We have talked a lot about about HTML5 and CSS3 in the past couple of months and today we continue the series of video tutorials with a new addition: creating a CSS3 dropdown menu from scratch. It is extremely easy to do, so don’t be scared.

The video is a bit longer, around 40 minutes, this is because I have gone into great detail explaining the process. Once you are able to do it on your own, 10-15 minutes should be enough for you to go through the necessary coding and create this dropdown menu.

We used to have to create dropdown menus with JavaScript, but today we only need to use CSS3. CSS3 loads faster than JavaScript, which is one of the many benefits of using CSS3 menus. However, because there is no dropdown function on mobile from a design and usability perspective using a CSS3 dropdown menu would be a mistake.
