Staircase and Sliding Text on Hover

In this tutorial, you will learn to create a staircase with sliding text on hover using CSS. The transform skew and scale properties are used to create a 3D stair step while the transform translate is used for sliding the text. Watch the video below for a detailed tutorial.

HTML

<body>
    <div class="stair">
      <div class="step">
        <p></p>
        <p>Lorem Impsum</p>
      </div>
      <div class="step">
        <p>Lorem Impsum</p>
        <p>Dolor sit</p>
      </div>
      <div class="step">
        <p>Dolor sit</p>
        <p>Consectetur</p>
      </div>
      <div class="step">
        <p>Consectetur</p>
        <p>Adipiscing</p>
      </div>
      <div class="step">
        <p>Adipiscing</p>
        <p>Do eiusmod</p>
      </div>
      <div class="step">
        <p>Do eiusmod</p>
        <p></p>
      </div>
    </div>
</body>
