When you start thinking about hiring a company like Dance Studio Web Designs to build a website for you, you will likely be most concerned with the aesthetics and content of your site. You want it to look great, reflect your unique position in the market, and provide engaging content that pleases your audience (i.e. your potential customers). Chances are, the appearance and functionality of your Navigation Bar are probably resting somewhere against the back wall of your brain. We’re here to tell you that a well-designed and effectively used navigation bar can be one of the most important – if not the most glamorous – aspects of a great dance studio web design.

A Navigation Bar is a banner across the top or side of your web page that allows your students and parents to find all the content on your site. If your navigation is clean and organized, chances are that it will reflect well on your dance studio overall, thereby increasing the likelihood that more parents will want to send their children to your studio.
