What justifies a full page modal navigation?
What arguments support having a full page modal acting as a hub that takes you to different actions / pages that are linked together?
For instance imagine an app where you manage recipes, you would have a button opening a modal menu with:
- View list of recipes
- Add a new recipe
- View list of ingredients
- Add an ingredient
- Manage food orders
- Create a new food order
- Manage food preferences
This is completely fake.
My client tends to want modals everywhere. I get the feeling this initial button should rather lead to a "space" on the website about all the above, with a vertical menu giving you access to all these things.
I'm struggling to find arguments one way or the other. Any thoughts?
