There are three site menu options available on Wix sites - horizontal, vertical, and in-page menus. You can customize each menu type's layout (such as the alignment and spacing) to suit your site's look, pages, and theme.
As well as adjusting the menu, you can also customize the layout of the items and text. Some of the available options include spacing between items, text alignment, and dropdown menu direction.
