Novice Questions Spacing

I have been experimenting building a home page. I was able to build a banner with navigation bar, but things get confusing after that. Under the banner I placed a grid and containers in the grid boxes. At this point I get confused about best practices for spacing. There is the Grid and the Containers. At this point I made changes to margins and padding in both components. Is this correct or am I missing something? No, I don’t write code. I guess this is where pre made templates will be helpful to people like myself. I’d like to see more beginner videos and perhaps something on the layout and spacing controls.


Use the Gap settings on the grid. No need to adjust margins on every container.

Thank you. I also found a video on the Layout and Inset that was useful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WZ0zacUgTI&t=7s

You can place your images directly in the grid (no need for containers in grids unless you need more control).

Here’s a quick video of me putting together something similar to what you have above…

Hope it helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.

btw. I’ll try and do some proper video tutorials on the basics of these types of layouts to get users up and running — Keep an eye out for those!

Just be aware, that you need to use the same image sizes if you want a consistent look.
