Make Click Targets Large in Webflow

  1. Open your Webflow project and navigate to the page containing buttons, links, icons, or other interactive elements.
  2. Select the first interactive element on the canvas (e.g., button, link block, icon link, menu item).
  3. Open the Style panel and locate the element’s Padding settings.
  4. Increase padding so the clickable area meets at least a 44px × 44px minimum:
    • For text buttons: increase top/bottom padding until the visual height is 44px or greater.
    • For icons or small link blocks: apply enough padding to expand the clickable zone without changing the design’s layout intent.
  5. Check the element’s width and ensure the horizontal clickable area meets or exceeds 44px. If necessary, increase left/right padding or adjust layout spacing.
  6. If the element is a very small icon (e.g., a close “X” or arrow), wrap it in a Link Block:
    • Select the icon → right-click → Wrap with Link Block.
    • Apply padding to the Link Block so the overall click target reaches minimum size.
  7. Review navigation items:
    • Select each nav link inside your Navbar component.
    • Increase padding to ensure each link meets the 44px height target and is easy to tap on mobile.
  8. Switch to mobile breakpoints (tablet, mobile landscape, mobile portrait) and confirm click targets remain large enough. Adjust padding or spacing as needed per breakpoint.
  9. Check components with interactions (e.g., dropdown toggles, sliders, modals). Ensure the trigger elements—not just icons—have large, padded click/tap areas.
  10. Enter Preview mode and test using your mouse or trackpad, ensuring elements are easy to hit without precision. For touch simulation, temporarily reduce your browser window to mobile width.
  11. Publish the site and test on an actual mobile device to verify that all interactive elements feel comfortable and easy to tap.
