Exciting news! Our CRM’s latest update redefines how you manage design layouts with the all-new Margin & Padding Control in the Funnel Builder. This isn’t just a surface-level refresh—it’s a fundamental upgrade that brings the CSS box model to life through an intuitive, visual editing experience.

For the first time, users can fine-tune padding properties and margin values with pixel-perfect accuracy, all without touching a line of code. Whether you’re adjusting the space between elements, tweaking the distance between a paragraph block and its parent element, or experimenting with negative margins to overlap adjacent content, the control is literally at your fingertips.

You can now use sliders, absolute units, or pre-canned presets to define consistent block-level spacing, apply auto margins, or modify left padding for cleaner alignment. Resetting to default spacing settings is just a click away, making experimentation both safe and productive.

The result? Faster workflows, consistent design, and a more polished user experience. With enhanced padding control and precise margin box adjustments, your pages will feel more deliberate, spacious, and beautifully arranged—just like a well-designed website should.

This is not just an update—it’s the future of visual layout customization.

Why Does Margin & Padding Matter?

Understanding the difference between margin and padding is crucial in any design environment. The margin property defines the distance between elements, creating space outside the element’s border. The padding property, on the other hand, is all about the space inside an element, between its content and its border.

This visual separation forms the backbone of effective layouts—especially when dealing with elements like a paragraph element, badge element, or Product Image element. Without correct spacing, neighboring elements might appear cluttered, harming both design clarity and the overall user experience.

With the New Margin & Padding Control, we've built the ability to control everything from horizontal margins and left padding to the padding box and margin box, ensuring designers maintain consistent spacing and a strong visual hierarchy.

Why Does It Matter To Your Business?

Enhanced Design Control with Precision at Your Fingertips

• Design flexibility plays a crucial role in how effectively your brand communicates online. With the new margin controls and padding settings, you can now fine-tune every section, button, and paragraph element with remarkable accuracy. Whether it’s adjusting the left margin of a headline or tightening the padding values around a badge element, you gain complete control over the spacing between elements, helping your site feel more deliberate and polished. This not only sharpens your visual hierarchy, but also leads to a more consistent user experience—a key factor in reducing bounce rates and improving conversions.

Effortless Navigation for Designers of All Skill Levels

• Whether you're a full-stack developer or someone launching their first funnel, the new interface is designed with ease-of-use in mind. Thanks to an intuitive interface, you can instantly toggle between default margins, auto margin options, and absolute units like px, %, and em. Using sliders and pre-canned unit presets, there's no need to memorize the CSS margin property or consult browser developer tools. You’ll find that making micro-adjustments—like aligning a child element inside its parent container or separating visual elements in a fluid layout—takes seconds, not minutes. This streamlines the design workflow and boosts productivity.

Reset with Confidence, Not Regret

• Experimenting with custom padding or fine-tuning negative margins? Go ahead—because with one simple click, you can reset everything back to default. Whether you're exploring padding shorthand property or testing out different margin values, the reset functionality ensures your layout never spins out of control. This fosters creative freedom while preserving a fallback plan, especially when juggling multiple block-level elements or working across device modes. Say goodbye to stress, and hello to smarter, more flexible design sessions.

How To Use New Margin & Padding Control:

1. Access the sites tab from the left navigation menu and go to funnels > + New Funnel or Edit an existing one.

2. Now choose to create from blank or use a template.

3. Now click on edit button to enter the funnel builder.

4. Click on the “+” button to add a section of required size.

5. Add a row with the required number of columns.

6. Now you can add the required element form the elements list.

7. There are new features for the margin and padding like (px,%,rem etc).

8. For example, we chose “Auto” and added the margin, and you can. See the margin effect in the sections.

9. You can reset the changes by clicking on the reset button in the settings.

Visual Control Meets Smart Functionality

Spacing isn't just about making things look good—it directly impacts how your page functions. Inconsistent or excessive spacing can disrupt the user experience, especially in fluid layouts where every element adjusts dynamically. Misusing the block spacing feature, applying extra margin, or overlooking the effects of margin collapse can quickly lead to layout issues, making even a polished design appear broken or disjointed.

That’s exactly why the new Margin & Padding Control update in our CRM is a game-changer. You no longer have to rely on guesswork or manually sift through your CSS margin properties to determine if your 20px margin or 50pxbottom padding is behaving as intended. With clear visual indicators and a responsive interface, you’ll instantly see the impact of your spacing settings—whether you’re defining the distance between neighboring elements, checking the left margin on a child element, or ensuring there's proper spacing near element borders.

Even better, this control panel respects how element positioning and parent containers interact, helping avoid common pitfalls like unintentional overlaps or spacing gaps. It’s a new era of layout precision—designed for creators who want both design consistency and flawless functionality in every build.

Say Goodbye to Manual Hacks

Previously, creating a balanced layout required manual auto margin trick workarounds or fiddling with shorthand properties like the padding shorthand property. Not anymore.

The update supports:

• Auto margin alignment for centering element block components like CTAs.

• Explicit padding with pixels (e.g., 25pxright padding, 75pxleft padding).

• Visual guidance when using negative values.

• In-app documentation of how box-sizing property affects border box and content container calculations.

And for the pros: Want to define box-sizing specification per element at runtime? You can, with built-in developer feedback tools and support for Cascading Style Sheets export.

Greater Consistency Across All Devices

Responsive design requires attention to how margin to auto, CSS margins, and custom padding behave on mobile and desktop. That’s why the new controls allow layout previews across device modes, ensuring your site looks great on any screen.

Whether you're building full-width containers, experimenting with block gap styles, or customizing a button in style panel, this update ensures spacing is precise across all platforms—no need for guesswork or post-publish edits.

Designed for Real-World Scenarios

The update supports a range of real-world use cases:

1. Add a background color to a block and space it from its element in relation using left margin and top padding.

2. Use action button blocks with complete control over spacing between paragraph element and element button.

3. Align content margin properties with your theme customizer or complete theme.json file settings for block-based themes.

Every pixel of space becomes intentional—whether it’s adding space between a form submission attempt and action relevant CTA, or optimizing the distance through padding around a class selector element.

Unified Experience, One Update Away

This upgrade doesn’t just make things look better—it makes them feel better. When design consistency meets efficient design process, the results show up in faster page builds, fewer alignment issues, and a more enjoyable design experience for all users.

So whether you're a full-stack developer, a designer, or someone exploring your first funnel build, this update makes sure you no longer have to worry about:

• Misaligned visual elements

• Forgotten block margins

• Clunky manual spacing fixes

• Inconsistent CSS styling between sections

Everything works seamlessly with your existing CSS website projects, HubSpot Marketing Hub, or advanced marketing functionalities.
