The site template largely determines the popularity of a virtual resource among users. Particular attention should be paid to the width of the site template, including the width of the page with the text. The most optimal option is the width of an A4 sheet with indents on both sides. This line size does not cause eye fatigue, such as a wide pattern that fits the entire monitor screen. This means that it helps the visitor stay on the site longer.

Instructions
Step 1
There are static and dynamic website templates. In static ones, it will be difficult to change anything, including the width, for a person ignorant of site building - for this you will have to re-read a lot of literature, and this will take a lot of time. On the other hand, you can mark the width of the template in a dynamic structure yourself, in just a couple of minutes. To understand which template is installed, go to the admin panel of the site or blog.
Step 2
Find the section of the site called "Templates Menu" and open it. In the list that appears, the template installed on the site is indicated. Hover over the arrow and click on the name of the template. Its parameters will open. If the template is not stationary, but with the ability to change some parameters, you will see a list of them with interactive windows in which you can set any required size: the width of the entire template, the width of the first, second and subsequent columns.
Step 3
As a rule, all parameters are in English. To resize the entire template, find the TEMPLATE WIDTH designation and set the required template width in pixels (px) in the interactive window. Then click on the "Save changes" symbol and check the result using the "View" menu button.
Step 4
If the site has a stationary template, then changing its width will not be so easy. This will require specialized knowledge of web design, layout, HTML and CSS coding. It is better not to experiment on your own, but to seek help from a specialist. Otherwise, you can harm the entire site. Since replacing the digital value of the width parameter in HTML and CSS codes does not always lead to the desired result.
