A hamburger menu has an icon that consists of three or more horizontal parallel lines and leads users to a side-bar menu. It is a worldwide known icon so users usually have no problem in identifying it as a navigation symbol.
A hamburger menu is clean and takes very little place which makes it a perfect option for minimalistic websites and mobile versions. At the same time, it is less visible and does not provide any information about what is on the menu. Consequently, users may have a hard time finding the icon. Engagements are also lower since visitors do not see the value behind the lines.
