When to use it

Where Navbars earns its place

Reach for Navbars

  • A product whose top-level sections fit across one row
  • Landing pages where sign-up has to be reachable from any scroll position
  • App shells that need the account control in a fixed, predictable corner
  • When signed-out and signed-in visitors share a page but need different actions

Reach for something else

  • A section tree several levels deep: a sidebar or a tree view shows depth that a mega-menu flattens
  • Checkout and other one-way flows: strip the header back to the mark and an exit
  • Switching between views of the same page. That is what tabs say

Accessibility

06to keep

What the block ships with. Hold on to these as you make it yours.

  • Named controlsEvery icon-only button keeps a text label, so a screen reader can say what it does.
  • Keyboard firstEvery control is reachable with Tab, and its focus ring stays visible.
  • More than colourA state never rides on colour alone; a mark or a word goes with it.
  • Contrast holdsRetheme freely, but keep text at or above the contrast it ships with.
  • Calm motionFor visitors who ask for reduced motion, things simply appear.
  • Room to hitTargets stay at least 24px, with space between neighbours.
