NEW & IMPROVED MAIN MENU

As part of the first phase of development in our continuous improvement program, we have redesigned our main menu from the ground up. The objective was to make navigating the Codex website easier and more intuitive. Our team utilised data and analytics to design a menu that is both aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly.



Codex has developed a simple and effective dropdown menu system that makes it easier to use and navigate. Categories, subcategories and quick links are now just a hover away. This will reduce the time it takes to find your desired item.



The new menu adapts to your viewing environment, whether it's scrolling down the page or even viewing on a mobile phone.
