Why Hyvä Menus Need Child Clarity
Large Hyvä catalogs can bury child categories behind weak menu patterns:
- Hidden children — shoppers never see mid-tree categories
- Mobile friction — nested menus hard to tap
- Custom theme drift — one-off menu hacks per client
- Performance fear — heavy mega-menus hurt CWV
