Yes, in Webflow, it is possible to ensure that the default breakpoint size remains consistent regardless of the screen being used for design. This can be achieved by following these steps:

  1. Open the Design panel by clicking on the paintbrush icon in the left sidebar.
  2. In the Design panel, locate the "Breakpoints" section.
  3. By default, Webflow has four predefined breakpoints: Desktop, Tablet Landscape, Tablet Portrait, and Mobile Landscape. You can adjust the size of these breakpoints to match your design requirements.
  4. To ensure the default breakpoint size remains consistent, you can lock the desired default breakpoint. Locking a breakpoint means that it will remain the same width regardless of the screen size.
  5. To lock a breakpoint, click on the lock icon located next to the breakpoint name in the Design panel. This will prevent the breakpoint width from changing when resizing the design canvas.
  6. Once a breakpoint is locked, you can design your website with confidence, knowing that the default breakpoint size will remain consistent across different screens without the need for constant checking and adjustments.

It is advisable to keep in mind that while locking a breakpoint can help maintain consistency, it may still require some adjustments for responsiveness on different screen sizes. However, locking the default breakpoint ensures that the width remains consistent, making it easier to maintain a cohesive design across different devices.

By following these steps, you can ensure that the default breakpoint size remains consistent in Webflow without the need for constant checking and adjustments.
