Hello again!

A client asked me for a 100+ page website!!...
To explain better: on the first level of the menu there will be an item "Information" and then more than 100 sub-items.

Which menu do you recommend to use so there are no problems on mobile?

Is there any menu that use scrollbar?

I am not sure if a single menu if the right choice for that many pages.
Maybe you can use multiple menu with different categories?

It would be interesting (horrible, but it solves the problem) a menu with scroollbar like this site (https://www.geomembrana.com.br/) in the "Informations" item

Yes, I agree. A menu like that is way too long. I would try and see if there is a better way of categorizing the pages where you can have a general category that contains many subpages under it. You may have to use a secondary menu on the subpages to allow quick access to other subpages in that category. I personally don't think you need to include every page in a website in the menu itself.

Thanks!
Well, I think so too, but I need to convince the client of this, not to put all the pages on the menu...

As a customer, I would NEVER read through a list of 100 menu items. I have neither the time nor the patience. I would shop somewhere else. Does your client wish to attract business, or drive it away?

As suggested, you need to create categories of products, and possibly even sub categories, so that a customer could quickly navigate to a shorter list of products.

But of course, those are just MY thoughts.... :D

It is not an e-commerce.
These are pages to "attract Google", play with links, headings, meta tags... I don't agree with this type of "SEO work", but it's the order and I've already been paid, so...

A mega menu should do the trick.
