There are a few potential reasons why the height issue may be occurring in the "Hero Banner" section of your portfolio website on iPhones using Safari in Webflow. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

  1. Viewport settings: One possible reason is that the viewport settings in your Webflow project are not properly configured for mobile devices. To fix this, you can ensure that the following viewport meta tag is added to the <head> section of your HTML code:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
  1. Overflow and scrolling: If the content within the "Hero Banner" section exceeds the available height, it can cause issues on smaller screens. In this case, you can try the following solutions:
  • Ensure that the "Overflow" property is set to "Hidden" for both the "Body" and "Hero Banner" sections in the Webflow Designer.
  • Implement scrolling within the "Hero Banner" section by using the "Overflow" and "Height" properties in the Webflow Designer.
  1. CSS conflicts: It's possible that certain CSS styles applied to the "Hero Banner" section are conflicting with the default styles applied by Webflow or the browser itself. To troubleshoot this, you can try the following steps:
  • Check if any custom CSS code is causing the height issue. Remove or modify the conflicting code.
  • Use the browser's dev tools to inspect the elements within the "Hero Banner" section and see if any specific styles are overriding the desired height.
  • Ensure that the appropriate CSS properties, such as position, display, and height, are set correctly for the "Hero Banner" section and its child elements.
  1. Media queries: It's possible that the CSS styles applied to the "Hero Banner" section do not properly adjust for different screen sizes. To fix this, you can do the following:
  • Check if you have applied appropriate media queries in your custom CSS code to handle different screen sizes, including iPhones in Safari.
  • Adjust the CSS styles within the media queries to ensure that the "Hero Banner" section scales and adjusts correctly on smaller screens.

These are some common causes of height issues in the "Hero Banner" section on iPhones using Safari in Webflow. By following these solutions, you should be able to diagnose and fix the issue. Remember to test your website on multiple devices and browsers to ensure consistent performance.
