The final chosen design utilized a large, but not full-screen dropdown with a clean column structure. The mobile experience was similarly organized to maintain consistency, with an expanding sub-level approach.

As an exploration on the opposite side of the complexity spectrum, we considered a dramatically scaled-back version of the navigation to guide users toward key starting pages for the most important topics/sections, providing a deeper link list in the footer for the regular visitors who knew what they were looking for.

In response to the client's request, this concept displayed all available navigation options in a single view. However, we later convinced them that adopting such an approach would be overwhelming for desktop users and present several challenges in responsive development.
