Yes, you can increase the container width in Webflow. The container width determines the width of the content within a section or a container element on your web page. By default, containers in Webflow have a width of 940 pixels, which is suitable for most designs. However, if you want to increase the container width, follow these steps:

  1. Select the container element: In the Webflow Designer, click on the container element that you want to increase the width of. The selected element will be highlighted in blue.

  2. Adjust the width property: In the right-hand sidebar, click on the "Styles" tab. Here, you can adjust the width property of the container. You can either input a specific pixel value or use percentage values to make the container width responsive.

  3. Utilize breakpoints for responsive design: If you want the container width to change at different screen sizes, you can use breakpoints. Webflow allows you to define different styles for different device sizes. To add a breakpoint, click on the "+ Add" button under the "breakpoints" section in the Styles panel. You can then customize the container width for each breakpoint.

  4. Preview and publish: After you have made the changes to the container width, you can preview your site's design by clicking the eye icon in the top-right corner of the Webflow Designer. If you are satisfied with the changes, you can publish your site for the changes to take effect.

Increasing the container width in Webflow allows you to have more flexibility in designing your website and accommodating different types of content. Just make sure to consider the responsiveness of your design to ensure it looks great on all devices.
