FAQs

Q1. What steps can be taken to create a completely responsive webpage within the platform?

A1. Try to wrap all your elements inside the blocks and set the block’s layout to Vertical or Horizontal depending on your need.

Try to always set the element’s width as ‘relative’ and modify its value in percentages, and not as pixels using the Fixed width and height.
