Dropdown menus and index pages serve different purposes in version 7.0, each with unique functionality and appearance on your site.

Dropdown Menus

• Create dropdown navigation menus
• Available in all templates
• Organize related pages without creating new pages
• Style and functionality vary by template
• Some templates open on hover, others on click
• May include customizable colors, fonts, and icons

Index Pages

• Create a single landing page displaying content from multiple pages
• Available in select templates
• Display content as image grids, stacked sections, or slideshows
• Ideal for portfolios, galleries, or project collections
• Can serve as a home page
• Cannot be nested within dropdown menus or other index pages

Key Limitations

• Index pages cannot be placed within dropdown options
• Dropdown options cannot be placed within index pages
• Template changes may convert index pages to dropdown menus and vice versa

When to Use Each

• Use dropdown menus for organizing navigation and grouping related pages
• Use index pages for creating content-rich landing pages and visual overviews
• Test both options to determine the best fit for your site structure

Remember that switching templates may affect how these features function, so consider your template choice carefully when planning your site structure.
