Public/Private Website Navigation

It looks like you’re using Bootstrap for the site navigation (both Public and Private). I’ve had a number of users struggle to notice or find it using a desktop browser. In the mobile app it looks great, but for classic desktop users, it can go unnoticed. I think a lot of our users also aren’t discovering content that we’re putting out there since they have to drill down to get to it (mystery nav).

A Troop-level setting could be established to change the hamburger icon to a horizontal or vertical visible navigation bar with a few Bootstrap CSS changes. I’ve been tracking usage with Google Analytics and most users skip the hamburger nav, check out the calendar and then email me later with questions that could have been resolved by reading the content buried beneath the nav.
