<p>The <strong>navigation</strong> module seeks to remedy the problems of vertical and horizontal navigation design paradigms, by combining the two for a better presentational effect. HTML5 navigational elements are at the heart of the module, allowing you to quickly build your navigation without complicated structures and hacks.</p>
<p><small>All examples showcased refer to the mini-default flavor, some class names and styles might differ based on the flavor you're using.</small></p>
<p>Menus and navigation are some of the most important elements for any website or web app and their design and ease-of-use are key factors that can determine a page's bounce rates. The <strong>navigation</strong> module takes a step back from all the complicated menu and navigation design paradigms of the modern web, like dropdown menus and hamburger buttons, and tries to reinvent the basics for page navigation using HTML5 elements (i.e. <code>header</code>, <code>nav</code> and <code>footer</code>) and make navigation fully accessible for screen readers. Instead of sticking to either horizontal navigation menus (headers) or vertical menus (sidebars), we opted to allow the use of both for different things. Header menus are designed to stand out and contain links to help users find new content, whereas vertical navigation aims to provide a more traditional navigation menu that maps out your website's structure. Finally, footers are also part of the <strong>navigation</strong> module, as they can often provide the user with useful information and/or links that are very important to enhancing their experience.</p><br>
<p>To customize the <strong>navigation</strong> module, duplicate an existing flavor file (we suggest you use the <code>mini-default.scss</code> flavor file) and use this page's variable tables and mixins as a reference to change only the values you need. Remember to compile your flavor file (not the module's partial file) using a Sass preprocessor (we highly recommend using <ahref="https://atom.io/packages/sass-autocompile">sass-autocompile</a> if you are working with <ahref="https://atom.io/">Atom</a>).</p><br>
<p>The <strong>navigation</strong> module contains definitions for styling the <code><header></code> element, along with its contents (logo and links).</p><br/>
