  • Looks Great!

    First implementation was a bit challenging and it took some help from a couple of tutorials. But the end result was so good! It will be hard to settle for standard menus now.

  • Great (and best) mega menu for Block theme

    WOW Congratulations for your work, this plugin is the best mega menu / mobile menu for block theme

    DeepBlue

  • Must have for mega menu

    Simple and elegant solution to build awesome mega menus. The panels are separate template parts and can be linked to a menu item in one click. This works well! You don't need Ollie theme: it works on every block theme. Great job!

    Nonos

  • Thanks Mike! Great approach!

    It's a polished, well-architected plugin that delivers a smooth mega-menu/mobile menu experience out of the box. Performance feels snappy, and the UI is intuitive for non-technical users. Well done!
