Top 20 CSS Navigation Menus
A good user flow contributes enormously to a successful website. The content, positioning and appearance should therefore be well thought out. Here you will find some inspirations for your own navigation menu!
After the Top 20 CSS Buttons were very well received by you and I got a lot of positive feedback, here is the continuation: Top 20 CSS Navigation Menus!
Sometimes there are “normal” menus in this list, for a very simple reason: Usability comes first and then appearance. Even “normal” menu bars can look very chic. With the right effects and animations they also become a real eye-catcher.
The same applies to mobile representations, also called “hamburgers”. Both desktop and mobile menus are available.
All navigation menus are published on codepen.io and are not mine. Therefore the author is always linked. Let’s go!
