Two column design

[angslycke]

Hi!

I’m looking for a two column side-by-side layout on my front page (in the content area) and am wondering which would be the best approach? There are no included shortcodes for this in the theme as far as I know, and I haven’t found a working plugin solution yet. Should I try custom CSS and will that adapt to the responsiveness of the theme?

Thanks!

@angslycke try the SiteOrigin Page Builder Plugin, we should have a tutorial about this.

@tjchester Yeah, I tried that but couldn’t get it to work since I’m using a couple of shortcodes that wouldn’t load even though I inserted them in the Visual Editor field they recommend.

@angslycke the problem with creating a two column layout is that there is no logic to determine what to do with the two columns on mobile devices. SiteOrigin automatically takes care of responsive design which is why I recommended that plugin. The only other way is to manually create them and add separate CSS for mobile devices to make sure it looks good on all devices. That’s about as detailed as I can get as this would be custom development.
