Building a simple landing page with Glassmorphism

Recently, there was a competition between my colleague in my workspace to design a food menu with your own ideas and creativity. Though the wirefire was given by my team lead to us.

I am a guy which usually only code or slice the site and have no knowledge of design. So I was thinking of doing some research and learn new things from this task so I surf the internet and found about glassmorphism and decided to implement glassmorphism design style. The most defining characteristics of glassmorphism are:

  • Transparency
  • Vivid colors to highlight the blurred transparency.
  • Light border

Glassmorphism design style is pretty easy to achieve for front-end developers. You only need to know about the CSS property backdrop-filter. To create the glassmorphism effect, you should use backdrop-filter: blur().

// HTML code
<div class="wrapper">
 <div class="card"></div>
</div>

//CSS code
* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

.wrapper {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100vh;
  background: linear-gradient(90deg, #ffda3a 6%, #f68b1e 25%, #F14444 45%, #D53567 55%, #9A109A 94%);
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center; 
}

.card {
  width: 300px;
  height: 300px;
  background: rgba(255,255,255,0.4);
  backdrop-filter: blur(10px);
  border-radius: 10px;
  border: 2px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.2);  
}

I sometimes feel like front end is the most difficult task. Only creative people can pull it off.
