How can I center my logo in the navigation bar with 2 links on the left and 3 links on the right in Webflow?
- Create a flex container with three divs: LeftLinks (2 links), Logo (centered), and RightLinks (3 links).
- Use space-between justification for visual balance, or apply absolute positioning with transform for exact centering.
You're trying to center your logo within the navbar, while having 2 menu links on the left and 3 on the right. This is a common symmetrical nav layout and can be done using Webflow’s flexbox tools.
1. Create the Main Navbar Structure
- Drag a Navbar component into your Webflow project or create your own using a
ContainerorDiv Block. - Remove the default Navbar Menu and Brand structure if starting from scratch.
2. Set Up the Flex Container
- Wrap your entire navigation bar in a Div Block, and give it a class name like
NavBar. - Set the NavBar display to Flex (horizontal row).
- Justify: Space-between, Align: Center.
3. Add and Configure the Left, Center, and Right Blocks
Inside the main
NavBar, add three Div Blocks:LeftLinksLogoRightLinksThe purpose is to balance the center logo between the left and right link groups.
4. Populate the Left and Right Blocks
Add 2 link blocks or text links inside
LeftLinks.Add 3 link blocks or text links inside
RightLinks.Style them appropriately (padding, font, etc.) so they take up similar widths if possible, which helps visually center the logo.
5. Center the Logo Vertically and Horizontally
- Place your logo as an Image or Text block inside the
Logodiv. - Ensure
Logohas auto width, and the Logo itself is: - Vertically centered using
Align: Centeron the parent Flex container. - Horizontally centered within the navbar via the space-between layout.
6. Optional: Use Absolute Centering (Advanced)
If exact symmetry is critical regardless of unequal link widths:
- Set the
NavBarto Position: Relative. - Set the
Logodiv to Position: Absolute → Left: 50% + Transform: TranslateX(-50%). - This forces the logo dead-center even if left/right link blocks differ in width.
- Note: This method may affect responsiveness, so use with caution.
7. Make It Responsive
- Adjust flex settings for tablets and mobile.
- Consider collapsing the links into a menu (Webflow Navbar element handles this automatically).
- You may duplicate the logo to appear in the menu and hide the original logo on smaller screens using display: none / block combos.
Summary
To center your logo in the navbar with links on both sides, use three divs (Left, Logo, Right) inside a flex container with space-between justification. This aligns the logo centrally when left and right link groups are visually balanced. For exact centering regardless of content width, use absolute positioning and transform translate techniques.
