What is the best way to position an image beside text in a container using Webflow?

To position an image beside text in a container using Webflow, you should use a layout method that ensures responsiveness and alignment. Flexbox is usually the best choice for this setup.

1. Use a Flex Container

• Drag a Div Block onto the canvas and give it a class (e.g., “ImageTextWrapper”).
• In the Style panel, set the Display to Flex.
• Choose Horizontal (Row) as the direction.
• Set Align: Stretch or Align: Start depending on your vertical alignment preference.
• Set Justify: Start, Center, or Space Between depending on horizontal layout needs.

2. Add Image and Text Elements

• Inside the Flex Container, add an Image element and add a Text Block or Paragraph next to it.
• You can also drag in two Div Blocks inside the Flex Container and place your image in one and text in the other—this allows more control.

3. Style Each Element

• Select the Image and set a fixed width (e.g., 150px or 30%) or use “max-width” to keep it responsive.
• Style the text block: add padding or margins as needed to avoid overlap or tight spacing.
• Use responsive units (%, vw, rem) to make the layout adjust nicely on different screen sizes.

4. Make It Responsive

• In Tablet and Mobile breakpoints, consider switching the Flex direction to Vertical (Column) so the image stacks above or below the text.
• Use the Flex setting: Direction: Column in smaller breakpoints.

Summary

Use a Flexbox row container to place the image and text side by side, and adjust their width, alignment, and spacing as needed. This method is responsive, clean, and easy to manage across all breakpoints.
