How Do I Hide Elements in Mobile Webflow?

When designing a website using Webflow, it’s important to consider the mobile experience. Mobile users have different needs and preferences compared to desktop users.

In some cases, you may want to hide certain elements on mobile devices to improve the overall user experience. In this tutorial, we will explore different methods to hide elements in mobile Webflow.

Method 1: Using Webflow’s built-in classes

If you’re using Webflow, you’re in luck! Webflow provides several built-in classes that allow you to easily hide elements on different devices. These classes are:

  • .w-hidden-tiny: Hides the element on devices with a screen width less than 576 pixels.
  • .w-hidden-small: Hides the element on devices with a screen width between 576 and 767 pixels.w-hidden-medium: Hides the element on devices with a screen width between 768 and 991 pixels.w-hidden-large: Hides the element on devices with a screen width between 992 and 1199 pixels.w-hidden-xlarge: Hides the element on devices with a screen width greater than or equal to 1200 pixels.

To use these classes, simply add them to the class field of the element you want to hide. For example:

<div class="w-hidden-small">
    <p>This paragraph will be hidden on small screens.</p>
</div>

Method 2: Custom CSS media queries

If you want more control over when and how elements are hidden on mobile devices, you can use custom CSS media queries. Media queries allow you to apply CSS styles based on the characteristics of the device’s screen.

Here’s an example of how you can use a media query to hide an element on screens with a maximum width of 767 pixels:

<style>
    @media (max-width: 767px) {
        .hide-on-mobile {
            display: none;
        }
    }
</style>

<div class="hide-on-mobile">
    <p>This paragraph will be hidden on mobile devices.</p>
</div>

Method 3: Webflow interactions

If you’re using Webflow’s interactions feature, you can also hide elements using interactions. Interactions allow you to create animations and other dynamic effects on your website.

To hide an element using interactions, follow these steps:

  1. Create a new interaction by selecting the desired element and clicking the “Add New Interaction” button in the Interactions panel.
  2. In the interaction settings, select “Hide” from the dropdown menu.
  3. Choose the appropriate trigger for when the element should be hidden (e.g., on page load, scroll, click).
  4. Preview your site to see the element being hidden based on your chosen trigger.

Conclusion

Hiding elements in mobile Webflow is essential for creating a seamless user experience across different devices. Whether you prefer using Webflow’s built-in classes, custom CSS media queries, or Webflow interactions, there are several methods at your disposal. Experiment with these techniques to find the one that suits your needs best.

Remember, a well-designed mobile experience can greatly contribute to the success of your website. So, take the time to optimize your site for mobile users by hiding elements when necessary.
