Hello readers, Today in this blog you’ll learn how to create a Minimal Dropdown Menu Bar with Submenu in HTML & CSS only. Previously I have shared a Minimal Navigation Menu Bar using CSS but there is no submenu or drop menu features. So now it’s time to create a Dropdown Menu.

A drop-down menu (sometimes called a pull-down menu or list) is a graphical control element designed to help visitors find specific pages, contents, or features on your website. Clicking or hovering on a top-level menu heading indicates a list of options to the dropdown menu.

At first, on the webpage, there is only a small menu bar or navbar, but when you clicked on that menu bar then the menu list is sliding down and visible. Those submenus or drop menus are hidden at first and when you clicked on their parent menu item then the drop list is shown. I’ve also added a simple hover color on the list as you can see in the image.

If you’re feeling difficult to understand what I am saying. You can watch a full video tutorial on this program (Minimal Drop-down Menu Bar with Submenu using HTML & CSS).

I’m sure that you know what is the dropdown menu and you may have seen it on different websites. A dropdown menu is a list of links or items that appears whenever the user clicks or hovers on it. Nowadays every website has a responsive navbar with a dropdown because with the help of dropdown we can easily organize listing by category and it is compulsory now for every website for the user conveniences.

In our Responsive Dropdown Menu Bar, as you can see in the preview image, there is a horizontal navbar with a dropdown. At first, the drop menu or submenu are hidden but when you hover on the particular nav link then the dropdown menu appears on the hovered link. There is visible a pretty cool box-shadow effect when you hover on the particular nav link.

This is a fully responsive navbar with a dropdown menu and it is created using only HTML & CSS. On the pc, this navbar is displayed horizontally but on mobile devices, this dropdown or navbar displayed vertically like a mobile menu. On mobile devices, you have to click on the nav link to show the dropdown menu but on pc, you have to hover.
