To reduce the height of a page in Webflow and make the body fit your desired height, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the Webflow Designer: Log in to your Webflow account and open the project that contains the page you want to modify.

  2. Select the body element: In the Designer, locate the body element in the Navigator panel on the left side of the screen. Click on it to select it.

  3. Adjust the page height: With the body element selected, go to the Styles panel on the right side of the screen. Scroll down to the "Sizing" section.

  4. Change the height value: By default, the height of the body is set to "auto," which allows it to adjust its height based on the content. To reduce the height to your desired value, click on the dropdown menu next to "Height" and choose either "Pixels," "Percentage," or "Viewport Height (VH)."

  • If you choose "Pixels," you can enter a specific number in the input field. For example, if you want a height of 500 pixels, enter "500" in the input field.
  • If you choose "Percentage," you can enter a percentage value. For example, if you want the body height to be 50% of the viewport height, enter "50%" in the input field.
  • If you choose "Viewport Height (VH)," you can enter a value relative to the viewport height. For example, if you want the body height to be 80% of the viewport height, enter "80vh" in the input field.
  1. Adjust other elements if necessary: Changing the height of the body may affect the placement and layout of other elements on the page. Make sure to adjust their position and sizing if needed. You can do this by selecting each element in the Navigator and modifying their properties in the Styles panel.

  2. Preview and publish: Once you are satisfied with the changes, preview the page in the Designer to see how it looks. If everything looks good, publish the changes to make them live on your website.

By following these steps, you can easily reduce the height of a page in Webflow to fit your desired height. Remember to consider the impact on other elements and ensure that your content remains accessible and visually appealing.
