Overview
Going responsive with utility classes
In this video, we explore how to design responsive websites using Webflow and Figma.
We focus on creating utility classes in Webflow to optimize designs for mobile devices, ensuring faster loading times and better user experiences. The tutorial demonstrates how to hide elements on different devices and adjust layouts for various screen sizes. In this video, we delve into designing mobile-responsive websites using Webflow and Figma. We start by setting up a mobile version in Figma, then move to Webflow to create utility classes for hiding elements on smaller screens. We ensure faster loading times by eliminating unnecessary images for mobile devices. The video also covers creating custom classes to manage visibility and display properties across different breakpoints, and adjusting text sizes and layouts for optimal viewing on various devices.
Summary
- Figma Mobile Design: We start by designing a mobile version in Figma, creating a two-column grid system, and hiding mouse-based elements.
- Webflow Utility Classes: We create a utility class in Webflow called "TabletHide" to hide elements on screens smaller than tablets, ensuring efficient design adjustments.
- Responsive Elements: By applying the utility class, we manage visibility of elements like VR hands, showing them on desktops while hiding on tablets.
- Typography Resizing: Adjusting H1 headings for mobile screens ensures they fit well without being cropped, maintaining readability.
- Gradient Adjustments: Fine-tuning gradient backgrounds to match mobile layouts, providing a consistent visual experience.
- Padding and Margins: Adding padding to containers on mobile to prevent text from touching browser edges, enhancing design aesthetics.
- Logo Resizing: Creating specific classes for logos to ensure they resize appropriately on different devices without breaking layouts.
- Flexbox Considerations: Highlighting the importance of avoiding display block settings on flex elements to prevent layout issues.
- Background Patterns: Using Figma to design and export background patterns for specific sections, enhancing the visual appeal of the mobile version.
- Navigation Styling: Preparing for the next lesson by previewing how to style navigation elements for different breakpoints.
Highlights
