How to Make Your Navigation Bar Stick as Users Scroll

Are visitors scrolling past your menu and missing key pages? A sticky (or “floating”) navigation bar stays visible at the top of the screen as people scroll — making it easy to jump to your blog, services, or contact page anytime. With Summrly, you can enable this feature in one click.

Why a Content-First Website Solves This

When your site is built around a topic, every visitor should be able to explore related content effortlessly. A sticky nav bar improves usability and reduces bounce rate by keeping your most important links always accessible — especially on long-form posts or mobile devices.
