The hamburger menu is a popular navigation design pattern used in web development to create a compact and easily accessible menu on mobile devices. In this tutorial, we will learn how to make a hamburger menu on Webflow, a powerful web design and development platform.
To begin with, let’s understand the basic structure of the hamburger menu. It consists of three horizontal lines stacked on top of each other, resembling a hamburger. When clicked or tapped, it expands to reveal the website’s navigation options.
Step 1: Create the Hamburger Icon
To create the hamburger icon, we will use HTML and CSS. First, let’s create an HTML element to hold our menu icon:

width: 100%;
height: 2px;
background-color: black;

To make our hamburger menu interactive, we need to write JavaScript code that toggles the visibility of the menu when the icon is clicked or tapped. Here’s how you can achieve this using jQuery:
“`html

In the above code snippet, we include jQuery by adding a `
