If you're experiencing issues with the viewport height on tablet and mobile devices on your landing page in Webflow, there are a few potential causes to consider. Here are some factors to investigate:

  1. Incorrect settings in the Layout settings: Make sure that you have set the correct viewport height for the sections or elements on your landing page. In Webflow, you can adjust the height settings by selecting the element and accessing the Layout settings. Check if any specific elements are set to a fixed height that is causing the issue. Adjusting these settings can help ensure that the page properly adapts to different screen sizes.

  2. Use of absolute or fixed positioning: If you have utilized absolute or fixed positioning for elements on your landing page, it can interfere with the responsive behavior across different devices. When using these positioning options, elements are placed in relation to a specific point on the page, which may not adjust correctly to the available viewport height on different devices. Consider using relative or static positioning instead, as they are more flexible and can adapt better to different screen sizes.

  3. Overflow or position-related CSS properties: CSS properties like overflow or position can sometimes cause issues with the viewport height on tablet and mobile devices. For example, if an element has overflow: hidden or position: fixed, it might affect how the page renders on smaller screens. Review your CSS stylesheets and ensure that these properties are set appropriately for each element to avoid any unintended consequences.

  4. Media queries and breakpoints: Webflow provides breakpoints for different devices, allowing you to customize the layout and design specifically for tablets and mobile devices. Check if you have specified different styles or heights for certain elements using media queries at these breakpoints. It's possible that the issue lies within the set styles for smaller screens. Adjusting the styles or breakpoints can help resolve any viewport height issues.

By systematically investigating these potential causes, you should be able to identify and address the issue with the viewport height on tablet and mobile devices on your Webflow landing page.
