These days it’s quite normal to find the navigation of a website located across the top of the page horizontally. But, sometimes an additional vertical navigation is needed to draw attention to specific areas of the site. Other times a vertical navigational system may be the best solution for a given design.

In researching vertical navigation for a particular project, I ran across some amazing examples. Listed below are some of the best that I found.
