Exposed Mobile Navigation

Code Toolkit
Written By Squarestylist Support

What You'll Create

A mobile navigation that shows full desktop-style links instead of the hamburger menu. Navigation items display evenly across the mobile header with smooth transitions when scrolling.

The Problem It Solves

Squarespace automatically switches to a hamburger menu on mobile, hiding your main navigation. When you want visitors to see all navigation options immediately without tapping a menu button, you need CSS to expose the desktop navigation on mobile.

Perfect For

Simple navigation sites, One-page sites, Sites with few menu items, Mobile-first designs, Quick-access navigation

What Makes This Different

This technique hides the mobile header display and shows the desktop navigation with flexbox layout. Includes scroll-based shrinking animation where the logo minimizes as you scroll down. Uses pointer:coarse media query for touch device detection.
