What is causing the hero section and sections below it to not stretch the entire width of the screen in mobile view on the website being worked on in Webflow?

If the hero section and sections below it are not stretching the entire width of the screen in mobile view on a website being worked on in Webflow, there are a few potential causes for this issue:

  1. Container Width: Check the width of the container element that contains the hero section and sections below it. Make sure it is set to 100% width to ensure it fills the screen horizontally.

  2. Viewport Settings: By default, Webflow sets the viewport width to the device's logical width. However, if you have made changes to the viewport settings, it may affect how the sections are displayed. To fix this, go to Project Settings > Design > Global Styles > Custom Code, and remove any custom viewport settings.

  3. Padding and Margins: Check for any padding or margins applied to the hero section and sections below it. If there are any values set, try removing or adjusting them to see if that resolves the issue.

  4. Overflow or Hidden Elements: It's possible that there is an element within the hero section or sections below it that is set to overflow or hidden. This can prevent the content from stretching the full width of the screen. Double-check all of the elements within these sections and ensure that their overflow and display properties are properly set.

  5. Breakpoint Settings: Webflow allows you to set different styles for different device breakpoints (desktop, tablet, mobile). Verify that the styles for the hero section and sections below it are set correctly for the mobile breakpoint. It's possible that there is a style applied at the mobile breakpoint that is limiting the width.

By addressing these potential causes, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue of the hero section and sections below it not stretching the entire width of the screen in mobile view on your Webflow website.
