To adjust the width of your header and footer content in Webflow and have your logo on the left and menu on the right, making it almost full width, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the header or footer element: In the Webflow Designer, navigate to the page where your header or footer is located. Click on the header or footer element to select it.

  2. Adjust the width: In the right-hand sidebar, under the Styles tab, you can modify the width of your header or footer.

  • If you want to make it almost full width, set the width to a percentage value like 90% or 95%.
  • If you want it to be an exact width, use pixels (px) as the unit of measurement. For example, you can set the width to 1200px for a 1200 pixel-wide header or footer.
  1. Create a flex container: To position your logo on the left and menu on the right, you can use flexbox.
  • Select the header or footer element and go to the Styles tab.
  • Under Display, choose Flex.
  • This will automatically create a flex container that allows you to control the alignment and positioning of the elements within it.
  1. Add your logo and menu: Inside the flex container, add your logo and menu elements. You can use Webflow's rich set of design features to style and position these elements.

  2. Adjust alignment and spacing: Within the flex container, you can control the alignment and spacing between the logo and menu.

  • To position the logo on the left, select the logo element and go to the Styles tab. Under Flex, choose Start or Left for the Justify option.
  • To position the menu on the right, select the menu element and go to the Styles tab. Under Flex, choose End or Right for the Justify option.
  1. Fine-tune the layout: Depending on your design requirements, you may need to adjust other properties like padding, margin, or flex-grow to achieve the desired layout.
  • For example, you can apply padding to create space between the logo and menu, or adjust the flex-grow value to control how much each element grows to fill the available space.
  1. Preview and optimize: After making the desired adjustments, use Webflow's preview mode to see how your header or footer looks on different devices and screen sizes. Fine-tune the design as needed to ensure responsiveness and a visually appealing layout.

With these steps, you can easily adjust the width of your header and footer content in Webflow, positioning your logo on the left and menu on the right in an almost full-width layout.
