How can I fix the issue of my Webflow site displaying on the left side of the screen with the right side blank when viewing on a mobile device?

TL;DR

Your Webflow site appears off-center on mobile because of a layout issue, typically caused by an overflowing element or incorrect styling. Follow these steps to fix it.

1. Check for Overflowing Elements

  • Open Webflow Designer and switch to mobile view.
  • Look for any elements extending beyond the viewport (they might be highlighted with a red dashed outline).
  • If found, select the element, go to Style → Overflow, and set it to Hidden or adjust its width.

2. Ensure Proper Width Settings

  • Select the affected container or section in Webflow.
  • Check that its Width is set to 100% and not a fixed pixel value that exceeds the mobile screen size.
  • Ensure it does not have unintended margins or padding pushing content off-screen.

3. Remove Unnecessary Fixed Positioning

  • If an element has position: fixed or absolute, it may be pushing content off-screen.
  • Try setting it to relative temporarily to see if the issue resolves.

4. Inspect the Body Element

  • Select the Body element in Webflow.
  • Ensure it does not have an unwanted margin or padding that shifts content.

5. Check Custom Code

  • Navigate to Project Settings → Custom Code and review any HTML, CSS, or JavaScript for incorrect styles that might be affecting layout.
  • Remove or temporarily disable code affecting element positioning or width.

6. Test on Multiple Devices

  • Use Webflow’s Preview mode and a real mobile device to confirm the issue is resolved.
  • If it persists, try testing on different browsers.

Summary

This issue is usually caused by overflowing elements, incorrect width settings, or misconfigured positioning styles. Fix it by checking for overflows, ensuring correct width values, inspecting the body styling, and reviewing any custom code.
