Recently I have provided the Top 10 Best CSS Animations I hope that blog will also help you to boost your CSS skills.
A navigation bar is a section that is located at the top of a website and contains the logo, essential navigation links, and other items as needed for the website’s functionality. In essence, navigation facilitates user flow from one page to another.

The demonstration of this Navigation Bar is now available in the provided video instruction. You should try to design this navigation menu step-by-step by following the instructions in the provided video tutorial. This will make the process easier for you.
Navigation Bar in HTML CSS & JS | Video Tutorial
In the video tutorial for this responsive navigation bar, as you have seen. The top of the page had a navigation bar. The menu bar featured a logo, a few links, and a search bar.
