Anatomy

The primary navigation is divided into three zones where content can be placed. Each zone may include custom content and elements in certain zones will collapse or become hidden completely as breakpoints get smaller. It is required to use all three zones.

  • Zone 1 - Website logo
  • Zone 2 - Menus
  • Zone 3 - Utilities

Helpful tip

The website logo in Zone 1 should direct visitors to a home page when selected.
