Should I use a hamburger menu on desktop?
Hamburger menus might be a great solution for mobile devices with limited screen space, however, translating the same mobile-first design into your desktop without any changes may cause a bad user experience. Putting your most important pages in hidden navigation could sabotage them.
What does a hamburger menu do?
A hamburger menu is an icon used on a website and in apps that, when clicked or tapped, opens a side menu or navigation drawer. It's called a “hamburger menu” because it takes the form of the famous sandwich.
What is a hamburger on a computer screen?
A hamburger icon, in user interface (UI) design, is a navigational symbol consisting of three stacked horizontal lines that indicate the location of a hidden menu. The icon got its name from the fact that its structure resembles a burger in a bun in a simplified graphic.
How do you handle a hamburger menu?
The hamburger menu placement on the screen is the exact same as the default for the back button: the top left corner. When both icons are needed, you'll either have to squeeze both of them in next to each other, or sacrifice some usability by deleting one.
