This is essentially what I'm trying to do:
I have an image I want to use as the background for the webpage, and I want to put content over it, while keeping everything responsive so it's always centered!. I'm using Foundation 4, which is making things tricky (but I want to learn how to do it this way). The black boxes will be images, and the idea behind this is that everything can remain responsive.
The black boxes are supposed to be centered. I've tried using absolute positioning for the boxes and forgoing trying to put them in a , but it doesn't seem to work too well (i could be doing something wrong).
Overlapping anything in Foundation 4 seems tough. I must be going about it wrong somehow. Thanks for your time!
I'd need to check your HTML code structure to confirm but I think what you want is .small-centered and .large-centered (they work the same as .small-1,.large-1 but for centering).

Also for the boxes I hope you are using Foundation's Block-Grid for your boxes - it will make your boxing a lot easier to do.

I am trying to make my nav bar sit parallel with my logo but I'm having difficulty doing this.
First of all, when I enter the code for the image, the image afterwards doesn't display at the top of the page.
Instead, it sits about 40px below the page. I have tried using floats, but have had no luck.
I have created a negative value of -20px for the logo to sit further at the top of the page but would like to know if that is normal practice in CSS
I have tried looking at youtube videos but the code they share doesn't seem to work on my project. I'm just wondering whether the image may be a bit too big for the header
I would definitely recommend using Flexbox. It takes the hard work of setting floats and setting things in a manual way out of your way. Here is a cheat sheet and a little background into using Flexbox. It's also responsive too.
The Flexbox Layout (Flexible Box) module (a W3C Candidate Recommendation as of October 2017) aims at providing a more efficient way to lay out, align and distribute space among items in a container, even when their size is unknown and/or dynamic (thus the word "flex").

Hope this helps.

I use the following code: bootstrap Circular progress bar using custom CSS and JS
To get a beautiful circular progress bar, but the problem, I want to make it bigger, it appears small, and when trying to do that, it becomes bad, and this is a mistake from me, is from someone who helps, please :)
Thank you, I know that the solution will be simple, but I'm not a professional in CSS
Any way to make it big with CSS?
Bootstrap circular progress bar has hardcoded values inside to be always 100px x 100px.
the easiest way to make it bigger is to use transform:scale() and make final chart rescaled to proper sizing.
See example fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/ywoat4s2/26/
The downsides of this solution is that after scaling chart may be larger than surrounding box, scaling happen as a last thing in rendering so you need to be careful to not overlap container which wraps charts.
I'm fairly new to bootstrap and I having trouble making my site do what I want it to. Hopefully someone can steer me in the right direction.
I used bootstrap to make a nice responsive grid for my site within a container. The problem I am having is that I would like my backgrounds (different backgrounds in different sections) to fill browser window while the page content stays at 1170px max-width. Is there anyway to do this?
of course. adding your own css is not that bad but make sure your css is in last (e.g , )
do this in your background telling your div
<div style="position:absolute; top:0;left:0;background-image: url('img/urbg.png');">
dont box here. experiment, play and explore. bootstrap is boxed dont get TRAP with BOOTSTRAP. its cool but you need to know when to handle design with image background. see this
CSS - Floating two elements side by side
This conversation is similar to what I am trying to achieve. I have a % based layout and have an issue either the menu will get mixed in with the content or the content will fall below the menu when the page is shrunk or viewed on a mobile phone. I've spent several hours on this and cant figure out what I am doing incorrectly.

Update:
My biggest thing was getting something that worked well with Word Press as it uses very awkward controls and element names. I tried starting with _Underscores but it doesn't seem to have helped as much as I thought it would.
The basic problem is that you are specifying percentage based layouts for some elements like menu-sidebar and main-content but you're not consistent. The menu has a min-width of 200px. What do you want to happen when 200px is greater than 15%? Inside the menu you also have elements specified with exact pixel widths — the various cssmenu maker elements.
The site is very simple — basically a header, footer, side menu, and body. Yet you have two style sheets - one with over 800 lines — and a structure with site-content containing content-area containing site-main containing content-container. It's no wonder it's causing you grief. My advice would be to start over with a simple css framework (like bootstrap mentioned by #jaun above. Keep the structure of the html as simple as possible and avoid copy-paste design with things like menus. Also rather than trying things a seeing what's wrong, describe the behavior you want at various screen sizes and make it happen.
You should use bootstrap (getbootstrap.com) you can use col-md-6 clases to do that. Also mobile phone and tablet ajustment is supported
I'm doing a website that needs to have layout such as the one here:
http://newsmartwave.net/wordpress/trego/home/homepage-1/#featured_products
I've spent 2 days researching how to do proper 2 column layout and tried different options, but none seem to work just right.
Right now I have 2 versions - http://aspenwebsites.com/mpwebsite/index.html and http://aspenwebsites.com/mpwebsite/index_alt.html
The problem with the first one is that if you reduce the height of the browser's window considerably I end up with some white space bellow the sidebar and some of my text ends up outside the border (see screenshot).
The problem with eh second one is that I don't can't place a full-screen background image behind both columns.
In addition, unlike on the sample website ( http://aspenwebsites.com/mpwebsite/index.html and http://aspenwebsites.com/mpwebsite/index_alt.html) that I'm trying to duplicate, I'd like to have a vertical scroll bar appear if browser's window reaches certain minimum height.
I know people sometimes get annoyed with types of questions, but I really just can't figure this out and I did read numerous articles and examples.
I'm not asking to write code for me, although any code samples would be most appreciated. Minimally, I was hoping for directions for some good tutorial, as I really would like to master this layout. It comes up a lot in my work and I'd like to have my own code that I have 100% understanding of rather than using Wordpress.
For the 1st one, add overflow: scroll; to the #sidebar > .row rule.
You do have a fullscreen background image in the second one. It's just that #maincontent, which is in front of it, has a background:white; rule, so you can't see it.
Edit: I did not get annoyed by the way..
