Universal CSS Navigation Menu
December 1, 2010 by Glynis Thomason
I have only just bought this product so watch this space for more comment as time goes by, but at the moment I think it is fabulous! It is so easy to understand and use and is very flexible. Not only that, but the end result is very professional looking, by far this best I have used and what really impresses me is the quality of the font on the menu - others (flash and php) that I have tried have a far inferior appearance to this one. And, of course, it is SEO friendly!
Only one slight problem was that when I use the Icon Finder more often than not Dreamweaver hangs - so make sure you save everything before using that.
Navigation menu - update
May 27, 2011 by Glynis Thomason
Okay, well here's my update. I have been using the IUniversal CSS Navigation Menu on my website which now has about 200 pages plus over a thousand pages on a forum. I use the menu as my main menu (including very successfully a mega menu) and also for our restaurants as part of the free bar & restaurant template and it is really fabulous. The code is good, clear and simple to edit. I have made edits for the forum menu and for the restaurant menu and have found it very easy to work with. Thanks
guys!
new to css beware
November 13, 2012 by rodrigo matt
I recently purchased Universal CSS Navigation Menu and beware that Yacht Service Demo example and others have to be manually built. They do not come ready. You have to use css and customize it.
there are some that are built, but not what i was expecting.
I hope this was helpful.
