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.
@jrp Yes and I have done that many times in the past. My main point is I don't think hamburger menus are needed at all; javascript or not.
This also tackles: How would you propose to keep things accessible for people who can't afford to always run the newest devices with bigger screens otherwise? (not a polemic question, really)
Simplest approach:
1. A link in the header of the page set as "Links" or "Pages" etc.
2. User clicks this and jumps down to the bottom of the page where all site links are listed
3. At the top of the page links list is a "back to top"
There are zero downsides to this approach besides hurting designers' pride.
