To make the container wider in Webflow and accommodate modern devices, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open your project in the Webflow Designer.
  2. Select the container element that you want to make wider.
  3. In the right panel under the "Styles" tab, locate the "Size" section.
  4. Adjust the "Width" property of the container to a larger value. You can specify the width in pixels, percentages, or other supported units.
  5. You can also adjust the "Max Width" property of the container to control the maximum width it can grow to.

Setting a max-width of 1170px can be a good option, as it allows your content to be displayed comfortably on wider screens, while still preventing it from becoming too stretched on smaller screens. However, it's essential to consider responsive design principles and test your layout on various devices to ensure optimal user experience.

It's worth noting that Webflow provides built-in responsive design tools that allow you to create fluid and responsive layouts. Instead of setting a fixed width, you can utilize percentage-based widths, flexbox, or grid layouts to ensure your container adapts well to different screen sizes.

By following these best practices, you can create a wider container that is responsive and accommodates modern devices effectively.
