Showcasing innovative menus: highlights from the Framer Challenge
If you were browsing the web circa 1998, splash pages were everywhere. Flash-powered intros with dramatic music, spinning logos, and “Welcome to our website!” animations were a standard part of the design process. Those days are long gone, but they haven't vanished entirely. Brands still use splash pages for age verification, country and language selection, or simply to create a bold first impression.
Ademar Rodrigues — Inspired by Apple’s dynamic island
The winning entry by Ademar Rodrigues stood out with his interactive menu design inspired by Apple’s dynamic island. His menu provided an intuitive and delightful user experience with smooth transitions and visually engaging elements.
Mateusz Najuch — Sleek semi-transparent menu with dynamic interactions
Mateusz Najuch impressed us with a sleek semi-transparent menu design. With smooth interactions, the icons are transformed into names once clicked, providing users with clear navigation options and an elegant UI experience.
Renzo Bianchi — Minimalistic hover effects in horizontal and side menus
Renzo Bianchi showcased two noteworthy menus. The horizontal menu boasted minimalistic smooth hover effects, while the big side menu presented a clean and spacious design. Both entries demonstrated a minimalist approach, ensuring a visually pleasing and user-friendly experience.
Ludovic Losco — Blurring elements for enhanced focus
Ludovic Losco’s entry caught our attention with an interesting concept. When hovering over an item in the menu, the rest of the items were intentionally blurred. This unique approach added an element of intrigue and enhanced the focus on selected menu items.
