To fix the issue of all your content moving to the left margin when publishing your Webflow portfolio website, follow these steps:

Check your layout settings: Make sure that your layout settings are correct and set up properly. Open your project in the Webflow Designer and go to the "Layout" tab. Ensure that you have set the maximum width of your website to an appropriate value and that the alignment is set to center.
Verify your margins and padding: Check the margins and padding of your elements to ensure that they are not causing your content to move to the left margin. Select each element individually, and in the Style panel, review the margin and padding values. Adjust them accordingly to align your content correctly.
Review your positioning: If your content is still not aligning properly, check the positioning of your elements. In the Style panel, go to the Position section and make sure that everything is set to relative or absolute positioning as required. Adjust the positioning options to correct any misalignments.
Consider using the Flexbox layout: The Flexbox layout is a powerful tool for creating responsive and flexible layouts. If you're experiencing issues with content alignment, try using the Flexbox layout to handle the positioning of your elements. It allows you to easily center your content both vertically and horizontally.
Test in different devices and browsers: Make sure to test your website on different devices and browsers to ensure that the content stays centered. Responsive design can sometimes cause alignment issues on certain screen sizes or browsers. Adjust your CSS to accommodate different viewports and ensure a consistent alignment across devices.

By following these steps, you should be able to fix the issue of your content moving to the left margin when publishing your Webflow portfolio website. Remember to preview and test your changes before publishing to ensure that everything looks and functions as intended.
