Header, menus and footer

Connect your menus, build drop-downs and mega menus, set the logo position and edit the footer columns.

Menus

Menus are built in Shopify admin under Content → Menus. Kinetic shows Main menu in the header. On phones the menu opens in a slide-out drawer with up to three levels.

Drop-downs and mega menus

  • Drop-down: nest links one level under a top-level item, like Help → FAQ, Contact.
  • Mega menu: nest links two levels deep, like Women → Clothing → Dresses. The top item then opens a full-width panel, with each second-level link as a column heading.

To add image cards to a mega menu, go to Customize → Header → Add block → Menu promo. Type the top-level menu item's name (for example Women), then pick an image, heading, text and link. Up to two cards show per menu on large screens.

Header

In Customize, click Header to choose the menu, put the logo on the left or in the center, turn the sticky header on or off and pick its color scheme. The Announcement bar above it shows one short message with an optional link.

Footer

The footer has blocks for a brand column with social links, menu columns and an email signup. You can also show a country and language selector, payment icons, policy links and a small credit line.
