How can I adjust the size of the background video on smaller screens without it adjusting the desktop view in Webflow?

To adjust the size of the background video on smaller screens without affecting the desktop view in Webflow, you can use CSS media queries. Media queries allow you to apply different styles based on the screen size or device being used.

Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Identify the class or ID of the element containing the background video. This could be a section or a div block.

  2. Apply a specific CSS class to the element that you want to adjust the size of on smaller screens.

  3. In the Webflow Designer, navigate to the Custom Code panel for the corresponding page, or go to the Project Settings to add the code globally.

  4. Inside the <style> tags, write a media query that targets the desired screen size range. For example, to target screens smaller than 768 pixels in width (typical for tablets), you would use @media (max-width: 767px) { ... }. Adjust the pixel value according to your needs.

  5. Within the media query block, use CSS properties to modify the element's size. For example, you can set height: auto; to make the height adjust automatically based on the aspect ratio of the video, while specifying a maximum width using max-width: 100%; to prevent the video from overflowing on smaller screens.

Here's an example of the CSS code you would use within the media query block:

@media (max-width: 767px) {  .background-video {    height: auto;    max-width: 100%;  }}

Remember to replace .background-video with the actual class or ID of the element containing the background video.

By implementing this approach, you can ensure that the background video adjusts its size appropriately on smaller screens without affecting the desktop view in Webflow.

In Webflow, how can I make the "Services" section stack vertically on top of one another in tablet, mobile, and vertical mobile?

To make the "Services" section stack vertically on top of one another in tablet, mobile, and vertical mobile views in Webflow, you can utilize Webflow's built-in responsive design options. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Select the "Services" section in the Webflow Designer.

  2. In the Styles panel, click on the settings icon (gear symbol) next to the box layout option.

  3. In the Layout tab of the settings panel, change the display property to flex.

  4. Set the flex direction to column. This will stack the elements vertically.

  5. Adjust the alignment and spacing of the individual elements within the "Services" section as needed.

  6. Preview and test the layout in tablet, mobile, and vertical mobile views to ensure that the stacking behavior is as desired.

By following these steps, you can easily make the "Services" section stack vertically on top of one another in tablet, mobile, and vertical mobile views in Webflow.
