css box style

In this CSS tutorial we will create a cool service / feature box using CSS. The box will have a left scrolling border on hover.

HTML

Let's first create a simple service box.


<div class="box">
  <h3>Box Header</h3>
  <p class="sub-heading">Sub heading text goes here</p>
  <div class="box-content">Lorem epsum some dummy text goes here as description of the box</div>
</div>

Add basic CSS to box


.box {
  position: relative;
  background: white;
  color: #222;
  width: 300px;
  height: 200px;
  text-align: center;
  padding: 20px;
  transition: all 0.4s ease;
}
.sub-heading {
  margin-bottom: 30px;
}

Add a before element to the box

We will use this to make a scroll like effect.


.box::before {
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  width: 8px;
  height: 70px;
  background: white;
  transition: all 0.4s linear;
}

Add Hover Effect

Now add these CSS hover effect to the box and ::before element.


.box:hover {
  background: tomato;
  color: white;
  border-radius: 6px;
  box-shadow: 4px 4px 4px #868686;
}
.box:hover:before {
  top: 80px;
}

.box {
  position: relative;
  background:white;
