Hi all~

do any of you have any experience or tips you recommend when scaling down from desktop sizing? I'm coming into a bit of an issue with the scale that I want to fix before export. I am looking to properly resize my added fonts, paragraphs, etc. all of my pictures appear to scale properly, but when I've added in paragraph information, it keeps the same font size between breakpoints? i've tried changing it but for some reason it still shows up however I move it from mobile to desktop.

Would a good solution be to keep the font one size that fits all breakpoints?

Many thanks~

Zoe,
Can you share a link to a page that has the issue?
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

There are a number of ways to do this
if we were doing this in HTML (ourside of Site Designer,) using the CSS property "Clamp" which allows you to set a font-size that grows with the size of the viewport, but doesn't go below a minimum font-size or above a maximum font-size.
so you could do that by placing that property in the text <head> section, but then you would't be able to see this working until external preview, (which could be confusing for most begginners or the inexperienced)

There is a workaround for Site Designer which can almost do the same hovever it maybe a bit fiddly for you (or others) who are trying to do this because it best to do this at the very start of a project.

1/ disable ALL BREAKPOINTS (if any)

2/ the text needs to be a child of a container

3 at the lowest point of your layout (left of the lowest breakpoint )you set the size of the text to VW (adjust the amount until the desired text looks how you want it.

4/you then give the 'PARENT CONTAINER' a maximum width in pixels, which you can then adjust accordingly at any additional breakpoints (if any) (Unless of course you are using frameworkless where there are no breakpoints (at the beginning of the project))

As I said earlier, this is fairly straightforward if done at the beginning of the project.

A step by step video is available showing how to achieve this (n all 4 frameworks) is available upon request.

Consider using relative units like percentages or ems for font sizes instead of fixed pixel values. This allows your text to adapt more fluidly to different screen sizes.
