Dynamic navigation

A website of a typical town has more than a thousand pages. Big cities have hundreds of thousands. Static menu systems are not positioned well to deal with such volumes of content. So, users get lost. We bring the best practices for search and content discovery, battle-tested by Netflix and Amazon, to the service of your town.
