How can I vertically center a container inside a section in Webflow? Thanks.

To vertically center a container inside a section in Webflow, you can use a combination of CSS properties and flexbox. Here's how you can achieve this:

Step 1: Add a Section and a Container
First, add a Section element to your page by dragging it from the left-hand panel. Then, add a Container element inside the Section.

Step 2: Set the Section's Height
In the Styles panel, make sure the Section is set to a specific height (e.g., 100vh for full viewport height) or a relative height like 50% if you want it to take up half of the available vertical space.

Step 3: Enable Flexbox
Select the Section, go to the Styles panel, and enable Flexbox by clicking on the display settings dropdown. Choose "Flex" as the display property.

Step 4: Center Vertically and Horizontally
Now that flexbox is enabled, you can center the content vertically and horizontally. Select the Container inside the Section, go to the flex settings in the Styles panel, and apply the following properties:

- Set "Justify" to "Center": This centers the items along the main axis (horizontally in this case).
- Set "Align" to "Center": This centers the items along the cross axis (vertically in this case).

Step 5: Adjust Padding and Margins (Optional)
Depending on your design, you might want to adjust the padding and margins of the Container and/or Section elements to create the desired spacing.

That's it! Your container should now be vertically centered within the section. Remember to preview and test your design in different viewport sizes to ensure it remains centered as the screen dimensions change.

Note: If you have multiple elements inside the Container and you want them to be vertically centered individually as well, you can apply flexbox properties to those elements too.
