Navbar links not getting smaller-CodePudding

I am having an issue with my navbar, once I make the browser tab smaller, the text stays the same size but the logo gets smaller and smaller and disappears. How can I make it so everything gets smaller? If any more information is needed I will provide them. Here are some examples of my problem. 100% width page vs Page made smaller for smaller screens for example

* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  font-family: 'Poppins', sans-serif;
}


/* custom scroll bar */

::-webkit-scrollbar {
  width: 10px;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
  background: #f1f1f1;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
  background: #888;
}

::selection {
  background: rgb(0, 123, 255, 0.3);
}

.content {
  max-width: 1250px;
  margin: auto;
  padding: 0 30px;
}

I think you're using @media wrong.

@media (max-width: 868px)

indicates that these styles will be applied when it has a max width of 868px. So for small screens you need to decrease the font-size in there.

@media (max-width: 868px) {
    .navbar .menu-list li a{
         font-size: 16px; // for example
         margin-left: -100%;
         transition: 0.6s cubic-bezier(0.68, -0.55, 0.265, 
         1.55);
    }
}

I see some issues in your styles that have proven to be problematic for your design. For sake of demonstrating the media-queries behavior, I have deleted all your media queries and made just one that points to your <ul> and your logo, which appears to be the focal point in this example.

Please see the CSS changes I made between /* Media Start & /* Media End */. Also, my suggestion, if you are flexing the navbar, would be to use display: flex; instead of inline-flex. Then you can add justify-content: space-between; to properly align your nav components. Next, this is just out of preference, but I wouldn't suggest spacing your li's with margin-left because then you get left margin on your "Fireplaces" <li> which is just unnecessary margin. I used gap: 10px; as an alternative.

Please see the changes to the logo as well. With this correct structure for your media-queries, I believe it will be much easier for you to manipulate. Without being able to see your image or the size of it, it's challenging to give you an exact height & width so adjust the 25px around as necessary. Finally, setting font-sizes on logos or images won't be useful, unless there is a text element within the containing parent div of the image or logo.
