Creating a Custom Sticky Navbar with CSS
Navigation bars are an essential component of any website, allowing users to navigate effortlessly without getting lost. In this article, we’ll explore how to create a custom sticky navbar that is responsive to all screen sizes using only CSS.

Next, we’ll write some SCSS code to style our navbar. We’ll use variables for colors and media queries to make our navbar responsive.
“`scss
.header {
background-color: #333;
color: #fff;
padding: 1rem;
text-align: center;
&__nav {
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
align-items: center;
}
&__list {
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
display: flex;
}
&__item {
margin-right: 20px;
&:last-child {
margin-right: 0;
}
}
}
