How can I make the elements on my contact page smaller and move them to the top?
Short Answer: To make the elements on your contact page smaller and move them to the top, you need to edit the container that holds these elements. By accessing the container settings, adjusting the margin from the top, and repositioning it, you can achieve the layout change you want.
Full Explanation
All elements on your contact page, such as the left menu and contact details, are typically enclosed within containers or squares. To adjust their size and position, you must first identify and select the container where these elements reside. For example, if you want to move the “Contact Us” section upwards or reduce its size, this requires editing the specific container that holds it.
Once you access the container’s settings, go to the styling options found under “Style” and then “Advance.” Here, you can edit the margins to control the spacing around the container. By altering the top margin, you can move the container closer to the top of the page.
Step-by-Step Breakdown
- Identify the container holding the elements you want to adjust (such as the “Contact Us” square).
- Right-click on this container and choose “Edit Container.”
- Navigate to the “Style” tab, then proceed to the “Advance” section.
- Locate the margin controls and click on the link icon to unlink the margins, allowing you to modify margins individually.
- Find the margin setting for the top and start by reducing it. Click downwards to decrease the margin value until the container moves up.
- Adjust the margin from the left if needed to align the container all the way to the left.
Real Examples
For instance, if you have your contact details on the left menu and it appears too low on the page, you can select the corresponding container for that section. By editing the container and reducing the top margin, the contact details move upward, appearing closer to the top of the page as desired.
Common Mistakes
- Not un-linking the margin settings before adjusting: margin values are often linked together. Trying to change one margin without unlinking might adjust all margins unintentionally.
- Editing the wrong container: Make sure you right-click and edit the correct container that holds the elements you want to move or resize.
- Ignoring the style and advance settings: These options are essential for margin and spacing adjustments.
FAQs
