Building Contra an Advanced Navigation & Footer in Framer

Erin from Contra contacted me with an awesome idea for a new interactive & advanced Navigation for the Contra site. As Contra scales and builds more pages, the previous navigation can no longer hold the volume of marketing pages required. That's where I came in!

I was provided the Desktop version in Figma of the desired Navigation & Footer design, and went to work on developing it within Framer!

Integrate Light & Dark mode versions of the updated Navigation & Footer

Cross-platform and browser design is always my top priority! I spent time building a user-friendly and capable component for both the Navigation & Footer. Framer Overlays is a powerful tool that we can utilize to create stable Navigation dropdowns & overlays that can be easily built on top of. We're using this for both the Desktop and Mobile versions. For Desktop: We're using the Relative option for dropdowns For Mobile: We use a Fixed overlay with tons of inner components to build a user-first mobile navigation.
