+<h1>Stripe Menu Dropdowns (CSS)</h1>
+<p>2020-03-31</p>
+<p>In a previous article I wrote, <a href="blog/minimal-css-menu">Minimal CSS: Dropdown Menus</a>, I showed how you could create a basic menu dropdown with only 121 bytes of CSS. While this demo is great for simple text-based menu dropdowns, it doesn't show just how complex (in a good way) you can make CSS-only menus. So, let's do just that.</p>
+<h2>What we want to emulate</h2>
+<p>I think, like most designers, that the UI and web design work from the <a href="https://stripe.com/">Stripe</a> team is pretty fantastic. Their clean approach using subtle animations and minimal elements make for a pleasant experience. Unfortunately, there is <i>one problem</i> with their current dropdown menus on their main website:</p>
+<p><b>They don't work if JavaScript is disabled.</b></p>
+<p>But we can easily fix that. So enough chit-chat, let's rip-off their menu design and recreate it with only CSS!</p>
+<h3>Original (<a href="https://stripe.com">Stripe Website</a>)</h3>

+</figure></p>
+<h3>Our recreation (<a href="https://codepen.io/bradleytaunt/full/ExjMjLL">CodePen Demo</a>)</h3>
+<p><figure>
+ <img src="/public/images/stripe-recreated.webp" alt="Stripe menu recreated">
+ <figcaption>Our recreation with pure CSS (zero JavaScript) (<a href="/public/images/stripe-recreated.webp">direct link to image</a>)</figcaption>
+</figure></p>
+<p>Although our redesign is far from an exact replica (some subtle animations are missing which could always be added) - it's still impressive what you can do with some bare-bones CSS. Just something to keep in mind the next time you decide to reach for a JavaScript library to implement a similar design.</p>
+<h2>See it live in action</h2>
+<p>Load in the CodePen below and play around with the menu dropdown. Feel free to re-use, break. share or <i>steal</i> this for any and all purposes. Enjoy!</p>
