  • Stretching an element
  • FAQs
Stretch your elements to full width to make your site more responsive. Stretched elements span the width of your browser, regardless of screen size. Once you've stretched an element you can add margins, creating space on its left and right. You can set the margins in pixels so they stay the same across all devices, or in percentage so they adjust to every visitor's browser. The stretch option is only available for certain elements. See our FAQs for the full list.
