Reorder my menu
Menu order is a quiet ranking of what matters on your site - and if “Shop” is hiding in fifth place, you’re telling visitors not to bother. On a bernard-hosted site you reorder it by listing the order you want.
The prompt
“Reorder my site menu to: [the order you want, e.g. Home, Shop, Gallery, About, Contact] - on every page the menu appears.”
Signed in, Get my prompt fills in your site for you. Otherwise press Copy and fill in the [bracketed] parts. First time? Connect your AI to bernard once: Use your own AI (opens in a new tab).
How it works
- Connect bernard to your AI (once). Log in to bernard, open your site, go to Use your own AI, and paste the setup prompt into your AI to connect it - a one-time setup.
- Paste it into your AI - ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, whichever you already use - then list the order you want, or use the prompt below.
- Approve. The AI sends back a preview link. Check the menu reads in the right order, press Approve, and it’s live.
The menu lives on every page, and the AI updates them all in one change - so the order is consistent wherever a visitor lands. If one page’s menu has already drifted out of step with the rest, sort that first - see Make the header match on every page.
Questions people ask
- How do I change the order of my website menu?
- If your site is hosted with bernard, tell the AI you already use - ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini - the order you want. It rearranges the menu on every page of your site, and shows you a preview to approve before anything goes live.
- What order should a website menu be in?
- Home first, the thing you most want visitors to do next - usually your shop or gallery - second, and Contact last, where people expect it. Put the page that earns you money near the front.
- What if the new order doesn’t feel right?
- Reject the preview and describe a different order - nothing is published until you press Approve. And bernard keeps a full year of history, so even an approved change can be put back.
