Pure & Simple offers you a couple website page widths: Full Width (Default) Smaller Width – 1500 pixels wide Smaller Width – 1200 pixels wide You can change this width at any time, but I would recommend that you choose it right from the start. Also remember that this theme is responsive, so regardless of the page width you choose, as the browser window gets smaller, your page will automatically adjust. Set Your Width Go to Appearance >> Customize >> Basic Settings Select your option for the Page Width setting Click Save and Publish
