Centering Your Logo in the Menu on Wix
As a Wix website designer, you know that creating visually appealing and user-friendly navigation is crucial for any website. One common design request is placing the logo in the middle of the menu. This sleek and modern look can enhance your site's aesthetics and brand identity. In this post, we'll guide you through the steps to achieve this effect using the Advanced Menu settings in Wix Editor.
Step-by-Step Guide to Centering Your Logo in the Menu
Step 1: Add Two Horizontal Menu Elements
First, add two horizontal menu elements to your Wix site. These will be placed on either side of your logo. To do this:
Go to the Wix Editor and click the “+ Add” button.
Select “Menu” from the list of elements.
Choose a horizontal menu style and add it to your site.
Repeat the process to add a second horizontal menu.
Step 2: Enable Advanced Menu Settings
Next, you need to enable the Advanced Menu settings. This feature allows you to customize the menu items individually, giving you the flexibility to position your logo between the two menus. Follow these steps:
Click on one of the horizontal menus to select it.
Click the gear icon (settings) that appears.
In the menu settings, toggle on “Advanced Menu.”
Repeat this for the second menu.
Step 3: Customize Your Menus
With Advanced Menu enabled you can now add menu items to each of the two menus without them auto-populating from the pages panel. This is how you can manage the left and right menu items separately:
Click on the first menu and add the items you want to appear on the left side of your logo.
Click on the second menu and add the items you want to appear on the right side of your logo.
Step 4: Add Your Logo
Now that your menus are set up, it's time to add your logo in between them:
Click on the “+ Add” button again.
Select “Image” and upload your logo file.
Position your logo in the middle, between the two menus. You can use the drag-and-drop feature to align it perfectly.
Step 5: Adjust Spacing and Alignment
To ensure everything looks just right, you may need to adjust the spacing and alignment:
Click on each menu and adjust the spacing settings in the design tab.
Make sure your logo is centered between the two menus. You can use the alignment tools to help with this.
Step 6: Preview and Publish
Once you’re happy with the placement and alignment, preview your site to see how it looks. If everything is in order, go ahead and publish your site.
