How can I make changes in my web design specific to Mobile - Landscape and Mobile - Portrait views in Webflow, without affecting the desktop and tablet views?
TL;DR
In Webflow, you can make design changes specific to Mobile - Landscape and Mobile - Portrait views using Webflow's responsive design tools. Here's how to do it without affecting your Desktop and Tablet views.
1. Navigate to the Target Breakpoint
- Open your project in Webflow Designer.
- Look at the top of the Designer and locate the breakpoint selector.
- Click on "Mobile - Landscape" (tablet icon with rotated screen) or "Mobile - Portrait" (smallest screen icon).
2. Make Style Adjustments
- Changes made in these mobile-specific breakpoints only affect the selected and smaller breakpoints, not larger ones.
- Modify styles using Margins, Paddings, Flexbox, Grid, Text Sizes, Image Scaling, etc..
- Avoid changing structure (e.g., moving elements), as that affects all breakpoints.
3. Use ‘Combo Classes’ if Necessary
- If you need a change that should apply only to mobile views, create a combo class:
- Select an element.
- Add a new class variation (e.g.,
button mobile). - Modify the styles for that specific view.
4. Test Responsiveness
- Use the preview mode in Webflow to check how your changes look on different devices.
- Resize the Webflow canvas manually to spot any inconsistencies.
Summary
Use Webflow’s breakpoint selector to apply changes directly to Mobile - Landscape or Mobile - Portrait views. Styling changes in these views cascade downward but won’t affect larger breakpoints like Desktop and Tablet. Use combo classes if needed to keep mobile-only styles isolated. Always preview changes to ensure proper responsiveness.
