This Blueprint is page navigation effect based on the Dribbble shot Stacked navigation by Ilya Kostin. The idea is to show a navigation when clicking on the menu button and transform all pages in 3D and move them to the bottom of the viewport. The next two pages are shown in the back of the current page as a stack. When clicking on a menu item, the respective page comes up.

Please note that we are using a couple of modern CSS properties, so only contemporary browsers are supported.
