap the hamburger icon to reveal the full navigation menu as a dropdown or side panel. This image emphasizes modern minimalism and reduces on-page clutter.

Visible Horizontal Navigation Bar

A header featuring the logo on the left and a clearly visible set of main navigation links (e.g., “Home,” “About,” “Services,” “Contact”) aligned across the top. Users can see their primary navigation options at a glance without any additional clicks or interactions. This image emphasizes immediate discoverability and transparency.
