The request
“We'd like to add more images to the mega menu. Right now it only supports one image per column. We want an image next to each category so the menu feels like a product showcase.”
The mega menu was text-heavy. For a visually driven brand, that was a missed opportunity.
The approach
We extended the mega menu to support an image per category, with the brand choosing images from the theme editor. The menu stays fast because images only load when the menu opens.
