There could be several reasons why the responsive design on the Portfolio page of your Webflow website is not working properly on different devices. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

  1. Lack of Mobile Breakpoints:
  • Check if your website has defined breakpoints for different devices (e.g., desktop, tablet, mobile).
  • Use Webflow's responsive design features to set breakpoints at appropriate screen sizes.
  • Ensure that all elements on the Portfolio page are designed to look good at each breakpoint.
  1. Incorrect Use of Flexbox or Grid:
  • Verify that you have correctly utilized Flexbox or Grid layouts to make your website responsive.
  • Check if any elements are not set to resize, stretch, or wrap properly at different screen sizes.
  • Adjust the CSS properties of the problematic elements to ensure they adapt well on various devices.
  1. Improper Image Sizing:
  • Check the size and resolution of the images used on the Portfolio page.
  • Make sure that the images are properly optimized for the web to prevent slow loading times.
  • Use Webflow's responsive image settings to make sure images resize or swap properly on different devices.
  1. Incompatibility with Older Browsers or Devices:
  • Test your website on different browsers and devices, especially older ones.
  • Check the compatibility of the CSS properties and JavaScript used on the Portfolio page.
  • Consider using fallbacks or alternative designs for older browsers or devices that don't support certain features.
  1. Custom Code Interference:
  • If you have added custom HTML, CSS, or JavaScript to your Webflow website, review the code and make sure it doesn't conflict with the responsive design.
  • Check for any media queries or specific styles that may be causing the issue.
  • Remove or modify the code to ensure it doesn't interfere with the responsiveness of your portfolio page.
  1. Insufficient Testing:
  • Test your website on a variety of devices and screen sizes.
  • Consider using browser developer tools or responsive design testing tools to simulate different devices.
  • Make adjustments based on the issues you identify during testing.

By addressing these potential causes, you should be able to identify and resolve the responsive design issue on the Portfolio page of your Webflow website.
