How can I make my website wider in Webflow for larger monitors?

TL;DR
  • Increase the container width in the Style Panel or use 100% width for sections.
  • Avoid Webflow’s default Container element, as it has a fixed width.
  • Adjust Grid or Flexbox settings to allow for a wider layout.
  • Use Custom CSS if necessary to override Webflow’s default constraints.
  • Ensure the design remains responsive across all screen sizes.

If your Webflow site looks too narrow on larger monitors, you can adjust its container width or use a fluid design approach for better responsiveness.

1. Increase the Default Container Width

  • Select the main container that holds your content.
  • In the Style Panel, locate the Width setting.
  • Change it from the default 960px (or similar) to a larger value like 1200px or 1440px.
  • Ensure Max Width is set appropriately or use 100% for fluid layouts.

2. Use a Full-Width Layout

  • If using Sections or Div Blocks, set their Width to 100%.
  • Ensure Max Width is either set to a large value (e.g., 1400px+) or left blank.
  • Avoid using Webflow’s default Container element, as it has a fixed width (960px by default).

3. Adjust Grid or Flexbox Settings

  • If using Grid, increase the column sizes or specify a larger Max Width.
  • If using Flexbox, ensure child elements are not constrained by a parent with a fixed width.

4. Add Custom CSS (Optional)

  • If Webflow’s settings don’t provide enough flexibility, use Custom Code in the Page Settings:
  • Add this inside Before Tag:
    <style> .w-container { max-width: 1400px !important; } </style>
  • Replace 1400px with any preferred width.

Summary

Increase the container width, set sections to 100% width, adjust grid/flexbox settings, and use custom CSS if needed. Ensure the design remains responsive for all screen sizes.
