To make the "hero" section of your website fill 100% of the viewport browser height in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the hero section: First, select the section that you want to set as the hero section. This section usually contains the main content or imagery that you want to highlight.

  2. Open the Styles panel: On the right-hand side of the Webflow designer, click on the Styles tab to open the Styles panel.

  3. Set the height to 100vh: In the Styles panel, locate the dimension settings. In the Height field, enter 100vh which stands for 100% of the viewport height. This will set the height of the section to the full height of the browser viewport.

  4. Adjust content within the section: If the content within the hero section does not fill the entire height, you may need to adjust the content's positioning or size. You can use flexbox or grid techniques to align and position the elements within the section.

  5. Check responsiveness: Ensure that your hero section looks good on different screen sizes by using the responsive preview modes in Webflow. This will allow you to fine-tune the design and make any necessary adjustments for mobile or tablet devices.

By following these steps, you can create a hero section in Webflow that fills 100% of the viewport browser height. This approach can help you achieve a more impactful and visually engaging website design.
