There are many innovations and inventions that provided such a vast platform for experiments and pieces of work that even after year the practicality did not fade. One of those is CSS3. This too has invited the mental faculties of web designers and developers to show their worth and on the same time claim their share in the fortunes. Though the list is quite large but mention of a few would suffice like animations, rounded corners, shadows, elements are can be shaped as per convenience and without colouring the element of burdensome on the canvas of work atmosphere.
The first thing that catches real attention of a visitor on a website is navigation. This is what provides basis for sound user experience. A CSS3 built website is to fare better than hutch porch photos, images, info-graphics etc in menus. This alone is capable of delivering goods and frees the users from jQuery, JavaScript and even Photoshop. This platform is of immense help to me and so it shall be for my peer. I just enjoy my coffee, sometimes a chilled cold drink with a slight touch of lemon, start groping with code editor of my choice and end up in a practical navigation menu.
Requisites
There are certain Dos before we get on to the first step. These are downloadable in zip format. As per my experience I would suggest you to lay your hands on Dark Denim. This is good tool to carve out subtle patterns. Google font will do extra ordinary for text and these can be obtained from renowned Droid Sans. Similarly, Iconic Icon Set will do for task centring Icon Font. This has been begotten by Some Random Dude. Lea Verou comes with –prefix-free that will serve the purpose for CSS3 JavaScript. After having these at one’s disposal we can start. One should progress step by step. The start should be with HTML , to be followed by nascent CSS and once finished with this elementary form of CSS one can move on to CSS3.
HTML
While busy in groping with CSS3 it will be apt to do some work regarding HTML, with an elementary type of HTML. Stay cool as it does not involve making of a full-fledged website.
Our first move will related to beget the menu. In one instance I had chosen 5 items for menu and 4 amongst those have sub-items as well. In following steps I carried out styling in elementary CSS.
The CSS
A denim pattern, originating from Subtle Pattern, will facilitate and make up a good start. Positioning the menu in centre should be better done with grid size of nine hundred dot gs (960.gs) based on it making of clearifx class. Ten pixel padding will be fine to make adequate white space on both sides i.e. left and right. Afterwards the position of navigation bar should be set to relative. This setting will be of good help later, in this building process. Now about top menu,, leave it hanging on left and decided relative regarding position. To be continued in Actualizing A Marvellous Menu In CSS3 Platform.
