Better Mobile Menu on Desktop

Code Toolkit
Written By Squarestylist Support

What You'll Create

A slide-out mobile menu style displayed on desktop screens. The hamburger menu triggers a side panel overlay with expandable folder navigation and hover-reveal submenus, bringing mobile UX conventions to desktop.

The Problem It Solves

Some designs call for hidden navigation that reveals on demand, even on desktop. Squarespace's mobile menu is restricted to smaller screens. This technique forces the mobile menu to appear on all screen sizes with enhanced styling and folder hover states.

Perfect For

Minimalist designs, Portfolio sites, Full-screen layouts, Creative agencies, Immersive experiences

What Makes This Different

This technique combines the Better Mobile Menu script with desktop-specific CSS to create a slide-out panel. Folder navigation shows on hover rather than click, and submenus appear alongside parent items. The menu panel width and styling are fully customizable.
