Q: Can search engines follow the menu items of the website design navigation?
A: You should generate search engine friendly code and install it on yourpage.
Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:
<div id="dmlinks"> <a href="menu_link1">menu_item_text1
<a href="menu_link2">menu_item_text2
...etc.
</div>
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).

Please, check it.
