I'm used to just adding a background to the body that then takes over the whole page, but with this website they're interesting in that they split it up. If I just use divs, they have whitepsace on the sides, unlike with body.

If I just use divs, they have whitepsace on the sides, unlike with body.

Set the margin and padding on the body element to 0.
