How to remove unwanted whitespace below nav?

I am trying to remove the whitespace below this Bootstrap 3 navbar. I have tried setting margin-bottom to zero for the nav, and I have tried to do vertical-align: middle to both divs.

<nav class="navbar navbar-default">
  <div class="container-fluid">
    <div class="navbar-header">
      <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">WebSiteName</a>
    </div>
    <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
      <li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Page 1</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Page 2</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Page 3</a></li>
    </ul>
  </div>
</nav>
<div class="container-fluid">
<a href="#">Home</a>
</div>

Setting a margin-bottom is the right way to go about it, you just need to increase the specificity of your css selector if your css is declared before your bootstrap link. One way to increase your selector specificity is by using nav.navbar as your selector.

See working example below:

nav.navbar {
  margin-bottom: 0;
}

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-BVYiiSIFeK1dGmJRAkycuHAHRg32OmUcww7on3RYdg4Va+PmSTsz/K68vbdEjh4u" crossorigin="anonymous">

<nav class="navbar navbar-default">
  <div class="container-fluid">
    <div class="navbar-header">
      <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">WebSiteName</a>
    </div>
    <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
      <li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Page 1</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Page 2</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Page 3</a></li>
    </ul>
  </div>
</nav>
<div class="container-fluid">
  <a href="#">Home</a>
</div>
