About this section

Floating Pill Navbar — Free Glass Header With Full-Screen Menu

Floating Pill Navbar: A modern floating header: a dark, frosted-glass pill that hovers a little below the top of the page, with the logo, centred links and a bright CTA. On small screens the hamburger opens a full-screen menu with large links that stagger in, the style made popular by AI and design-tool websites.

Floating Pill Navbar is the modern header you see on AI, design and developer product sites: a dark, frosted-glass pill that floats a little below the top of the page, with your logo, centred links and a bright button. It looks especially good over dark or image-heavy hero sections.

A full-screen mobile menu

On small screens the hamburger opens a full-screen overlay with large, bold links that stagger in with GSAP, plus a big call-to-action button. Esc closes it and returns focus, Tab stays inside, and tapping a link closes it, so it behaves like a native app menu.

Glass, in pure CSS

The pill uses backdrop-filter blur over a translucent surface colour from your theme, with a soft shadow. Change the surface and brand colours, or apply your brand kit, and the pill, links and button all follow. Upload your logo or use the icon-and-name mark.

Sticky by default

The bar stays in view as visitors scroll, and you can switch on hide-on-scroll-down for long pages. Without JavaScript, the links simply show inside the pill.

Export it

Download HTML, a ZIP, React or Vue with the menu script included, or fork into My Code. Pair it with the dark Centred Gradient Hero for a complete AI-product header.

How it’s different

How It’s Different From Other Free Section Templates

✎
Editable, not just copyable
Change text, links, images, colours and fonts in the browser before you export, instead of editing someone else’s code by hand.
◐
One theme for every section
Colours, fonts, radius and width are shared CSS variables, so every section you combine looks like one website.
⇲
Responsive by container
Container queries make each section adapt to its own width, in a full page, a column or a page builder.
✦
GSAP animation built in
Every section animates in with GSAP and ScrollTrigger, stays visible without JavaScript and respects reduced motion.
</>
HTML, React and Vue
Export a single HTML file, a ZIP with your images, a React component or a Vue component, or fork the code into My Code.
◍
Free, private, saved
No account and no watermark. Designs, uploaded images and fonts stay in your browser, with a backup file you can restore anywhere.
