Install any application performance monitoring software like New Relic and compare your server response times before and after installing this add-on. Even without it’s cache, it’s the single most detrimental thing you could ever do to your project if you care about page load time. BS on reviews.

NavEE is a great plug-in, it’s so very flexible and powerful, I can’t see needing anything else. I always try to select plug-ins that are well supported by the developer, and Michael at The Outfit is the personification of this.  He goes above and beyond to provide stellar support.

Amazing plugin - what makes this really special is all the config happens withing the admin.  the actual single and pair tags are very simple and their simplicity is what makes this work so well.  I had a client who needed to create very complex page structures and NavEE absolutely nailed it.

This is one of my favorite add-ons for creating those next to impossible to create navigations. Michael is always very quick to help and always adds features when you ask. Not many other devs are like that and I really appreciate that from him especially when support is so great too!

Great add-on and the support top notch!! This really saved me on a project. The new way we started doing SEO at my agency made it so that every page URL starts at the root of the domain. This allowed me output the nav with the URLs optimized for SEO and keep the hierarchy according to the sitemap.

Easy to use. A great tool when you need something beyond the default EE or Structure nav.

Like other reviewers, I’ve been most impressed by Michael’s support. Rather than just telling me it couldn’t be done, he added a variable, sent me a beta, and provided me with sample code. Outstanding!

This Add-on is amazing if you need an easy to use, yet powerful navigation tool. Also, the customer service was AMAZING! Michael actually wrote new parameters to help me accomplish what i needed with this module, I’ve never seen better support anywhere else. I’ll keep using his products for life!

NavEE is a great addon. Navigation selection as a field-type is great. Great for custom menus that don’t conform to standard parent-child relationship.

The add-on itself is super useful, but what really prompted me to leave a review is how helpful Michael was with support. Thanks to his help I was able to get NavEE working perfectly with an existing (and pretty idiosyncratic) navigation structure. Great add-on and great support!!

I kept hearing how great NavEE was, so I finally decided I had to try this myself. Gone are the days of using hard coded menus or trying to come up with a dynamic menu using the entries tag. NavEE makes creating menus a breeze and is now a must have when I build sites. Simply put, an Awesome add-on!

Everyone else has told you what a great module it is, so I’ll just add that the developer is just as awesome. I made a request just a few days ago about the possibility of implementing access keys, and bang! There they are. Great support from a company that clearly values its customers needs.

I needed a way to give a client control of his menus.  Based on the reviews and feedback, I chose NavEE.  It was easy for my client to use as it allowed him to link his entries as well as his custom pages.  Even external links were simple.  And I found the support second to none!  HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

It’s polished, well thought out, and intuitive interface makes NavEE perfect for both developers and clients alike. It’s extremely scalable, even on large sites, and performs like a champ. The developer is vigilante in providing personal support and is very accepting of feedback. Yes, you need this.

I’ve tried other EE navigation ad-ons, and NavEE stands out for what i need. It’s powerful because it’s so flexible to work with my existing nav scripts. With a new parameter tags, I could output my nav menu anyway i want. The module is very stable, no bugs. And the price is just right.

I normally use Structure but had to use this for a multi-lingual Structure site before they added more support.

NavEE did the job.

Beautifully made add-on by someone who clearly loves their work. I threw myself straight in the deep end with some complicated split navigation and Booyant dived in to help me out in an instant. This is now a must-have add on, on a par with Wygwam for client-managed sites.

The EE Designer’s best friend for navigation?

So simple to get implemented and the NavEE Custom ability is ridiculously powerful, like REALLY!

Couple a great product with fantastic customer support direct from the creator, NavEE is so worth the money and recommendations to everyone working in EE

Great Add-on, easy to install and to configure. Builds any type of navigation you want with ease.

And if you want a special navigation, like we were in need of, just ask. Michael finds a solution and, in our case, extends the add-on with the necessary features – an absolutely outstanding support!

Plus, if you do have a question, the support from Booyant is the best around.

This module has a slick looking, stress free installation and template integration. And the support is so heart-breakingly professional. Get this one folks and you will save huge amount of time to fiddle around with the idea of menu/navigation creation only based on EE.

This is turning into perfection for me.

I always believed that content should not dictate a menu structure and this module lets you create menus however you wish. No restrictions or straight jacketed cookie cutter approach.

It’s now a must have in my EE2 arsenal.

This is the best damn module ever! Michael is great and will bend over backwards to help with tech issues. The tool itself will save huge amounts of development time. Best $35 you could spend if you’re developing a fairly traditional site using expression engine. A+++++

NavEE does what it promises, is supereasy to work with and the guys at Booyant are friendly, fast and competent.

I would never ever again build a Navigation or a breadcrumb trail without nNavEE.

My favorite: The drag&drop; reordering of nav items.

This add-on is an All-Star!  In a matter of minutes, I coded my main navigation, swam through a few examples, and had it working on my test site.  What was even more impressive was the amount of code I got rid of to facilitate what NavEE now does for me.  Outstanding!

Using NavEE as a breadcrumbs and sitemap generator and it works perfectly. At first it was missing some key features but the good people from Booyant responded to some of of my ideas with a new release with the features integrated. Can’t say enough good things about it, NavEE’s worth every penny!

Awesome module: a ‘must have’ if you need a editable menu structure. I never understood why there were so little solutions for building menu structures, but that has changed now!
