Why I Don't Like Drop Down Menus

• You probably don’t really have that much data and would be better served to simplify and streamline what you do have.
• It’s harder to hit a moving target. Two decisive clicks can actually be faster than precision targeting.
• Shove stuff in a drawer and you make it harder to find. Guide your users one click at a time, don’t force them think or look around.
• How is anyone supposed to know that there is something hiding and waiting to jump out from behind that other thing?
• First time visitors don’t have your entire website memorized like you do.
• All that Javascript and CSS is buggy and unpredictable which means more expensive to write and test.
• They’re kinda gimmicky and overused.
