To make social icons and name be shown all the time on mobile in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Add a navbar component: Start by adding a navbar component to your Webflow project. You can do this by clicking on the "Add" button in the toolbar and selecting the "Navbar" option. Customize the navbar design according to your preferences.

  2. Set the navbar as sticky: Select the navbar component, go to the Styles panel, and click on the "Position" tab. Under the "Position" dropdown, select "Fixed". This will make the navbar stick to the top of the screen even when scrolling.

  3. Add social icons and name to the navbar: Inside the navbar component, you can add a Link Block for each social icon you want to display. Place the appropriate social icon (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) within each Link Block. Additionally, you can add a text element for the name.

  4. Arrange the elements: Rearrange the social icons and name elements within the navbar to achieve the desired layout. You can use the Flexbox feature in Webflow to easily align and distribute the elements.

  5. Customize the mobile layout: By default, Webflow will automatically stack the elements vertically on mobile devices for better usability. However, you can use the responsive settings to adjust the layout. Select the navbar and navigate to the Styles panel. Click on the mobile breakpoint icon (represented by a mobile phone icon) to customize the layout specifically for mobile devices. You can resize, reposition, or hide elements as needed.

  6. Preview and publish: Before publishing your site, it is crucial to preview it across different devices to ensure a seamless user experience. Use the Webflow Designer's preview and responsive mode to make any necessary adjustments. Once you're satisfied, publish your website to make the changes live.

By following these steps, you can make sure that the social icons and name are always shown on mobile screens in your Webflow project, enabling better visibility and user engagement.
