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 id="what-we-want-to-emulate">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 one problem with their current dropdown menus on their main website:</p> +<p>They don’t work if JavaScript is disabled.</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 id="original-stripe-website">Original (<a href="https://stripe.com">Stripe Website</a>)</h3> +<h3 id="our-recreation-codepen-demo">Our recreation (<a href="https://codepen.io/bradleytaunt/full/ExjMjLL">CodePen Demo</a>)</h3> +<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 id="see-it-live-in-action">See it live in action</h2> +<p>Load in the CodePen below and play around with the menu dropdown.
