Free WordPress Floating Menu Plugin for Contact Buttons
Floating Menu Builder is a free WordPress floating menu plugin that adds a small floating button to your site. One tap opens a stack of round buttons for links, phone calls, email and back-to-top, so visitors can reach you from any page.
It’s lightweight, accessible and private: no icon fonts, no CDN, no tracking and no calls home.
Why add a floating contact menu
Visitors on phones rarely scroll back up to find your phone number. A floating menu keeps your most important actions in reach at all times, without covering your content or slowing the page down.
Who Floating Menu Builder is for
- Local businesses that want calls and emails one tap away
- Restaurants and shops that want a quick link to directions or menus
- Long-form sites that need a back-to-top button
What’s included in the free version
- Your own buttons, or reuse an existing WordPress menu from Appearance > Menus.
- Four corner positions with adjustable distance from the edge.
- Style it: colours, icon, shape, button size and spacing.
- Live preview for desktop and mobile while you edit.
- Toggle or always visible: an open/close button, or buttons that always show.
- Labels: as tooltips, always visible or for screen readers only.
- Bundled SVG icons with no external requests.
- Accessible: real buttons and links, keyboard support, Escape to close, visible focus and reduced-motion support.
- Lightweight: a few KB of plain JavaScript and CSS, loaded only where the menu shows.
- Setup wizard on first activation.
Tips for getting the most from Floating Menu Builder
Keep the menu short: three to five buttons work best, because too many choices slow people down. Put your most important action, usually a phone call, closest to the toggle. Use clear labels so screen reader users know where each button goes, and pick a corner that doesn’t cover your chat widget or cookie banner. Check the mobile preview, since most taps will come from phones.
