The Find Parts megamenu — full build
The nav above is live. Find Parts opens the full-bleed megamenu (the showpiece from the demo, now wired to the complete taxonomy). Equipment, Chemicals & Supplies, Service, and Resources open lighter compact dropdowns. About is a plain link. Every node maps to the recommended sitemap.
Six intent-led sections
Per the sitemap recommendations, the nav drops from the old three-door taxonomy to six intent-led sections. Find Parts comes first because it's the dominant job (32% of sessions; search-to-browse ratio of 9.8×).
| Section | Menu type | Production URL | What's inside |
|---|---|---|---|
| Find Parts | Megamenu | /parts/ | Find by machine (featured), by brand, by category (5 groups), + promoted strip |
| Equipment | Dropdown | /equipment/ | By type (8), shop & specials, browse-all |
| Chemicals & Supplies | Dropdown | /supplies/ | Chemicals (6), supplies (5), browse-all |
| Service | Dropdown | /service/ | Repair, PM, contracts, coverage, FIT, warranty |
| Resources | Dropdown | /resources/ | Diagrams, manuals, guides, training, blog, news |
| About | Link | /about/ | Single page — no dropdown |
Find Parts panel — taxonomy mapping
The featured megamenu maps directly to the sitemap's annotated Find Parts structure. Each column is a documented recommendation:
| Panel region | Sitemap ref | Maps to |
|---|---|---|
| ⓵ Find by machine (featured card) | [A1] | /parts/by-machine/{brand}/{model}/ — the model-lookup intercept. 100% of organic browse sessions go brand→model. |
| ⓶ By brand | [A2] | /parts/by-brand/{brand}/ — secondary path. Tennant links to the live model landing. |
| ⓷ By category (5 groups) | [A3] | /parts/by-category/ — Consumables, Drive & Motion, Electrical, Power, Structural. Surfaces all 40+ categories (old nav showed 16). |
| Promoted: Parts diagrams | [A5] | /parts/diagrams/ — promoted from orphan page (77 organic sessions, zero nav promotion) into the nav. |
| Promoted: Aftermarket parts | [A6] | /parts/aftermarket/ — OEM-vs-aftermarket as a first-class path for price-conscious buyers. |
| Promoted: Bulk reorder | [F3] | /account/reorder-pad/ — B2B CSV/SKU entry, surfaced from the parts context. |
Interaction model
- Click-open, not hover. Panels open on click/tap — accessible, predictable, and identical across desktop and touch. No hover-intent timers, no accidental opens.
- One panel at a time. Opening any section closes the others. Click outside or press
Escto close. - Find Parts is full-bleed; the rest are anchored dropdowns. This visual hierarchy signals that Find Parts is the primary job and the others are lighter.
- Mobile = the same panels as an accordion. The hamburger drawer renders each section as a full-width row; tapping expands its panel inline directly beneath it. Two taps max to any leaf (roadmap item 10). The sticky header's search bar serves as the pinned search.
- Keyboard + ARIA. Triggers are real
<button>s witharia-expanded/aria-controls; panels arerole="region"with descriptive labels.
Signed-in personalization
On the signed-in homepage, the Find by Machine featured card swaps the "save your fleet" prompt for the buyer's actual registered fleet (Tennant T500e, Nilfisk SC6500, Kärcher B 150 R) — each links straight to its compatible parts. The bulk-reorder promoted card points at the account reorder pad. Everything else in the nav is identical.
