Dear product designers / web devs:

You should avoid hamburger menus on the mobile web 9/10 times.

1. No one implements them correctly
2. Most fail when JavaScript is disabled - leaving site navigation useless
3. A list of your navigation options works better for screen readers / keyboard movement

Just say “No” to hamburger menus.

I was thinking a lot about this previous post recently, so I wrote up a quick post:

"Stop Using Hamburger Menus"

I don't mind them too much on websites or even mobile, but I find them insulting and infuriating on the desktop.
