Can I rearrange content for mobile in Webflow without affecting the desktop and tablet versions?

TL;DR
  • Use Flexbox to reorder elements by adjusting the Order property on the mobile breakpoint.
  • Use CSS Grid to restructure layouts by modifying the grid template and placement for mobile.
  • For major changes, duplicate elements, then hide/show versions per device using Display -> None.
  • Ensure edits apply only to mobile breakpoints without affecting desktop or tablet layouts.

Yes, you can rearrange content for mobile in Webflow without affecting the desktop and tablet versions by using CSS Flexbox, Grid, or visibility settings. Here’s how:

1. Use Flexbox for Reordering

  • Select the parent container of the elements you want to reorder.
  • Set the Display property to Flex in the Style panel.
  • Use the "Order" property on the child elements to rearrange them for mobile.
  • Ensure changes are made only on the mobile breakpoint, so desktop and tablet remain unaffected.

2. Use CSS Grid for Layout Changes

  • Select the parent wrapper and change the Display setting to Grid.
  • Adjust the grid template and row/column placement for mobile.
  • This allows elements to be placed in different positions without changing the HTML structure.

3. Hide and Duplicate for Extreme Cases

  • If the content needs radical restructuring, consider duplicating elements.
  • Hide the original element on mobile and show a mobile-specific version instead.
  • Use the Display -> None setting to prevent unnecessary loading.

4. Use Webflow’s Breakpoints Correctly

  • Any style changes made on mobile breakpoints do not affect desktop or tablet by default.
  • Ensure you are editing the correct viewport by selecting the mobile icons at the top of the Style panel.

Summary

You can rearrange content for mobile in Webflow using CSS Flexbox, Grid, or visibility settings, all without impacting desktop or tablet layouts. Using Flexbox/Grid is the best approach, while duplicating elements should be used as a last resort. Always preview changes across breakpoints to ensure consistency.
