Start by creating a new page or opening an existing one and add a regular section to it. Open the section settings and modify the width and max width in the sizing settings.

  • Width: 25vw (Desktop), 60vw (Tablet), 80vw (Phone)
  • Max Width: 25vw (Desktop), 60vw (Tablet), 80vw (Phone)

  • Bottom: 9vw
  • Top Padding: 0px
  • Bottom Padding: 0px
