You have to consider more than just the general opinion for this one. Reason being: if your targeted group of website visitors focuses upon an older generation you definitely want to go more towards usability. Same of course applies for inexperienced users.

Yet if you know that the demographical issue tends more towards a young group of web-experienced people (gender plays a major role also) you’ll be better off making menus available at the intro page.

Furthermore, you might consider responsive disclosure as a menu aspect, which only reveals certain menu points upon user action. This may be interesting if you have to have a lot of menu buttons but are stuck – for instance – with an older audience.

That is just one of the many issues involved in that matter. Give me a call if you need more.
