I saw many one about height: 100vh; for hero section is fine. But that width: 100vw; where is a good way or for a solution to use? Because not use a lot that property for sure! :slight_smile:

Any idea?

I suppose you would use it whenever you wanted an element to span the view’s entire width. For example, if you had a main div that you wanted to span the entire page, but not exceed it, you could you width: 100vw or width: 100%.

As you mention width: 100vw or width: 100%. What is difference? I mean vw is the max of visible screen size and 100% is from element about something like this not?

That looks good to me. As for the difference, I had to look that up myself. I found this on StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/a/25225716

He says the difference is vw takes the body’s margin into account whereas 100% does not include the margin.

I hope that helps.
