How to Use Rows & Columns for Page Structure
Before designing a page, you need to add structure using rows and columns. These container elements help organize content and create responsive layouts.
1. Understanding Columns & Rows
- Columns: Vertical containers that hold content like images, text, and buttons.
- Rows: Horizontal containers that span the entire page width, organizing multiple columns.
2. Adding Columns
- Open the Elements Panel from the left sidebar.
- Drag and drop the Columns element onto the page.
- By default, two columns are added.
- Click Add New Column to insert more (up to six per row).
Adding Content to Columns
- Click the + button inside a column to insert elements (text, images, buttons).
- You can also nest columns inside other columns.
3. Customizing Columns
- Resize columns by dragging the blue handlebar or setting a percentage width in Column Settings.
- Reorder columns using the arrow buttons in the settings toolbar.
- Delete a column by right-clicking or selecting the Delete button in the toolbar.
- Duplicate columns to copy content and structure.
4. Styling Columns
- Add Backgrounds – Use colors, images, videos, or maps.
- Apply Borders & Shadows – Enhance design with outlines or drop shadows.
- Link a Column – Set it to navigate to a page, block, popup, or downloadable file.
5. Making Columns Responsive
- On Tablet View, columns still appear side by side but can be resized or stacked.
- On Mobile View, columns stack automatically for better readability.
- Use Reorder Buttons to adjust column positions for different devices.
- If needed, resize or group columns to keep them side by side on mobile.
6. Adding & Using Rows
- Drag and drop a Row element onto the page.
- Rows automatically span the entire width of the page.
- Inside a row, add columns to organize content.
Key Differences Between Rows & Columns
- Rows are full-width and cannot be placed side by side.
- Columns exist within rows and can be resized or repositioned
