Yes, it is possible to disable zooming on a Webflow site for mobile users by using a snippet of code. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Access the Webflow Designer: Log in to your Webflow account and open the project you want to work on in the Webflow Designer.

  2. Click on Project Settings: In the top-right corner of the Designer, click on the "Project Settings" button.

  3. Open the Custom Code tab: In the settings modal, click on the "Custom Code" tab.

  4. Add viewport meta tag: Inside the <head> section of the custom code, add the following code to define the viewport meta tag:

    ```html

    \`\`\`

    This code sets the initial scale to 1.0 and disables the ability for users to zoom in or out.

  5. Save and publish the changes: Once you've added the code, click on the "Save Changes" button and then publish your site for the changes to take effect.

By adding the above code to your Webflow project, you can prevent mobile users from zooming in or out on your site, providing a consistent viewing experience across different devices.

Please note that by disabling zooming, you are limiting the user's ability to control their own viewing preferences. It is recommended to disable zooming only in specific cases where it is necessary for the design or functionality of the site.
