Hi Simplero team,
I’d love to request a feature that would significantly improve navigation, usability, and scalability for content-rich Simplero sites.
Please add the option to enable dual navigation menus on sites:
  • A primary top navigation menu (global navigation)
  • A secondary left-side menu (sidebar) for contextual or content-specific navigation
This structure is already used successfully by platforms such as Mighty Networks, Kajabi, Circle, and other modern learning and community platforms.
Why this matters: As Simplero sites grow — with multiple programs, memberships, libraries, blog posts, and resources — navigation becomes increasingly challenging for users.
A dual-menu system would allow:
  • Clear separation between global navigation (Home, Programs, Community, About, Account)
  • And contextual navigation (modules, lessons, categories, resources, internal sections)
  • Reduced cognitive load and overwhelm for users
  • Faster access to content without excessive scrolling
  • A much better experience on desktop and tablet, especially for educational platforms
Suggested implementation
  • Toggle to enable/disable sidebar menu per site or per page
  • Ability to choose what appears in the sidebar:
  • Page sections
  • Course modules
  • Custom links
  • Sticky sidebar option
  • Responsive behavior (collapsible sidebar on mobile)
This feature would make Simplero significantly more competitive for creators running complex educational ecosystems, certifications, and long-term memberships, while improving clarity and user experience for students and members.
Thank you for considering this request — I truly believe it would add a lot of value to the platform.
Warm regards,
Elsa
