To ensure your sections and text are fully responsive in Webflow without overflowing on mobile devices, follow these steps:
1. Use Flexbox or Grid for Layout
- Go to the Style panel for the section or container.
- Set Display to Flexbox (Wrap on) or Grid, ensuring content adjusts to smaller screens.
- Use Justify and Align settings to control content positioning.
2. Set Proper Width & Max Width
- Use percentage (%) width or VW (viewport width) instead of fixed pixels for containers.
- Set Max Width (e.g.,
100%
) to prevent overflow on smaller screens.
3. Enable Auto-Wrapping for Text
- Select the text element and set “Overflow” to “Hidden” or “Auto” under the Style panel.
- Use VW (Viewport Width) units for text sizing instead of fixed pixels.
- Test different screen sizes in Webflow’s responsive preview mode.
4. Reduce Padding & Margins on Mobile
- Switch to the mobile breakpoint.
- Adjust padding and margin values to ensure content stays within the viewport.
- Avoid large fixed margins (use % or EM units instead).
5. Use REM/EM for Font Sizes
- Set font sizes in REM or EM instead of pixels (PX) to scale text automatically.
- Example:
1.2rem
instead of 20px
allows text to adapt to browser settings.
6. Use Webflow’s Breakpoints
- Click on different breakpoints in Webflow’s designer (Tablet, Mobile Landscape, Mobile Portrait).
- Adjust section layouts specifically for smaller screens.
Summary
Use flexbox or grid, avoid fixed widths, enable text wrapping, and adjust padding/margins in the mobile breakpoint. Always test in preview mode to ensure sections don't overflow.
