This is why Croma comes complete with an easy Menu Builder giving you the ultimate flexibility
for creating perfect headers and a menu system that works for both you and your users.

comes to translation today.
Rest assured, Croma is the solution and all of this is possible with no coding required on your
part.
What are you waiting for?

Another great inclusion with Croma is the simple solution to add a ‘hot link’ to any page,
anywhere.

page or section to another really quickly with the click of a button, link or icon.
