Give visitors a quick way to reach you, follow you or move around the page, without hunting through your menu. Simple Floating Menu adds a sticky bar of icon buttons that stays on screen as people scroll: call, WhatsApp, email, your social profiles, back to top, your shop, or any link you like.

Pick a ready made design, choose your icons, colours and position, and switch it on. No code, and it works alongside any theme.

Great for

  • Contact buttons — call, WhatsApp, email or your contact page, one tap away on every page
  • Social profiles — Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn and more, always in view
  • One page sites — buttons that scroll to a section, back to the top or down to the bottom
  • Shops — quick links to the cart, the account page or today’s offer
  • Campaigns — a bar on your landing pages only, and nowhere else

Everything in the free version

Buttons that look the part

  • 5 icon packs with more than 12,000 icons
  • 9 button shapes, with your own button size, icon size and shadow
  • Colour every button at once, or give any button its own colours, with hover colours for buttons, icons and tooltips
  • Tooltips in any of 1,400+ Google fonts with full typography settings, or turned off per button

Right where you want them

  • 8 positions on the screen, with your own offsets
  • Run a bar down the side of the screen or across it
  • Show a menu on every page, or only on the pages, posts, archives, search results or 404 page you choose, for menus built on the Floating Menus screen

Quick to build

  • Three ready made designs to start from, each with a preview
  • Unlimited buttons, and as many menus as you like on one site
  • A builder screen with the button list and the selected button’s settings side by side
  • A live preview beside the settings on the Simple Floating Menu screen, so you see every change as you make it
  • Buttons that open a link in the same tab or a new one, or scroll to a section, the top or the bottom
  • A label, a title attribute and CSS classes on any button
  • Switch a menu off and on again without losing your setup
  • Export, import and duplicate a menu to move it between sites

Good to know

  • Serve Google fonts from your own server, to help with GDPR
  • A shortcut to the settings on the menu itself, shown to administrators only
  • Hooks for developers, and translation ready

Two ways to build a menu

The Floating Menus screen. Open Simple Floating Menu > Floating Menus and build as many separate bars as you like, each with its own buttons, design and pages to appear on. Start from one of the three ready made designs and change whatever you want.

The Simple Floating Menu screen. Build one bar with a live preview beside it, so you see every change as you make it.

Both run on the same front end and can be used together.
