    Hello!

    I am working on a proposal for a client and I can really use some help. :-/ They are asking for a main navigation menu that makes all sub-menus available with hover over one of the menu items.

    Example: http://www.nextgreatplace.com/

    I’m having a hard time finding a plugin or jquery/css code for this, so I’m trying to figure out where to turn for help – and to determine if I need to hire someone to code it from scratch.

    Has anyone worked with a menu like this before and/or know where to get the code for one?

    Thanks in advance. :-)

    You might be able to use Ubermenu and then just add the same parent page in the top level multiple times and just change the labels.

    Thank you so much, John! That looks really promising. I’m going to give it a whirl! :-)

    I spoke with someone at Ubermenu and they think that it’s not the best solution because theirs is a hierarchical menu and there’s probably a cleaner way to do it with CSS and JS. I just want to mention it in case anyone has any other ideas! If I get it custom-coded I think I’m looking at about $500 but it seems like something simple enough that there should be a plugin or something already out there. I’m just not sure where to look or what terms to search for at this point.
    Thanks again :)

    Thanks anitac! That’s not the functionality that I need, I’m afraid, but it is certainly a nice-looking menu. :-)

    Hi Tura!

    No, I didn’t find a ready-made solution, I’m afraid. If you end up locating one yourself, it’d be great to hear about it!

    Good luck.

    You could try the Mega Menu – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jquery-mega-menu/ or UberMenu – http://wpmegamenu.com/.

    Here’s a blog on WPMU on custom mega menus also – http://wpmu.org/create-highly-customized-and-beautiful-mega-menus-for-wordpress/.
