To make the nav link and the burger menu appear simultaneously in your desktop navbar using Webflow, you can follow the steps below:

  1. Create a navbar element: Start by adding a navbar element to your page. This can be done by dragging and dropping the "Navbar" component from the Elements panel onto your page.

  2. Add a container: Within the navbar, add a container element. This will help to organize the content within the navbar and make it responsive.

  3. Add your nav links: Inside the container, add your nav links. These can be added using text elements or link blocks, depending on your design preference. Set up the styling for the nav links as desired.

  4. Add a menu button: Next, add a menu button to your navbar. This is typically represented by a hamburger icon. You can add an icon element and style it accordingly.

  5. Create interactions: You'll need to create interactions to make both the nav link and the burger menu appear simultaneously on the desktop version of your website.

  • Select the menu button and go to the Interactions panel.
  • Create an initial appearance animation for your nav links. This could involve changing the opacity or positioning properties.
  • Set a trigger for the interaction. The trigger can be a click or a hover, depending on your preference.
  • Create a second appearance animation for the nav links to make them visible. Adjust the properties as needed.
  • Make sure to choose "Affect different element" and select your nav links as the affected element for this animation.
  • Preview and test your interactions to ensure they are working as expected.
  1. Configure the mobile menu: By default, Webflow will automatically convert your desktop menu into a mobile-friendly menu. However, you may need to customize the appearance and behavior of the mobile menu using Webflow's built-in features or custom code if desired.

By following these steps, you can make the nav link and the burger menu appear simultaneously in your desktop navbar using Webflow.
