Circle Menu: Visual Navigation That Engages

Display menu items with images in circular or square formats for intuitive browsing

Text-only navigation tells customers where they can go. Visual navigation shows them what they'll find. Circle menus combine both—creating an engaging entry point to your product categories.

The Power of Visual Browsing

Humans process images 60,000 times faster than text. A visual menu helps customers understand your product range instantly and find what interests them without reading. This is especially powerful for stores with distinct categories—fashion collections, home room types, product lines, or brand collaborations. Each circle becomes a preview of what's inside. Visual menus also reduce bounce rates by giving visitors an immediate sense of what you offer.
