The aim is to have a fixed navigation that follows the user when he scrolls, and only subtly showing itself by fading out and becoming almost transparent. Inside of the navigation we will have some links, a search input and a top and bottom button that let the user navigate to the top or the bottom of the page. Ok, let’s start. 1.
