Welcome to our tutorial on creating a responsive navbar in Webflow!

Now that we have set the tone, let’s dive into the steps required to create our responsive navbar.

Step 1: Setting up the HTML structure

To begin, we need to set up the HTML structure for our navbar. We will use an unordered list (

). This allows us to easily style and position each item.
Here’s an example of what our HTML structure will look like:
```
<nav class="navbar">
  <ul class="navbar-list">
    <li class="navbar-item"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
    <li class="navbar-item"><a href="#">About</a></li>
    <li class="navbar-item"><a href="#">Services</a></li>
    <li class="navbar-item"><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
  </ul>
</nav>
```
Step 2: Styling the navbar with CSS

Now that we have our HTML structure in place, let’s add some CSS to style our navbar. We will use CSS flexbox to create a responsive layout.

Here’s an example of the CSS code:
```
.navbar {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
  background-color: #f0f0f0;
  padding: 20px;
}navbar-list {
  list-style-type: none;
  display: flex;
}navbar-item {
  margin-right: 20px;
}navbar-item a {
  text-decoration: none;
}
```
In the code above, we set the display property of our navbar to flex, which allows us to easily align items horizontally. The justify-content property is set to space-between to evenly distribute the items within the navbar. We also added some padding and background color for styling.

Step 3: Making the navbar responsive

To make our navbar responsive, we need to add some media queries. Media queries allow us to apply different styles based on the screen size.

Here’s an example of how we can modify our CSS for mobile devices:
```
@media (max-width: 768px) {
  .navbar {
    flex-direction: column;
    align-items: center;
    padding-top: 40px;
    padding-bottom: 40px;
  }

  .navbar-list {
    flex-direction: column;
    align-items: center;
    margin-top: 20px;
    margin-bottom: 20px;
  }

  .navbar-item {
    margin-right: initial; /* Resetting margin */
    margin-bottom: 10px; /* Adding bottom margin */
   }
}
```
In this example, we change the flex-direction of both the navbar and navbar-list to column, allowing the items to stack vertically on smaller screens. We also added some additional padding and margin to improve the spacing between items.
