What is the recommended maximum width for a Webflow div block container to fit most display screen sizes, excluding the standard 940px container, considering the large screen size of an iMac Retina?

TL;DR

To ensure a Webflow div block container fits well on most display screens, including large Retina displays, follow these guidelines:

1. Use a Maximum Width of 1280px to 1440px

  • 1280px: A widely accepted maximum width to maintain readability and avoid excessive stretching on large screens.
  • 1440px: Works well for desktops with extra horizontal space while maintaining a structured layout.

2. Set a Responsive Max Width

  • Use max-width: 1280px or 1440px instead of fixed pixel widths to allow flexibility.
  • Use percentages (max-width: 90% or 80%) for fluid resizing on different screens.

3. Center the Container with Auto Margins

  • Set margin: 0 auto in Webflow to center the container within the browser window.
  • Use padding (padding-left and padding-right) to provide extra breathing space if needed.

4. Ensure Responsiveness on Smaller Screens

  • For tablets: Keep max-width around 960px.
  • For mobile views: Use a 100% width or a max-width of around 480px.

Summary

A 1280px to 1440px max-width is ideal for large screens like an iMac Retina, ensuring content remains readable without excessive stretching. Use auto margins and fluid widths for a responsive and adaptive layout.
