What can I use instead of hamburger icon?
Simple Tab Bar
If you have several categories on your website or app, then tab bars can be a good option for you. It allows users to rapidly switch between the categories without having to search for the right one in a hamburger menu. The tab bar is thought of as one of the most straightforward navigation patterns.
Should you use hamburger menu on desktop?
Even if mobile design prefers using a hamburger menu, they are not so popular on the desktop, and it is not a common pattern for users. We recommend displaying a top-level navigation option or a combination navigation option for the desktop version, where there is plenty of screen real estate.
How do you make a hamburger menu accessible?
When the keyboard focus is positioned on the hamburger button, the menu can be displayed/hidden using the Spacebar and Enter keys. To do this, listen to the click event.
