Community Q&A:
Width of template in website builder thumbnail is not the same in Preview
When I look through the templates in Step 2 (Design), there are narrow ones and wider ones. Why is it that when I have chosen a narrow one (I have tried quite a number) and Preview it (by clicking on the Preview button), the "site" is much wider, filling the whole width of the screen?
It's the narrow one that I need.

Hello mingab, and thanks for your question. Unfortunately the width of your site is going to be directly controlled by the template that you've selected, and in most cases the template's tables are set to a width of 100% even if in the initial thumbnail preview it might look skinnier. After you actually publish the Builder site to the web-server, you can go directly to the pages and manually modify the style if you'd like. In your case if you wanted to make the width smaller, typically you'd look for the following line in the code: <TABLE CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" BORDER="0" class="main-bg" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;"> You'd want to change that to something along the lines of: <TABLE CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" BORDER="0" class="main-bg" style="width: 75%; height: 100%; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"> You can modify your pages after they're published by using cPanel's File Manager, we have an article explaining how to use this below: Using cPanel's File Manager Unfortunately this change would need to be made on all of your pages, for instance you'd need to modify your (index.html) page as well as (page1.html), (page2.html), etc... Please let us know if you have any questions at all. - Jacob |
