This visual guide will walk you through important responsive web design concepts and how to implement them visually inside Webflow. 

#1 The box model

Understanding website structure

All the elements on this page are all blocks inside of other blocks (aka “Box Model”). When dragging web elements, you drag them from one block and drop them into another. That’s how HTML works!

INFO: This is how HTML and web structure works - elements stack under each other or inside of each other. That’s the best way to build a fluid and responsive website.
#2 LAYOUT ELEMENTS

Basic layout elements

Add elements to your website by clicking on the [ + ] icon in the upper left hand corner. Below are some of the most basic structure elements in web design - sections, containers and columns. 

A Section takes up 100% of the width of the browser window if you add it to the Body (the canvas of a website).
It’s great for the big horizontal sections of a website.

Section Element

A Container is a 960px block centered in the middle of the browser. Usually most website content is added inside of a Container so that it’s centered. Containers are usually added to the Body or a Section element.

Container Element

Adding Columns are the fastest way to build a unique website layout. To edit how many columns you want in different devices, just click on the Gear Icon in the top right corner to access element settings.

Responsive Columns
#3 Designing with CSS

Styling your elements

Select an element and add a class in the right style panel (Brush Icon). In this panel you can add text and graphic styles like font color, line height, gradients, borders, shadows, and more. Visual web design is way more fun than coding right?
