To help in visualizing a new website project we begin by developing the menu navigation and establishing a site map based on data collected from our client. Setting up a menu in Joomla! is fairly straight forward, but there is a way we've found to be great at doing so very efficiently.

We begin by setting up a filler article. A filler article is simply loren ipsum or similar added to a menu item in order to ensure your navigation is functioning correctly. We came across a handy extension for creating filler articles which can be downloaded here: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/news-production/content-management/2870.
