Yes, it is possible to have different column layouts for PC, tablet, and mobile versions in Webflow. Webflow offers a powerful feature called flexbox that allows you to easily create responsive column layouts for different screen sizes. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Create a container element: Start by creating a div block or a section element to act as a container for your columns.

  2. Add columns: Inside the container, add div blocks or a container element for each column you want to create. You can set the width, height, and other properties of these elements.

  3. Set flexbox properties: Select the container element and go to the Styles panel. Set the display property to "flex" to enable flexbox layout. You can then use the flex direction property to define the layout orientation. For horizontal columns, set it to "row"; for vertical columns, set it to "column".

  4. Configure columns for different screen sizes: Webflow allows you to customize the layout for different breakpoints (PC, tablet, and mobile). Click on the media query icon in the Styles panel to open the breakpoints settings. By default, the columns will be set to stack on top of each other for smaller screens. To change the layout, select the container or column element, and set different properties for each breakpoint.

  • For PC: Select the container element and adjust the width and other properties to fit your design.
  • For tablet: In the tablet breakpoint, you can select the container element and adjust the width or change the number of columns to fit the tablet screen size.
  • For mobile: In the mobile breakpoint, you may want to stack the columns vertically by selecting the container element and setting the flex direction to "column".
  1. Fine-tune column settings: You can further customize the columns by adjusting properties like margins, padding, alignment, and spacing between columns.

By following these steps, you can easily create different column layouts for PC, tablet, and mobile versions in Webflow without any limitations. Flexbox provides a flexible and responsive way to design column-based layouts that adapt to different screen sizes.
