How can the vertical navigation bar be placed on either the right or left side of the homepage in Webflow?

To position a vertical navigation bar on either side of the homepage in Webflow, you need to use the Flexbox or Positioning tools.

1. Create the Navigation Bar

• Add a Div Block to the canvas and give it a meaningful class like sidebar-nav.
• Inside the Div Block, add navigation links, icons, or text elements as needed.

2. Style for Left or Right Side

• Go to the Style Panel for the sidebar-nav div.
• Set Position to Fixed (choose 'Fixed' from the position dropdown).
• Choose Left or Right depending on which side you want the sidebar on.
• Set Top to 0 and Bottom to 0 to make it full height.
• Set a Width (e.g., 200px) and a Background color for visibility.

3. Ensure Content Doesn’t Overlap

• If your sidebar is fixed, the page content may start behind it. Fix this by:
• Selecting your main content wrapper.
• Adding a left or right margin equal to the sidebar’s width (e.g., margin-left: 200px if the sidebar is on the left).

4. Optional: Use Flexbox Instead

• Wrap both your navigation bar and content in a parent flex container:
• Set the parent div to Display: Flex, Direction: Row.
• Put the sidebar-nav as the first or last child depending on the side:
  • First child = left side.
  • Last child = right side.

5. Make It Responsive

• Use the Webflow breakpoints to hide the sidebar or switch it to a hamburger menu on smaller devices.

Summary

Use a Fixed or Flexbox layout to place your vertical navigation bar on the left or right. Adjust content spacing and responsiveness to ensure the layout works across screen sizes.
