To add extra space (padding or margin) under your responsive footer in Webflow, especially for wider screens where the footer touches the bottom of the screen, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the footer element: Start by selecting the footer element that you want to add extra space to. This can be done by clicking on the footer element in the web design canvas or by selecting it from the Navigator panel.

  2. Navigate to the Style panel: Once the footer element is selected, navigate to the Style panel on the right-hand side of the Webflow interface.

  3. Add padding or margin: In the Style panel, you have the option to add either padding or margin to create extra space under the footer. Padding adds space inside the element, while margin adds space outside the element.

  • To add padding: Scroll down in the Style panel until you find the "Padding" section. Here, you can adjust the values for top, right, bottom, and left padding. Increase the value of the bottom padding to add space.

  • To add margin: Alternatively, scroll down to the "Margin" section in the Style panel. You can adjust the values for top, right, bottom, and left margins. Increase the value of the bottom margin to add space.

  1. Set different values for different breakpoints: By default, the padding or margin you set will be applied to all breakpoints. However, you may want to set different values for different screen sizes to ensure a responsive design.
  • To adjust values for specific breakpoints: Click on the breakpoint icons at the top of the Style panel. This allows you to customize the padding or margin values for each breakpoint individually.
  1. Test and preview: Once you've made your adjustments, it's important to test and preview your changes. Use the Webflow preview feature to see how the extra space under the footer looks on different screen sizes, including wider screens where the footer touches the bottom.

By following these steps, you can easily add extra space (padding or margin) under your responsive footer in Webflow, ensuring it doesn't touch the bottom of the screen on wider screens.
