How can I ensure that the tablet design in Webflow matches the PC design, especially when the tablet is set horizontally?

To ensure your tablet layout in Webflow matches your desktop (PC) design, especially in landscape orientation, you need to understand how Webflow handles breakpoints and make manual adjustments accordingly.

1. Understand Webflow's Breakpoints

• Webflow uses breakpoints to define designs for different screen widths.
• The Desktop breakpoint covers widths over 991px.
• Tablet viewport covers 768px to 991px, regardless of orientation.
• A landscape tablet often falls into the tablet breakpoint, not the desktop one, even if it looks "wide".

2. Preview in Tablet Mode (Landscape & Portrait)

• Click Preview in Webflow’s Designer, then select the Tablet icon.
• Rotate the preview using the orientation icon to simulate landscape mode.
• This helps you quickly see if tablet landscape is respecting your desktop layout.

3. Copy Desktop Styles into Tablet View

• Webflow automatically inherits styles from the Desktop for Tablet.
• If things don’t look the same, inspect:
• Margins and Padding: Ensure container spacing hasn’t been overridden.
• Flex/Grid Settings: Responsive layouts may behave differently in tighter widths.
• Font Sizes: Some may scale differently unless you use consistent units like rem or vw.

4. Use Custom Media Queries If Necessary

• While Webflow offers base breakpoints, you can add custom breakpoints for more precise control.
• Click the plus (+) icon next to breakpoints in the top bar to add a custom breakpoint at 1024px or other widths that match landscape tablets.

5. Set Max Widths Manually

• For containers or sections, set a max-width (e.g., 1200px) to avoid unwanted full-width stretching on tablets.
• This simulates a more desktop-like layout on larger tablets.

6. Avoid Absolute/Fixed Sizes

• Avoid using pixel-based widths (e.g., 960px) unless essential.
• Use % or VW units to make elements scale more gracefully between Desktop and Tablet.

7. Use Flexbox or Grid Responsively

• If you’re using Flexbox or Grid, double-check how these behaviors shift across breakpoints.
• You may need to adjust alignment, direction, or wrapping behavior in the Tablet view.

Summary

To match your tablet (especially in landscape) layout with the desktop design, ensure styles are inherited correctly, preview and modify layout at the tablet breakpoint, and use responsive units and structures. Add a custom breakpoint if needed for finer control over wide tablets.
