How can I align blocks at the start/left and at the end/right inside the same container in Webflow? Is using 'columns' and setting the single columns to flexbox the correct way to achieve this?
To align blocks at the start/left and at the end/right inside the same container in Webflow, you can use flexbox. Here's how you can achieve this:
Create a container: Start by creating a container element that will hold the blocks you want to align.
Add a flex container class: Select the container element and give it a class. In the Styles panel, click on the "+" button next to the class field and add a new class. Then, enable flexbox for this class by checking the "Display: Flex" option in the Flexbox tab.
Align blocks to the left/start: To align the blocks to the left/start of the container, you can use the "justify-content" property. Set the value to "flex-start" or "start". This will align the blocks along the main axis of the container.
Align blocks to the right/end: To align the blocks to the right/end of the container, you can use the "justify-content" property. Set the value to "flex-end" or "end". This will align the blocks to the opposite side of the main axis.
Adjust spacing: You can further adjust the spacing between the blocks by using the "gap" property or by adding margins or padding to the individual blocks.
Using columns and setting the single columns to flexbox can also achieve the desired result, but it adds unnecessary complexity. Flexbox is a cleaner and simpler solution that allows you to align blocks easily.
In summary, here are the steps to align blocks at the start/left and at the end/right inside the same container in Webflow using flexbox:
- Create a container element.
- Add a flex container class to the container.
- Set the "justify-content" property to "flex-start" or "start" to align blocks to the left/start.
- Set the "justify-content" property to "flex-end" or "end" to align blocks to the right/end.
- Fine-tune the spacing between the blocks if needed.
Make sure to apply these steps to the specific elements in your Webflow project to achieve the desired alignment of blocks within a container.
