If I want to make a full page grid would I just put .container {max-width: 100%} ?

4,752 PointsJust use width: 100%; because in this scenario, you want to make a full-page grid, which will fill the page on any device or any screen. So you don't need max-width, because in no case do you want the width to be reduced based on any condition. It's useless to set a maximum value or minimum for the width. What you want is for the grid to cover absolutely the full page at all times. So just set the width.
