Ive taken CBroe’s comment and made a small example to demonstrate for you. From Cbroe The "* selector has eliminated the default padding-left the ul would get from the user agent stylesheet, and the list item bullets would normally display in that space."

This snippet below show’s you what happens when we change the styling on the padding-left for the ul element. In the example we are cycling between 0px, 10px, 12px, and 20px
let button = document.getElementById("Change") let list = document.getElementById("menu") let disp = document.getElementById("pad") let style = ["0px","10px","12px", "20px"] let count = 0 button.addEventListener("click",()=>{ count = count + 1 list.style.paddingLeft = style[count%style.length] disp.innerHTML = `Current Padding-left: ${style[count%style.length]}` })

* { padding: 0; margin: 0; box-sizing: border-box; }

<button id="Change">Change Padding</button> <div id="pad">Current Padding-left: 0px</div> <ul id="menu"> <li><a href="index.html" class="active">Home</a></li> <li><a href="sign-up.html">Sign Up</a></li> <li><a href="contact-us.html">Contact us</a></li> </ul>
You’ll notice that at 10px and 12px we can begin to see the bullet points coming from the left side of the screen as space is made for them to appear

I hope this interactive example helps you understand whats going on better!

The issue is styling of the list. Fix with this padding as seen in the CSS.

.what-we-offer .offer-list {
  /* cheesy thumbs up "icon" */
  list-style-type: "1F44D";
  display: grid;
  /* fix for the issue IN the question */
  padding-left: 3em;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr;
}

Steps

Remove as many id’s as you can – if is is not specifically needed remove it
Style using classes not id’s. Use of an ID forces multiples in CSS like #hero-1, #hero-2 since they MUST be unique in the document; use id’s for code and things like for on labels etc.
Avoid using tags in CSS; especially singular like h1, ul etc.
- Excpetion: using tags like <header>, ‘, ` are more descriptive in nature and OK to style with methinks due to the specific commonly observed/use
Use good names for classes to avoid comments in CSS; less to parse and clarity is enhanced
Use class names like "my-container" in classes to enhance use clarity
Try not to use things like <br>; use classes and padding/margins instead to make style easier to achieve/modify
Remove unneeded comments like /*Main*/ main { – we can see it is main; if not rename "main" to be more clear
Don’t put comments in HTML unless something is very unusual; use good names/classes etc. like  <main>
