Suggest me some tips about responsive layout?

Hi there,

The Quick Stack element is an excellent starting point for your layouts as it comes with pre-configured display settings. Here’s how to make the most of it:

For structured 2-dimensional designs that require precise cell positioning or content overlap, use CSS grid. Flexbox works best on parent elements when you need fluid 1-dimensional layouts that adapt naturally to their content.

To ensure your design works across all devices:

  • Use the preview icon in Designer to test different viewport widths
  • Avoid fixed pixel widths (like 500px wide images) as they won’t adapt well on mobile devices
  • Test your design at various breakpoints to ensure proper responsiveness

Hopefully this helps! If you still need assistance, please reply here so somebody from the community can help.

1. Use Relative Units (%, vw/vh, em/rem)

  • Avoid fixed px values for widths/margins when possible.
  • Use % for widths, em/rem for padding/margin, and vw/vh for scaling with screen size.

2. Build with Mobile-First or Desktop-First — Then Adjust

  • Start with a clean structure (usually desktop first in Webflow).
  • Then adjust progressively on smaller breakpoints.

3. Use Flexbox or Grid (instead of floats or manual margins)

  • Flexbox: Great for rows/columns or aligning items.
  • CSS Grid: Ideal for complex, multi-column layouts.
  • These tools adapt more naturally than fixed layouts.

4. Set Max Widths for Containers

  • Keep text lines readable (ideally 600–1200px).
  • Use a container div with max-width and margin: auto to center content.

5. Stack on Smaller Screens

  • Use media queries (or Webflow breakpoints) to:
    • Switch from horizontal to vertical layout
    • Reduce padding/margins
    • Hide/show elements based on screen size

6. Test on Real Devices

  • Webflow preview is helpful, but test on:
    • Mobile phones (iOS & Android)
    • Tablets
    • Large desktops

7. Avoid Fixed Heights

  • Let sections grow with content (min-height instead of height)
  • This prevents content overflow and improves accessibility

8. Control Overflow

  • Use overflow: hidden/auto wisely to avoid breaking layouts
  • Especially useful for sliders, sticky elements, and modals

9. Optimize Images for Responsiveness

  • Use Webflow’s responsive image features
  • Set images to max-width: 100% and height: auto

10. Use Webflow’s Breakpoints

  • Tweak layout at:
    • 992px (tablet)
    • 768px (mobile landscape)
    • 480px (mobile portrait)
