How can I create a full-screen mobile menu like the one in this Read-only link in Webflow? Thank you for your assistance!

TL;DR
  • Create a fixed-position full-screen menu container with vertical nav links and set it to display none by default.
  • Use interactions on a menu button to toggle the menu’s visibility and animate it open/close for mobile breakpoints.

To create a full-screen mobile menu like the one in your Webflow read-only link, you'll need to customize the Webflow Navbar component or build a custom menu from scratch. Here's how to do it:

1. Set Up Your Navbar or Custom Menu

  • Use a Navbar component or build your own structure with a Menu Wrapper, Open Menu Button, and slide-in or pop-up Nav Menu container.
  • Inside this container, place a vertical flex layout with all your nav links.

2. Style the Menu Container Fullscreen

  • Select the Nav Menu element.
  • Set Position: Fixed, Top: 0, Left: 0, Width: 100vw, Height: 100vh.
  • Set a Z-Index (e.g., 9999) to ensure it overlays everything.
  • Apply a background color (solid or semi-transparent) to match your design.
  • Initially set Display: None so it’s hidden before interaction.

3. Animate the Menu for Open/Close

  • Add a Menu Button (usually a hamburger icon).
  • Set it to trigger an Interaction (using Interactions panel):
  • On Click → Show Menu: Set the Nav Menu’s display to Flex, then animate its appearance (e.g., fade in or slide in).
  • On 2nd Click → Hide Menu: Animate the reversal (e.g., fade out), then set display to None at the end of the animation.

4. Optimize for Mobile

  • In Tablet and below breakpoints, manually adjust the layout:
  • Stack links vertically.
  • Increase font size, padding, or line height for better tap targets.
  • Hide unnecessary desktop-only elements within the menu.

5. Optional Enhancements

  • Add a Close Button (X icon) inside the full-screen menu.
  • Add menu open background animation or blur.
  • Use a transparent overlay behind the menu items for extra design polish.

Summary

To create a full-screen mobile menu in Webflow, use a fixed-position container with 100% width and height, show/hide it via interactions linked to a menu button, and ensure it’s styled and animated appropriately for smaller viewports.
