At DEVCON 2025, I will be delivering a hands-on session focused on building consistent, accessible, and fully responsive navigation using Liferay’s Responsive Menu Fragments. The session is designed to give you practical techniques you can apply immediately in real projects, whether you’re designing multi-site layouts, or improving navigation across devices.

Session Details

When: Wednesday 19 November – 13:50 CET

Where: Main Stage

What the Session Covers

The session focuses on guidance you can immediately apply to your Liferay projects:

1. Installing the Responsive Menu Fragments

How to obtain them from the Liferay Marketplace and prepare your environment.

2. Integrating Menus into Master Pages

Configuring fragments for consistent navigation across pages and layouts.

3. Customising Behaviour and Styling

Breakpoints, stickiness, menu alignment, logo handling, mobile interactions, and more.

4. Accessibility and Mobile Usability

Keyboard navigation, ARIA considerations, and patterns for reliable behaviour on small screens.

Why Responsive Menus Matter

 

Navigation is often a user’s first interaction with a Liferay site. If a menu doesn’t adapt well across devices, isn’t accessible, or behaves inconsistently, the overall experience suffers. The Responsive Menu Fragments provide a reusable, configurable foundation that improves quality while reducing build time.
