Is the page width in Webflow fixed at 940px or can it be increased to at least 1170px?

TL;DR
  • Select the default container and change its max width in the Style panel to 1170px or more.
  • Alternatively, use a custom Div Block with your desired max width and auto margins for full control.
  • Check responsiveness on smaller breakpoints and adjust styles for fluid layouts.

The default page width in Webflow is not fixed at 940px—you have full control and can increase it to 1170px or any other value you need.

1. Check the Container Element

  • The default "Container" component in Webflow is set to 940px max width on desktop.
  • This is a pre-styled element provided by Webflow, but it’s fully customizable.

2. Customize the Max Width

  • Select the container on the canvas.
  • In the Style panel, go to the Size section.
  • Change the Max Width to 1170px (or more) as needed.
  • You can also adjust padding or margin to suit your layout goals.

3. Use a Custom Div Block Instead

  • If you want complete flexibility, use a Div Block instead of the default Container.
  • Set your preferred max width (e.g., 1170px) and center it with auto left/right margins.
  • This lets you avoid the default 940px constraint entirely.

4. Ensure Responsive Settings

  • After increasing the max width, check smaller breakpoints (Tablet, Mobile) to make sure layout remains responsive.
  • Consider using % widths or VW units if you want more fluid behavior across screen sizes.

Summary

Webflow’s default container is limited to 940px, but it’s fully editable. You can increase it to 1170px or higher by modifying the default container or using a custom Div Block with a defined max width.
