Center a page in Dreamweaver?

Report · Nov 21, 2019

How do I center my page in Dreamweaver? I know you probably use some type of HTML or CSS code to center the page. I am using a basic template but also have an HTML and CSS coded website I am working on as well. Any help would be much appreciated!!

Is your Template based on Bootstrap 4? If yes, there are built-in utility classes for horizontal and vertical centering.

As you will see in your template css the auto settings for margin left and margin right along with other editable appearance settings.

<html><head><style>
.container {
text-align:center;
width: 100%;
padding-right: 15px;
padding-left: 15px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
}
</style></head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12">
<h1>Your page title</h1>
<p>Your page text</p>
</div></div></div>
</body></html>

This question was already correctly answered by @anissa_thompson in 2019.

I think the OP is long gone by now, don't you? 😉

If you come across a thread via google and find solutions to something is old...

- Someone may not check the date and try it and it does not work. Browses change, OS changes, code app changes so that solution may not work any more.

- Some may not check the date and waste time implementing the solution.

If you know this does not work or found it does not work and have a modern day solution it is very helpful (And good for the forums) to post your modern day solution and note the old one wont work in x, y use cases.

This should never be discoraged, only if it is clearly spam which would have the post removed.

@Liam Dilley,

Thanks for your feedback. Page centering today is much the same as it was in 2019. The correct answer originally posted by ACP @anissa_thompson is still correct in 2021. So nothing has changed.

Although the untimely remarks offered by @Gail5ECD are not technically spam, they bring no real "food for thought" either. As everyone knows, a 100% width container cannot be centered. 😞

Should I remove Gail's remarks from public view? Perhaps so but instead I decided to lock this topic because there is nothing more to say.
