Mixed Content Types Navigation Menu for Solid

A Solutions mega menu of four solution cards, some with badges, plus a webinar promo and a Start Building panel.

UI library: Ark UI

The bar shows Solutions. The panel mixes solution cards, including Developer Platform and Design System, some with Popular or New badges, a webinar with Watch Now, and Start Building with two buttons.

Mix links, a promo, and a signup when the header is doing more than navigation. Keep a single list in a Dropdown Menu when that is all you need. In Solid, Ark UI closes the open panel when you press Escape.

FAQ

How are the solution cards built?

Each card is a NavigationMenuLink with flex-col: the icon and an optional Badge on top, the title and description below.

Do the buttons navigate?

Not in the demo: Watch Now, Create Account and View Docs are Buttons with no handler. Link them to their pages.

What happens on narrow screens?

The panel is w-[800px] with max-w-full, so it never grows past the screen, but its columns get tight. Below the md breakpoint, show the same links in a Sheet or a Drawer instead.

How do the links use my router?

Each link is your router's link rendered through NavigationMenuLink, so it keeps the menu's styles and focus handling. NavigationMenuLink takes asChild, a function that renders your router's A with the props it gets.

How does the menu work from the keyboard?

Tab moves between the triggers and the links, Enter or Space opens a trigger's panel, and Escape closes it and returns focus to the trigger. The root is a nav, so screen readers list it as a navigation landmark.

How do I mark the current page?

Set aria-current="page" on the NavigationMenuLink that matches the route, and style it with the aria-[current=page]: variant.
