Opt for using the flex property instead of manually positioning the navbar.
This is recommended especially for flex items displayed as column in small devices view (<=768px).
@media only screen and (max-width:768px){
.navbar-nav.navbar-center {
display: flex;
flex-direction:column;
}
}
Rather than using this code:
.navbar-nav.navbar-center {
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
transform: translatex(-50%);
}
Add the following code to center align navbar-center on desktop view:
.navbar-nav.navbar-center {
float:none;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}
.main {
min-height: calc(100vh - 10rem);
display: grid;
place-items: center;
}
p {
font-size: 4rem;
line-height: 1.6;
}
nav {
z-index: 1;
}
.navbar-nav.navbar-center {
float:none;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}
@media only screen and (max-width:768px){
.navbar-nav.navbar-center {
display: flex;
flex-direction:column;
}
}
.nav-link {
position: relative;
text-align: center;
}
.nav-link > a {
letter-spacing: 1px;
color: grey !important;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: space-between;
transition: 0.5s;
}
@keyframes animation{
from{
opacity: 0;
transform: translateY(15px);
}
to{
opacity: 1;
transform: translateY(0px);
}
}
