navigation

In this post, I'll outline a comparison of "sticky" methods to make website components stay on a page.

Sticky? What in the Sam Hill are you talking about?

I am not sure if you’ve heard, but every site needs some sticky components. At least, that seems like an on-going trend in web development. Just in case you haven’t run into this term before, sticky is the methodology of keeping a part of the site - possibly the navigation, header, or social share toolbar - from scrolling off the page, making it stick as the user scrolls down the page.

There are a lot of ways to handle navigation in general, because “best practices” for mobile are still being sorted out. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution because everyone has different needs for their site, and their menus are organized differently.
