I just read about using ems instead of pixels for media query breakpoints and the idea seems very solid. Just wanted to know if webflow uses ems or pixels for media queries, and if you use pixels, you should consider using ems instead :smile:

We currently use Pixels. You can learn more here: Redirecting…

We have some major improvements to our grid system on our roadmap and EMS might be part of it, but no promises.

I see, you are using bootstrap. Hopefully you are considering using your own custom framework in the future. Anyway, here is the article I read about using ems instead pixels, which might be relatively easy to implement. The logic of the argument makes much sense to me :smile:

Brad frost wrote a nice little about media queries using this techniques as well:
