your "side nav" is position fixed causing it to obscure anything on the left of the page

Yeah I know I want the left to start at the right of the side nav But when i try adding stuff it goes on the bottom left of the page and adds a white bar bellow the grey And the h1 gets hidden by the side nav Do i need to add a div And give it a margin-left of 250 px?

try starting with a simpler codepen, where it is just two boxes you could use flex or grid here

I dont understand what you mean Yeah i suck at flex And never tried grid I made most of the side nav with flex I wouldve thought a margin left would work?

html,body{
  margin:0;
  height: 100%;
}
.page-container{
  background: blue;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  position: relative;
  display: flex;
}
.box1{
  background:red;
  width: 100%;
  max-width: 250px;
}
.box2{
  background: purple;
  width: 100%;
}

html,body{
  margin:0;
  height: 100%;

.page-container{
  background: blue;

.box2{

}

This is a simple demo with flex

try starting with a clean slate and making the whole page a flexbox, where the sidebar is a flex item and the page content a flex item, like I showed you in my screenshots the way you are doing it is not at all responsive and pretty jank tbh
