<p><strong>Design once. Scale everywhere.</strong></p>
<p>Fluid Design System for Elementor is a small yet powerful add-on that brings fluid typography and spacing presets directly into Elementor’s interface — helping you create fully responsive designs that scale naturally across every screen size, from tiny phones to ultra-wide desktops.</p>
<p>🎯 <em>Think of it like color presets — but for padding, font sizes, and layout gaps.</em></p>
<p>With just a few clicks, you can:<br />
– Define minimum and maximum values for typography or spacing.<br />
– Apply those values using a new “fluid” unit inside any Elementor control.<br />
– Watch your design scale smoothly—no coding or media queries required.<br />
– Organize your presets into custom groups (e.g. “Border Radius”, “Thumbnail Sizes”) for better management.</p>
<p>Say goodbye to manually tweaking every breakpoint. Say hello to automatic, intelligent design scaling with organized preset management.</p>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<p>❓ <strong>What Does “Fluid” Mean?</strong></p>
<p>Traditionally in Elementor, you need to set separate values for each breakpoint — for example, one font size for desktop, another for tablet, and another for mobile.</p>
<p>While this gives some control, it has two major downsides:<br />
– 🧩 <strong>It’s rigid</strong>: You only define styles for specific screen widths, leaving awkward gaps in between where the design may not scale smoothly.<br />
– ⏱️ <strong>It’s time-consuming</strong>: Updating styles across multiple breakpoints for every section and element becomes a repetitive, manual process.</p>
<p>💡 <strong>Fluid Design System solves this.</strong><br />
Instead of setting fixed values for each breakpoint, you define just two—a minimum and a maximum — and the plugin automatically generates a smooth scaling behavior in between. This means:<br />
– One preset handles all screen sizes.<br />
– You get consistent design and spacing across the entire site.<br />
– You save time and reduce manual effort.<br />
– You can organize presets into groups for different projects or design systems.</p>
<p>This plugin introduces <strong>Fluid Units</strong>, powered by CSS <code>clamp()</code> and custom presets, allowing your design to scale automatically across all screen sizes.</p>
<p>Here’s how it works in real scenarios:</p>
<h3>✍️ Fluid Typography Example</h3>
<ul>
<li>Old way: 24px (mobile), 36px (tablet), 72px (desktop)</li>
<li>Fluid way: One preset: min = 24px, max = 72px</li>
<li>Result: Text scales smoothly and proportionally on all devices.</li>
</ul>
<h3>📦 Fluid Spacing Example</h3>
<ul>
<li>Old way: 40px (mobile), 80px (tablet), 160px (desktop)</li>
<li>Fluid way: One preset: min = 40px, max = 160px</li>
<li>Result: Section padding adjusts naturally without breakpoints.</li>
</ul>
<h3>🔗 Fluid Gaps Example</h3>
<ul>
<li>Gap between elements: 20px (mobile) to 60px (desktop)</li>
<li>Result: Even spacing between containers and widgets on any screen.</li>
</ul>
<p>❓ <strong>Why not Just Use <code>vw</code> or <code>vh</code> Units?</strong></p>
<p>While viewport units like <code>vw</code> can scale elements based on screen width, they often lack control — your text might become unreadably small or overly large. The Fluid Design System solves this by generating <code>clamp()</code> values behind the scenes, so your designs stay within defined min/max boundaries. This gives you the flexibility of responsive scaling, combined with the precision of design tokens.</p>
<p>👉 Behind the scenes, the plugin creates CSS variables like: <code>clamp(24px, 5vw, 72px)</code> which Elementor then uses across typography, spacing, padding, margin, and more.</p>
<h3>How to Use</h3>
<p>Follow these steps to set up and use the Fluid Design System in your Elementor projects.</p>
<h4>📐 Step 1: Configure Fluid Breakpoints</h4>
<ol>
<li>Go to Elementor > Site Settings</li>
<li>Navigate to the “Fluid Typography & Spacing” tab</li>
<li>In the “Breakpoints” panel, set your:
<ul>
<li>Minimum Screen Width (e.g., 360px for mobile)</li>
<li>Maximum Screen Width (e.g., 1920px for desktop)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<h4>🧰 Step 2: Create Your Presets</h4>
<ol>
<li>In the same “Fluid Typography & Spacing” tab:
<ul>
<li>Go to “Typography Presets” to create fluid font size presets</li>
<li>Go to “Spacing Presets” to create fluid spacing presets</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>For each preset:
<ul>
<li>Give it a descriptive name</li>
<li>Set minimum and maximum values</li>
<li>Optionally set custom breakpoints for this preset</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<h4>🎨 Step 3: Apply Your Presets</h4>
<ol>
<li>Edit any page with Elementor</li>
<li>In any control that supports custom units (typography, spacing, etc.):
<ul>
<li>Select “fluid” as the unit</li>
<li>Choose your preset from the dropdown</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Watch your design smoothly adapt to different screen sizes</li>
</ol>
<h4>🔧 Step 4: Fine-tune Your Design</h4>
<ol>
<li>Use the live preview to see how your presets work</li>
