Hello readers, Today in this blog you'll learn how to create an Animated Sidebar Menu or Side Navigation Menu using only HTML & CSS.
A website sidebar is a unique, creative, and useful component placed to the right or left of a webpage's primary content area. They're commonly used to display several types of additional information for users, such as navigational links to key pages. A sidebar can be used to encourage your visitors and content viewers to read the more detailed main article.
In this program [Side Navigation Menu], at first, on the webpage, there is only a menu button on the top left corner and when you click on that button, then the sidebar appears with sliding from the left side. In this sidebar, there are some navigation links with their icons, and when you hover on the particular link there is shown a box-shadow effect on the background which makes it more attractive. There are also some social media icons on the bottom of the sidebar.
If you're feeling difficult to understand what I am saying. You can try Own with below code copy and paste it.
