If you’ve read or watched any of my previous Squarespace tutorials then it will come as no surprise to hear that I love Fluid Engine.

In my opinion it’s changed the game for Squarespace web design, however there are a couple of tweaks that you can make to make it even better. You just have to know what and how.

One of those is removing the grid padding. If you’ve used Fluid Engine then you’ll know that the grids are padded, meaning each cell or grid section has padding around it. This means when you add multiple elements to your section, they don’t touch or fill the space.

Sometimes though, you want them to touch or fill the space. If so, you need to remove the grid padding.

To remove grid padding on fluid engine it’s super simple. Head to the section that you want to remove grid padding from and select edit section.

In the panel that appears the option is right there. You simply need to hit the Gap icon that shows no gaps or padding.

And it really is as easy as that. In this panel you’ll also see an option to toggle on fill screen, if you want your sections to fill the screen then guess what? Toggle it on!
