Ecommerce developers with Magento

While searching for new version of WordPress breadcrumbs plugin, I stumbed upon something I needed for a long time. One of the issues I had with using WordPress as CMS was its frontsite navigation customization possibilities. Yes, we have default wp_list_pages() function with some options, and yes,  we have wp_list_cats() function with options on its own. But, what if I wanted to make sidebar navigation to be a combination of pages and categories?  This was the problem where I used a lot of custom coding in sidebar.php or header.php file. I found an easier methond with NAVT, WordPress Navigation List Plugin.

NAVT plugin is a tool that gives you full control of your website’s navigation. It gives you the ability to tailor unique site navigation from your pages and categories using a drag-and-drop interface, arrange the items within a group in any arbitrary order. Navigation groups may be composed of any combination of pages, categories, Authors, (Editors, Contributors, Subscribers), internal/external links and list dividers. If you have CSS skills, you may style this anyway you want.
