CSS menu navigation tools

Generate custom CSS menus in Dreamweaver

CSS menu tools

Add cross-browser compatible CSS menu navigation to any page or template in Dreamweaver. Choose a design preset and fully customize each menu level. Create your menu names manually, from a database or from the structure of your website.

This tool was once a stand-alone extension called CSS Menu Writer. Now it is integrated into our Dreamweaver extension, Design Extender.

Get a quick start on your menu design by choosing from the 16 included design presets to display horizontally or vertically; then select one of 12 color themes.

Further customize your design (optionally). If you want to use dropdown menus, you can even customize each level/sublevel of your menu or choose to let a level inherit the CSS of its parent level.

  • Customize your menu dimensions, margins and padding.
  • Customize the type properties for the menu's link states (link, visited, hover, active).
  • Customize the background and border properties for the menu's link states.

To create your menu names (Home, About, etc.), you can either type the words in manually, create the menu from your website's folder / file structure or create database-driven navigation. The menu tools work with any Dreamweaver recordset. They support unlimited sub-menu levels and offer full sort and filter capabilities.

You can save both your design and your content customizations as presets so that you can reuse either throughout any Dreamweaver website.

Design presets can be used when you create a site with Design Extender's site-building tools or whenever you want to use the menu again.
