Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I access Flex?

    Open a site, add a Section, and choose a Flex Section. You can also access Flex by right-clicking on the Row label, and selecting Add > Flex section.  

  • Do I need to pay extra to use Flex?

    Nope. Flex is available on all sites at no additional cost.

  • How can I make my entire site, not just Flex Sections, responsive?

    The Without Code editor supports responsive site layout for desktop / tablet. To enable this, go to Global Design > Site Layout and toggle on the Responsive Desktop/Tablet. 

  • Can I prevent clients from editing Flex Sections?

  • Flex Mode Terminology

    Grid: The vertical and horizontal lines that give structure to the Flex Sections. Grids do not have content, but they enable you to arrange your content. 


    Cell: The space created by the vertical and horizontal lines of the grid. In a single grid, all cells are the same size. 


    Flexbox: Elements inside a flexbox stay fixed along a vertical or horizontal axis, and can be manipulated all at once. Reposition them in the Section, duplicate them, etc.  


    Container: Elements can be placed anywhere you want inside a container. Their position will stay relative inside the container and at all breakpoints.  


    Breakpoint: Point where a design adjusts for a specific screen width, enabling design to be responsive as it scales up and down. Default breakpoints are: main desktop (1025px-1399px), wide desktop (1400px and above), tablet (768px-1024px), mobile (767px and below), and mobile landscape (468px-767px).   


    Layers panel: Left-side panel that displays the elements in the Section (grids, widgets, text boxes, etc.). From here, you can select, rearrange and hide elements.  


    Design panel: Right-side panel that displays design controls for layout, sizing, alignment and more. 


    Learn tab: Access tutorials, videos and onboarding from here.  


    Sizing: You have multiple sizing options in Flex. 


    • A: Size automatically determined by content.
    • Pixel (px): Size stays the same on every screen size.  
    • Viewpoint width (vw): Percent of width when displayed on a given screen. 10vw is 10% of the viewport width. 100 vw takes up 100% of the screen width. 
    • Viewpoint height (vh): Percent of height when displayed on a given screen. 10vh is 10% of the viewport height on every screen size. 
    • Min & max: Smallest/largest measurement of an element. This setting ensures that an element does not get smaller/bigger than this when resizing.
