Looking for Help: Creating a Highlighted Menu Bar with 20+ Items in Shopify

Topic summary

Goal: implement a horizontal, highlighted menu bar in a Shopify store that can display 20+ items.

Requirements:

  • Each item should be visually distinct (e.g., different background colors or hover effects).
  • Responsive behavior on mobile, ideally expandable/collapsible to maintain usability.

Placement: under the homepage slideshow and above the first featured collection (clarified after a question).

Context: Standard Shopify menus may not scale well to 20+ highlighted items. The requester has intermediate coding skills and is open to custom code, theme customizations, or apps.

Reference: An attached image showing the desired design is central to understanding the layout and styling.

Latest update: On 14/04/24, the requester followed up asking for progress and a timeline for the highlight menu implementation.

Outcome: No solutions, code, or app recommendations have been provided yet. No decisions or action items recorded. The discussion remains open with key questions on approach and delivery timeline unanswered.
