Navigation

Responsive uses BU Navigation to manage where pages live on the site and whether they display in the navigation.

As you update your navigation, be thoughtful about how many and what sort of top navigation items you have. Each navigation item is a choice for users. Keep these choices logical, with clear and concise labels that tell users what to expect when they click to that page.

Avoid entering all uppercase or all lowercase labels in the navigation label (unless it is an editorial requirement, such as an acronym). Responsive and its child themes automatically handle upper- and lowercase text for styling purposes, so when you manually enter upper- or lowercase labels, it means that the theme can’t do its job. If you redesign your site or switch to a different theme, and you’ve manually entered upper- or lowercase labels, you will need to update each individual instance for the new theme to work correctly.

If you want to change this style in Responsive, check out Custom CSS, which allows you to use CSS to target navigation and make this change without affecting content.
