Why is it called a hamburger menu?
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.
Are hamburger menus accessible?
And while they require more work than a traditional list of links, hamburger menus can be implemented without creating usability issues or accessibility barriers.
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.
Should hamburger menu be on left or right?
So, which side is the best location for the hamburger menu icon? There is no definitive answer, and it depends on the specific website or app. However, the general consensus seems to be that the hamburger menu icon should be placed on the right side of the screen for most websites and apps.
