Containers & Columns

Once a blank page is added, you will see the default container (sometimes called fluid container) which shows the full area of your screen. You can only add the elements inside the containers. 

You can always add new containers. You can have as many containers as you want in one page. Add a new container each time you want to start a new width or new content with a different background style. The container can be added vertically only. 

The selected element would show the black bar at the top.

Opt-in Box Selected

Click the Style tab to select the style and width as well as the Background Options. You can put the color, image or an .mp4 as the background of the selected container.

  • Width is the fixed width of the page area. 100% is to make the page area auto-full screen.

Column is used to divide the container vertically into multiple parts so that you can place several elements next to each other. The number of the columns you can have in one container is based on 12 numerics. That means you can have 2, 3, 4, 6 & 12 columns equally. A column acts as a container so you can set up the background differently for each of them.
