I’m working on a website based on a 1440px Figma design. But I’m not sure what to do with the extra space on 1920px screens. Should I just center everything with a max-width? Or let some parts grow wider?
I’m worried about messing up the look and feel of the design. It looks so clean at 1440px. But if I stretch it, it might not look as good.
I need to decide soon. It’ll affect how I build the whole site. Has anyone dealt with this before? What worked for you? Any tips would be great!
I’m thinking about using a fixed max-width container. But I’m not 100% sure. What do you guys think is the best way to handle this?
As someone who’s grappled with this issue, I can share what’s worked well for me. I’ve found that a hybrid approach often yields the best results. Keep your main content constrained to 1440px max-width and centered, but allow certain elements to expand.
For instance, let full-width hero images or background colors extend to the edges of the screen. This creates a sense of immersion without compromising your core layout. I’ve also had success with slightly increasing whitespace and padding on wider screens – it breathes life into the design without drastically altering it.
One trick I’ve used is to create ‘breakout’ sections where specific content can expand beyond the main container. This adds visual interest and takes advantage of the extra real estate on larger screens.
Remember, it’s all about striking a balance between maintaining your design’s integrity and optimizing for different viewports. Don’t be afraid to iterate and test different approaches to see what works best for your specific project.
hey there! ive used a centered max-width container on wider screens.
it keeps the design clean and intact. try using relative spacing to avoid stretchin. it worked wel on my last project!
I’ve faced this dilemma before, and after experimenting with various approaches, I found that a flexible container with a max-width works best. Set your main content to max-width: 1440px and center it. This preserves the design integrity on larger screens while allowing some elements to expand.
For background elements or full-width sections, let them stretch to the full viewport width. This creates a nice balance between maintaining your core layout and utilizing the extra space on wider screens.
Consider adding subtle responsive adjustments for larger screens, like slightly increased padding or font sizes. This can enhance readability without drastically altering your design. Remember, it’s about finding the right balance between consistency and adaptability.
