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. - -## What we want to emulate - -I think, like most designers, that the UI and web design work from the [Stripe](https://stripe.com/) 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: - -<b>They don't work if JavaScript is disabled.</b> - -But we can easily fix that. So enough chit-chat, let's rip-off their menu design and recreate it with only CSS! - -### Original ([Stripe Website](https://stripe.com)) - -<figure> - <img src="/public/images/stripe-default-menu.webp" alt="Stripe default menu"> - <figcaption>Stripe's default menu dropdown (using both CSS & JavaScript) (<a href="/public/images/stripe-default-menu.webp">direct link to image</a>)</figcaption> -</figure> - -### Our recreation ([CodePen Demo](https://codepen.io/bradleytaunt/full/ExjMjLL)) - -<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> - -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. - -## See it live in action - -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! - -[Live CodePen Example](https://codepen.io/bradleytaunt/pen/ExjMjLL) |
