How can I remove design elements like circles and lines from the mobile version of my Webflow site without affecting the website and tablet versions?

TL;DR
  • In Webflow Designer, switch to the mobile breakpoint, select the element (e.g., circle or line), and set its display to "None" in the Style panel.  
  • Ensure the element remains visible on tablet and desktop breakpoints, and optionally use a combo class for consistent styling across elements.

To remove design elements like circles and lines from the mobile version of your Webflow site without affecting desktop and tablet versions, you should use Webflow’s responsive visibility settings.

1. Select the Element in the Designer

  • Open your project in the Webflow Designer.
  • Use the Navigator panel to select the element (e.g., a circle or line) that you want to hide on mobile.

2. Switch to the Mobile Breakpoint

  • At the top of the Designer, click the mobile portrait (or mobile landscape) icon under "Breakpoints" to switch to the mobile view.
  • You should now be editing styles specific to that screen size.

3. Hide the Element Using Display Settings

  • With the element selected, go to the Style panel (right sidebar).
  • Scroll to the Layout section.
  • Set the Display setting to None.
  • This hides the element on the current breakpoint and any smaller ones (e.g., from mobile landscape to mobile portrait and smaller).

4. Confirm It’s Visible on Larger Breakpoints

  • Switch back to larger breakpoints (tablet or desktop).
  • Make sure the element is still set to display properly (e.g., Block or Flex).
  • Webflow’s style cascade allows you to override visibility per breakpoint, so there’s no risk as long as the element isn’t hidden higher up the cascade.

5. Optional: Use Combo Classes or Custom Breakpoint Classes

  • If you’re hiding multiple elements the same way, consider creating a reusable combo class (e.g., .circle.mobile-hide) and apply the display: none setting only on the mobile breakpoint.
  • This helps maintain more control and consistency across breakpoints.

Summary

To remove visual elements like circles or lines from only the mobile version, use the mobile breakpoint in Webflow Designer, select the element, and set its display to "None". This ensures it stays visible on tablet and desktop while being hidden only on mobile.
