How to fix the mobile display of a component on Webflow

Optimize the responsive design of your hotel website

Key points:

  • Responsive design on Webflow is configured directly in the Designer.
  • Each device (desktop, tablet, mobile) can have its own settings.
  • The problems often stem from margins, widths, or alignment.

When a component doesn't display correctly on mobile in Webflow, it often means its styles aren't yet optimized for smaller screens. The good news is that Webflow handles responsive design visually and intuitively, allowing you to adjust every detail without altering the desktop design.

Steps to correct the mobile display of a component

  1. Open your project in Webflow Designer. At the top of the interface, select the Mobile Landscape or Mobile Portrait icon to display the mobile view.
  2. Select the component in question. Click on the element that is displaying incorrectly (section, image, button, text block, etc.).
  3. Check the size and margins. In the Style panel (on the right), adjust:
    • Width: Prefer values ​​expressed as a percentage rather than fixed pixels.
    • Padding & Margin: Reduce them to prevent the element from extending beyond the screen.
    • Text Size: Reduce the size slightly for smoother reading.
  4. Adjust the layout. If the content overlaps, check:
    • Flex or Grid properties (column, direction, alignment).
    • Wrap behavior (allowing line breaks).
    • Fixed heights are often responsible for discrepancies.
  5. Hiding or replacing certain elements on mobile: If a component is too complex for mobile, select it and then click the eye icon (Display none) to hide it in this version. You can add a simplified version that is only visible on mobile.
  6. Test on several screen sizes; Webflow allows you to resize the window to check for smoothness. Also test on a real smartphone to validate the final rendering.

💡 Tip: Use combo classes (e.g., “hero-section mobile”) to create mobile-specific variants without impacting other views. This allows you to maintain precise control while staying organized.

Best practices

  • Always check your changes at all breakpoints before publishing.
  • Use relative units (%, vw, vh, em) to ensure design flexibility.
  • Avoid making multiple individual adjustments; instead, opt for a consistent structure using Flexbox or Grid.
  • Keep your content uncluttered on mobile: prioritize readability and fast loading times.

Conclusion

Correcting the mobile display of a component in Webflow is essential to providing a seamless experience for visitors to your hotel website. By adjusting your styles and testing each view, you ensure a consistent presentation across all devices—a key factor for SEO and conversion.
