> The biggest headache when coming across these menus on the web is the complete disregard for accessibility. It's not clear to me how a hamburger menu is, by itself, an accessibility issue. It can be implemented in a way that makes it inaccessible, sure. But, if properly labeled, etc., what is the intrinsic difference between a hamburger menu and a dropdown menu? > So instead of just whining about hamburger menus, I will actually offer up a solid replacement: sitemap footers. Simply place all your website/application links into the bottom footer and link directly to them from your header. Ha ha, no. Now I understand that the author is approaching this from a narrow perspective: they're thinking about only navigation links, and only on fairly simple websites. A complex website, or a web app that uses hamburger menus to hide less commonly used actions, could not follow this strategy.
