Smashing Magazine has become one of my favorite stopping points on the web to find quick and great information as a web designer. Today’s venture served no different as I was greeted with a great list of modern solutions for CSS Based Navigation Menus.

Navigation is one of the, if not the, most important elements in web design. Your navigation is used more often than any other portion of the site. Not to mention that the entry to the other pages on your site mostly relies on the ease of use of your navigation menu(s).

So how do other designers and websites attack the task of creating a navigation area that is both attractive and usable?

Well, Smashing Magazine has put together another great list. This time you’ll find 53 beautiful and user-friendly navigation menus that are using basic CSS styling (of course some can expect a little Javascript thrown in for cross-browser… ahem IE… support).

One important note to mention is that unfortunately all of the 53 menus are not purely CSS. Some are DHTML and Javascript based menus that were included by mistake.
