Creating CSS Menu Hover Effects
Created on September 23rd, 2017
CSS Menu Hover Effects look really nice and they are really easy to create. In this video we will show you how to create an awesome CSS Menu Hover Effect using the After and Before pseudo elements. As you hover over each menu item you will see that the before and after elements will animate from a width of 0 to 50% on each side causing a really nice hover effect.
Check out the Menu Hover Effects Demo that we create in the video, and below is the index.html and style.css file created in the video:
