Tablet View Layout Control

What You'll Create

Custom tablet-specific layouts for Fluid Engine sections. Override the default responsive behavior to create grid arrangements optimized for iPad and tablet screen sizes.

The Problem It Solves

Squarespace's Fluid Engine has desktop and mobile views, but tablet displays often fall awkwardly between the two. Layouts that look great on desktop may feel cramped on tablets. This technique lets you define exactly how blocks should arrange on mid-sized screens.

Perfect For

Tablet optimization, Responsive refinement, Portfolio grids, Image layouts, Client presentations

What Makes This Different

This technique targets the tablet breakpoint specifically and resets the grid to a simpler single-column or custom arrangement. Images get constrained to reasonable heights, and blocks flow naturally rather than trying to maintain desktop positioning. Your tablet visitors get a layout designed for their screen size.
