Title: Default CSS / Standard Directory Set Up
ThreadText: # Default CSS / Standard Directory Set Up
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2016-09-23)
  
  I am new to CiviCRM environment.
  
  My company asked me if I could modify the website to not have so much blank space (white space) on the sides. They want more content on the screen.
  
  Please excuse my terminology. I am still learning the CRM terminology via Market Research.
  
  Where could I find the CSS to modify this portion?
  
  Is there a standard directory set up for CiviCRM?
  
  Is it best practice to set a new CiviCRM for each project?
  
  Thank you in advance.
