Design Ideas for Mobile Menus

One of the most difficult things to get right, both on desktop and mobile, is the navigation. That’s why it’s always helpful to have a bit of inspiration before designing a mobile menu.

This type of research helped me a while back when someone I know asked me to build a prototype for an app which allowed people to generate their own family tree template. The navigation for this thing was particularly challenging as it had multiple levels for siblings, parents and grandparents, so I was interested in some creative ideas.

Here are some mobile navigation ideas I gathered from Dribbble:
