Hello GoodBarbers, today I am in a solving problem mood, good news right? ;)

I am surfing on Internet a lot, checking blogs, websites, news, social networks and everything I am interested on.
I noticed that many blogs have lots of content giving a lot of information with more than 5 menus and subcategories.
So, I thought it would be a good idea to write an article about it and let you know that it is not a problem for GoodBarber.
You can have all this content in your app ;)

The little story before was just a story to start the article, and because I am speaking writing a lot ;)

More seriously, in this article we'll give you all tips and information you need to easily create categories and subcategories but also keep your application clear.

## How to choose my navigation?

It's pretty simple, you have 2 choices: **tabBar** and **swipe**.

- Select **tabBar**, if you have **less than 5 sections**
- Select **swipe**, if you have **more than 5 sections**

## How can I integrate a menu and a subcategory in my app?

For example:
You have a menu in your website named "Address" and in this menu you have 5 more subcategories like: Paris, New York, San Francisco, Berlin and Roma. To add all those elements in your app, follow the steps below.

- First of all, go to the section Content in your back office and add an article section from either your **WordPress** or **WMaker** blog.
Tap all the informations needed (Website URL and API Key).

- Once it's done, go back to your article section and click on the link "**Advanced settings**".

In this menu, you can :
. integrate just one category. In this case, you only have to name your section "Blog" for example and select "All categories" in the drop-down menu.
. select in the drop-down menu the subcategories you want to use. Add more than one with the button +.

## Choose the good navigation mode for your subcategories

- Go to the menu Design > Global > Overall design - Multi-sections and select one of the 3 templates proposed.

If you have :
. less than 5 subcategories, select the mode Circle band (even if you can add more).
. more than 5 subcategories, we advise the mode list.
. the pop-up mode can be selected if you have more or less 5 categories, not too much.

- Don't forget to match the colour of the menu with the other pages of your application.

Now it's done :)
It was pretty easy right?

The only thing you have to keep in mind is to **be clear for your readers**.
So do not hesitate, test your app and check if it's clear and simple enough!

 **Have a good day GoodBarbers ;)**
