To add a hamburger menu in all views, including the desktop view, using Webflow, follow these steps:

  1. Create a Nav Menu
  • Drag and drop a Navbar component onto your page from the Components panel.
  • Customize the appearance of the Navbar to your liking.
  • Add menu links by dragging and dropping Link components into the Navbar.
  1. Convert the Navbar into a Hamburger Menu
  • Select the Navbar on your canvas.
  • In the Settings panel on the right, click on the "Open Menu Button" dropdown menu.
  • Choose the "Open Menu" option.
  1. Customize the Hamburger Menu Button
  • With the Navbar still selected, navigate to the Style panel on the right.
  • Click on the "Open Menu Button" dropdown menu in the Settings section.
  • Choose the "Custom" option.
  • Customize the appearance of the button by editing the class styles under the "Open" state.
  1. Position the Hamburger Menu
  • In the Style panel, adjust the placement of the Navbar by setting the appropriate position (e.g., fixed, absolute, or sticky).
  • You can also adjust the position of other page elements if needed, to prevent them from overlapping with the menu.
  1. Test the Hamburger Menu
  • Preview your site to ensure that the hamburger menu appears on all devices, including desktop.
  • Click on the hamburger menu button to verify that it opens and displays the menu links correctly.

By following these steps, you can easily add a hamburger menu to your Webflow site that is visible in all views, including the desktop view.
