Add a Mega Menu
Mega Menus (Multi Column Menu navigation) is a navigation menu which contain many customizable elements such as text, images, and video. The mega menu offers a broad range of possibilities and is very easy to configure. Mega Menus can accommodate much greater number of navigation links, as well as more complex menu structures.
