Overview
Desktop Menu (Slide Out) is a Super Plugin from Ghost Plugins that shows a hamburger menu on every screen size that opens as a slide out panel with an overlay behind it. The menu slides in from the side over a tinted overlay, using the links from your normal Squarespace navigation. It is a one time $25 purchase with a multi-site licence, so you can use it on your own and client sites.
