As many of us know, the initial 15-20 seconds of a new user’s visit to a web site will have a large impact on whether on not they are going to like or dislike the site, prompting them to decide whether they will stay or go. This means it’s vital that you follow usability rules with common design practices and layout your site, especially the navigation, in a style that the user can either learn easily or already understands. The biggest part of this process is developing a menu that is both easy to use and intuitive, as well as styling it to fit into your site’s design. Having said all that, an easy-to-use menu should not put the shackles on creativity.
In this article we’ve listed 45 jQuery plugins and tutorials that demonstrate not only how powerful jQuery is, but also how your website’s navigation can be both creative and usable. For most of these items, we’ve listed a “demo” link, except when the demo is on the same page as the tutorial or article itself.

Back in March, Jacob Nielsen made a surprising recommendation for using “mega drop-down menus,” saying that:
Big, two-dimensional drop-down panels group navigation options to eliminate scrolling and use typography, icons, and tooltips to explain the user’s choices.
I’ve seen these types of menus popping up more often around the web, usually on e-commerce websites.
Now that they are a more widely recognized design convention, I thought it would be useful to pull together some of the best examples into a mega drop-down menu design showcase.
