Currently, the right-side navigation menu in GoHighLevel reduces the effective workspace and creates a slightly crowded, less modern interface—especially for users working on complex tasks like automation, funnels, or CRM management.
I propose a more modern, focused UX approach by transitioning from a persistent sidebar navigation to a single-app, full-width workspace model.
How it would work:
Replace the sidebar with a top navigation dropdown (or switcher).
Users select the module they want to work in (e.g., Marketing, Contacts/CRM, Automations, Sites, etc.) from the top.
Once selected, the interface becomes a dedicated, full-screen workspace for that module only.
All relevant sub-features for that module are displayed within this focused environment.
Example:
Selecting “Marketing” → displays only marketing-related tools (campaigns, email builder, triggers, etc.)
Selecting “Contacts” → switches to a full CRM-focused interface
Selecting “Sites” → opens a distraction-free funnel/website builder workspace
Benefits:
Maximized workspace: More horizontal space for builders, dashboards, and data-heavy views
Cleaner UI: Reduces visual clutter and improves overall aesthetics
Modern feel: Aligns with current SaaS UX trends (modular, app-like experiences)
Better focus: Users stay within one context at a time, improving productivity
Scalability: Easier to expand features within each module without overwhelming the interface
Conclusion:
This shift from a sidebar-driven layout to a top-level app switcher with full-page modules would significantly modernize GoHighLevel’s UX, improve usability, and create a more focused, premium user experience.
