Basic information
The latest Pangea website navigation is designed to be clean, light, and highly intuitive. This applies regardless of which device is used to access your site. Since the majority of site traffic now comes through mobile devices, recent improvements have focused on enhancing the experience for our mobile users.
This article explains how to enable and configure the different navigation elements for your site.
Action bar
The action bar includes a set of buttons that open high-interest pages on your site (such as podcasts and multimedia content). On desktop, the action bar appears in the top menu.
On mobile, the action bar appears at the bottom of the screen, where it is easily accessible with the thumb.
The buttons in the action bar are configured individually for every site. To update the action bar for your site, contact Pangea Customer Care.
Live button
If your site regularly streams live audio / video content, we recommend including a Live button in the action bar. The Live button takes visitors directly to the live page for your site.
The Live button has two possible states:
- Active: The button is red to show that live content is currently available.
- Inactive: The button is blue / orange to show that no live content is currently available. Visitors can still hit the button to check the schedule and access recorded content.
Your site might have multiple tubes for live content. If live content is currently available via more than one tube, visitors can choose which content they want to consume after hitting the Live button.
To add a Live button for your site, contact Pangea Customer Care.
Primary navigation
The Primary navigation provides an overview of your site structure and lets visitors quickly access specific pages. On the public site, visitors can open the Primary navigation from any page by hitting the ≡ (three lines) button.
You can manage the items that appear in the Primary navigation via Pangea CMS. Go to Settings > Navigation Menu > Primary Navigation.
For detailed information, see the following article:
Sub navigation on Sections and Infopages
A Sub navigation is a collection of links organized horizontally that is displayed below the site header. This provides quick access to key pages. A Sub navigation might be included on any Section or Infopage. This includes your homepage, which is a Section page.
Go to Settings > Navigation Menu > Sub Navigation to manage Sub navigations from Pangea CMS.
After you create a Sub navigation, the Sub navigation is not displayed on the public site until you manually add it to at least one page. A single Sub navigation can be displayed on one page or multiple pages. For detailed information about creating and managing Sub navigations, see the following article:
Footer navigation
The Footer navigation is displayed at the bottom of every page on your site. It typically includes links to Infopages that are not regularly updated (such as your About and Contact us pages).
You can manage the items that appear in the Footer navigation via Pangea CMS. Go to Settings > Navigation Menu > Footer Navigation.
For detailed information, see the following article:
Follow us navigation
The Footer navigation and Primary navigation include Follow us buttons for social media platforms. Services cannot update these buttons manually from Pangea CMS. Contact Pangea Customer Care to request updates to the Follow us navigation.
