About this section

Simple Sticky Navbar — Free Responsive Header Template

Simple Sticky Navbar: A clean, responsive site header: logo on the left, navigation links, a log-in link and a call-to-action button. It sticks to the top with a frosted blur and a shadow once you scroll, and on small screens the links fold into an accessible hamburger menu that animates open with GSAP.

Simple Sticky Navbar is a clean, dependable site header: your logo on the left, navigation links in the middle, and a log-in link with a call-to-action button on the right. It sticks to the top of the page with a frosted-glass blur, picks up a soft shadow once the visitor scrolls, and on small screens folds the links into a hamburger menu.

A mobile menu done properly

The hamburger turns into an X and opens a dropdown card where the links slide in one after another (GSAP). Pressing Esc closes it and returns focus to the button, Tab stays inside the open menu, and tapping outside or on a link closes it. Screen readers get the menu state (aria-expanded) and labels you can edit. Without JavaScript, the links simply show under the logo.

Sticky, or hide on scroll

Two switches control the behaviour: Sticky header keeps the bar at the top, and Hide on scroll down slides it away while reading and brings it back as soon as the visitor scrolls up, giving more room on small screens.

Your logo and links

Use the built-in icon-and-name mark or upload your logo (SVG or PNG). Links are an editable list of up to eight; reorder them and point them at page anchors or other pages. Leave the log-in text empty to hide it.

Export it

Download HTML, a ZIP, React or Vue (the menu script included), or fork into My Code. Put it above any hero section in the library and they share one theme.

Why use it

Why Use the Simple Sticky Navbar

☰
Accessible menu
Keyboard, screen-reader and focus handling are built in, which most navbar snippets skip.
📌
Always within reach
A sticky header keeps your main call to action one click away on long pages.
↕
Gets out of the way
Hide-on-scroll gives readers the whole screen and brings the menu back when they need it.

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.

Got questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The toggle is a real button with aria-expanded and an editable label, Esc closes the menu and returns focus to the button, Tab is kept inside the open menu, and the links work without JavaScript.

Switch on Sticky header. The section uses position: sticky at the top of the page and gets a shadow after you scroll. Turn on Hide on scroll down as well to slide it away while scrolling down.

Yes. Upload an SVG or transparent PNG in the Logo group; it replaces the icon-and-name mark. Keep it around 32 px tall.

At the very top of the body, before your hero. Because it is sticky, it should be a direct child of the body (not inside another wrapper with overflow hidden).

It saves an editable copy of your Simple Sticky Navbar in My Code, the UI Snippets code editor: the section markup goes in the HTML panel, its CSS (theme variables, base styles and layout) in the CSS panel, and the GSAP library is added as a CDN link, so you can keep refining the code and save your own versions.
