This WPDesigns article will discuss how to make your Elementor website responsive for mobile and tablet in Elementor. Responsive devices are more important now than ever. More and more people are browsing on their phones rather than their computers. If your website is not responsive to mobile devices then you are losing out on a lot of traffic.
What is responsive design?
Responsive design is a method of building a website that automatically scales its contents and elements to fit the screen size on which it is being viewed. It prevents images from being larger than the screen width, making it easier for users on mobile devices to view your content.
The eventual aim of responsive design is to prevent the unnecessary resizing, scrolling, zooming, or flickering that occurs with sites that have not been optimized for different devices. It is frequently difficult to navigate these sites, which may cost you prospective consumers who become frustrated while attempting to start figuring out what to do.
Responsive website design also eliminates the need to create a separate website for smartphone and tab users. Instead of designing multiple websites for different screen sizes, you can now create a single website that automatically scales up or down to match the device being viewed on using Elementor.
How Do I Get to Different Layouts in Elementor?
The screen icon can be found in the bottom left-hand corner. When you select it, the preview will appear. You can see the preview for different devices like for desktop, mobile and tablet.
Although the desktop view is the default, you may easily change it. You will notice that your preview changes to fit a smaller and differently laid out device, with a different aspect ratio, so you can get a sense of how your website layout appears on every device.
You can also now change your breakpoints for desktop, tablet and mobile in Elementor.
How to Use Elementor Responsive Mode in Different Widgets?
Elementor’s responsive mode is really simple to execute. To begin, select the responsive device to which you wish to make the adjustment. It’ll be in desktop mode by default.
However, if you want to make modifications to the mobile or tablet version, go to the bottom left corner and select responsive mode. You can see a mobile preview when you click on that. You can then select the devices from the preview screen in the top-center. Simply select the device that needs to be changed and make the necessary adjustments.
If you want to make any modifications to the widget choices, make sure that the options have responsive icons. If not, you must understand that any modifications you make will affect all of your devices.
Examples
Heading Widget
We’ve added a header widget to the page, as you can see. Now we’ll look at how to change items in various windows. For example, we aligned the heading in the center of the desktop. Then, under the style tab, we adjusted the font size to 50px from typography. We also put 10% padding to the top of the page using the advanced tab.
Click on the responsive mode if you want to make adjustments for mobile. Then you can see a mobile preview. You can adjust the alignment to left for mobile by clicking on the header widget, as we did. Because the font size is larger, you won’t see any significant changes, so we’ll reduce it to 36 px for mobile, and now you can see the alignment left is perfect.
For mobile, you can also increase the padding for the top heading. At the top, I add 25% padding.
So you’ll see a pattern here: I made those changes for those options that had responsive icons beside them. That means we can modify the options that have these icons next to them.
How it looks on desktop
How it looks for mobile
The same methods will apply if you want to make modifications to the tablet version. All you have to do now is change the device on the preview screen.
Then make the necessary adjustments to suit the tablet version. I put the tablet version’s alignment on the right side, changed the font size to 40 px, and extended the padding by 10%.
Responsive design for tablet devices
As you change device the values are changed independently of each other, this makes the Elementor responsive design features very powerful.
