How can I remove the horizontal scroll white space on the right side of the About page in Webflow?

To remove the horizontal scroll white space on the right side of a page in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Inspect the page: Start by inspecting the page using your browser's developer tools. This will help you identify the cause of the white space and locate the element responsible for it.

  2. Check for overflowing elements: Look for elements on the page that may be extending beyond the boundaries of the viewport, causing the horizontal scroll.

  3. Adjust element width: Once you've identified the element causing the issue, adjust its width to ensure it fits within the viewport. You can do this by selecting the element in the Webflow Designer and adjusting its width using the width settings in the style panel.

  4. Use negative margins: If adjusting the width alone doesn't solve the issue, you can try using negative margins to pull the element back into the viewport. Set negative margin values in the style panel to shift the element to the left.

  5. Check positioning and alignment: Verify that the positioning and alignment settings of all elements on the page are correct. Incorrect positioning or alignment can cause elements to extend outside the viewport, resulting in horizontal scroll.

  6. Remove unnecessary interactions: If you have any interactions or animations applied to elements on the page, check if they are pushing the elements beyond the viewport. Disable or modify these interactions as needed.

  7. Inspect and adjust container elements: Sometimes, container elements (e.g., divs or sections) can have unintended padding or margin values that cause the page to exceed the viewport width. Inspect and adjust these container elements to ensure they are not contributing to the horizontal scroll issue.

  8. Preview and test: After making adjustments, preview the page in the Webflow Designer and test it to ensure that the horizontal scroll white space has been removed.
