We were talking with a client earlier today about how tricky navigation menus can be, especially when product teams keep adding categories without revisiting how users actually _move through them_.

That’s what led us to build a new **Concept Page** focused on **Category Navigation Menus** , and how to test whether your menu structure helps users explore, or just leaves them guessing.

To bring it to life, we tested the **“We Made Too Much” category in Lululemon’s nav** , a high-traffic destination for deal-seekers on both mobile and desktop.

Here’s how the page performed:

Source: [Glare Framework - Category Navigation Menus Concept](https://glare.helio.app/measure/concepts/ecommerce/category-navigation-menu)

The results showed strong performance: users were able to locate the category quickly, use the menu without friction, and felt positive about the experience. That’s huge for an e-commerce brand where nav clarity directly impacts conversion.

The Concept Page outlines how we structured this test, what signals we surfaced, and how to apply the same UX metric stack to your own category-level nav patterns.

As someone who loves this category, this is cool to see and I love how Lululemon has this. What I find interesting here is how small shifts in labeling or grouping can have outsized impact on user confidence.
