Is there an alternative way, perhaps using Webflow, to switch to a tablet layout after 1150px and improve the text flow in the design when scaling from desktop to tablet?

To improve text flow and layout responsiveness when scaling from desktop down to tablet in Webflow, you can override the default tablet breakpoint (which begins at 991px) by using custom design techniques. Webflow doesn’t support adding custom breakpoints, but here are alternative ways to simulate a tablet layout after 1150px.

1. Use the Desktop Breakpoint for Tablet-Like Layout

• Webflow's desktop breakpoint applies to any screen wider than 991px, including widths like 1150px.
• Design your fallback “tablet view for 1150px” within the desktop breakpoint by using flexbox or grid wrapping, media-query-based visibility triggers, and fluid type/layout techniques.

2. Create Layout Adjustments Using Container Max-Widths

• Set a container to max-width: 1150px and center it using margin: auto.
• Inside, use grid or flexbox to create a layout that visually resembles your desired tablet layout (e.g., stacking columns earlier).

3. Use Combo Classes or Custom Classes for Responsive Behavior

• Add custom classes that switch styles earlier, at widths around 1150px.
• Use Webflow’s “Hide/Show” visibility settings or structure changes (e.g., stack columns) via combo classes applied conditionally at the base desktop breakpoint.

4. Use Custom Code for a CSS Media Query at 1150px

• If you need precise control, insert custom CSS in the Page Settings or Site Settings > Inside Head.
• Use a @media (max-width: 1150px) CSS rule to redefine layout behavior—such as stack columns or reduce margins.

Example:
Use custom CSS like:
@media (max-width: 1150px) { .grid-layout { flex-direction: column; } }
Only reference Webflow-published class names.

5. Use “Clamp” or “Max” Units for Typography and Spacing

• Leverage clamp(), vw units, or percentage-based padding/margins to allow text and spacing to adapt more fluidly as the viewport shrinks.
• This improves text readability and avoids sudden layout shifts when crossing breakpoints.

Summary

While Webflow doesn’t allow adding custom breakpoints directly, you can simulate a tablet layout at 1150px by building responsive behaviors within the desktop breakpoint, using custom CSS media queries, and leveraging flexible layout tools like grid, flexbox, and clamp units.
