Nav Redesign: 9 → 5 Items

Problem

The desktop nav wraps to two rows because 9 items (6 primary + 3 utility) plus the logo and donate button don't fit in one line. The two-group split ("Gagnasíður" vs "Yfirlit og hjálp") adds visual complexity without helping users find what they need.

Decision: Data-driven single row

GoatCounter traffic data (late March 2026, ~5,500 pageviews) shows clear tiers:

Page	Traffic	Nav decision
/fullyrdingar	12%	Keep top-level
/malefni/*	~9% combined	Keep top-level
/umraedan	7%	Keep top-level
/raddirnar	3%	Move to Safnið hub
/heimildir	3%	Move to Safnið hub
/um-okkur	2%	Move to footer only
/thingraedur	<2%	Move to Safnið hub
/vikuyfirlit	<2% (spiky)	Remove from nav; surface in /nytt feed

New nav structure

ESB Vaktin    Nýtt  Fullyrðingar  Umræðan  Málefni  Safnið    [Styrkja]

5 items, one row, no groups, no wrapping.

Items kept top-level

Nýtt — the daily hook, "what's new" feed
Fullyrðingar — the core product (12% of traffic)
Umræðan — article analyses (7%)
Málefni — topic deep-dives (~9% combined across topic pages)

Items moved to Safnið hub (`/safnid/`)

Raddirnar — entity/speaker tracker (3%)
Heimildir — evidence database (3%)
Þingræður — parliamentary debate tracker (<2%)

Items removed from nav entirely

Vikuyfirlit — weekly editorial appears in /nytt feed when published; no permanent nav slot needed
Um síðuna — stays in footer (2% traffic doesn't justify a nav slot)

Safnið hub page (`/safnid/`)

A lightweight wayfinding page with live counts. Reuses data already computed in _data/home.js.

Layout: Single column (no wide_layout), max-width 720px.

Content:

Heading: "Safnið" in Fraunces Display
Deck: one sentence explaining this is the data collection behind ESBvaktin
Three link cards, each showing:
- Name (e.g. "Raddirnar")
- Count from home data (e.g. "506 aðilar")
- One-line description (e.g. "Einstaklingar, flokkar og stofnanir í umræðunni")
- Link to the tracker page
Cards use --bg-surface background, --rule border-bottom separator, no shadows. Editorial style consistent with /nytt anchor slab.

Data source: Reads from _data/home.js signal_stats (already computes counts for fullyrðingar, greiningar, raddir, heimildir, þingræður).

Accessibility

Navigation changes

`_data/navigation.js`

module.exports = {
  primary: [
    { label: "Nýtt", href: "/nytt/", match: "prefix" },
    { label: "Fullyrðingar", href: "/fullyrdingar/", match: "prefix" },
    { label: "Umræðan", href: "/umraedan/", match: "prefix" },
    { label: "Málefni", href: "/malefni/", match: "prefix" },
    { label: "Safnið", href: "/safnid/", match: "prefix" },
  ],
};

The utility group is removed entirely. One flat list.

`_includes/base.njk`

Remove the two-group structure (site-menu-group, site-menu-group--utility, nav-group-label). Replace with a single <ul> of primary items.

CSS cleanup

Remove .site-menu-group, .site-menu-group--utility, .nav-group-label, .nav-list--utility. Simplify .site-menu to a single flex row. The .nav-list--primary gap can increase slightly since there are fewer items.

Footer

Add "Um síðuna" to the footer links (already there). No other footer changes needed.

Mobile nav

The hamburger menu keeps all 5 items in a single list. No group labels needed. Simpler than before.

Files to create/modify

File	Action
`safnid/index.njk`	Create — Safnið hub page
`_data/navigation.js`	Modify — replace with 5-item flat list
`_includes/base.njk`	Modify — remove two-group nav structure
`assets/css/style.css`	Modify — remove utility nav CSS, simplify menu
`assets/js/mobile-nav.js`	Check — may need adjustment for single-group

Out of scope

No changes to the tracker pages themselves
No changes to /nytt or homepage content
No changes to footer beyond what's already there
Vikuyfirlit integration into /nytt feed is a separate task
