Tablet Layouts Get Independent Row and Column Widths

TL;DR

Tablet layouts in the funnel and website builders now support independent row and column widths. No immediate action is required unless you are actively building or updating tablet views.

Who this affects

This update affects anyone building or designing funnels and websites within HighLevel, specifically those concerned with the responsive design for tablet devices. Agencies focusing on client-facing sites or sales funnels with diverse device usage should be aware. HighLevel has not confirmed who this specifically affects beyond that.

What changed

HighLevel has released an update that provides more granular control over tablet layouts. The key changes are:

• Row and column widths for tablet layouts are now independent of desktop settings.
• The funnel builder supports device-specific row and column widths for tablet layouts.
• The website builder supports device-specific row and column widths for tablet layouts.
• Tablet layouts now have automatic inheritance.
• Tablet layouts now have easy reset options.

HighLevel has not confirmed any limits, plan gating, or rollout status for this feature.

Where to find it

HighLevel has not confirmed the exact location for this new functionality. However, based on the nature of the update, expect to find these controls within the page editor of both the funnel builder and the website builder, likely accessible when viewing the tablet-specific layout options for rows and columns.

How agencies will use this

Agencies can use this to create more refined and user-friendly experiences for their clients' tablet users. For example, an agency designing a landing page for a client's lead generation campaign often finds that a layout perfect for desktop looks stretched or cramped on a tablet. Previously, adjusting a column width for a tablet might inadvertently alter the desktop view. Now, an agency can set a specific, narrower column width for a critical call-to-action button on the tablet layout of a landing page without impacting its desktop appearance. This allows for better spacing, improved readability of form fields, and more precise control over how elements stack or resize, ensuring a consistent brand experience across different devices and potentially improving conversion rates for tablet users.

Our take

This is a standard usability improvement. While not a groundbreaking feature, it addresses a common responsive design frustration. Agencies building custom sites and funnels for clients will appreciate the added control, allowing for more polished tablet-specific designs. It's a small update that adds to the platform's overall design flexibility.
