Learn how to create, adjust, and edit columns to get the look and flow you want for your page’s design.

Columns help you control your page layout by dividing sections into smaller areas where you can place content. They enable you to arrange text, images, and other components next to each other, giving your page structure and balance.

Key details

  • Placement: Columns sit inside sections and define the structure for your content.
  • Layout: Each section can include one to four columns, arranged side by side.
  • Components: Text, images, videos, and other elements can only be placed inside columns.
  • Sizing: The width of a column controls the maximum size of the components inside it.

Add columns to pages

In your Page Builder:

  1. Add a section.
  2. Go to Components > Columns in the left-side menu.
  3. Choose a column layout.
  4. Drag it into your section and drop it over a “Drop Here” area when it turns green.
  5. Repeat as needed to add different column layouts to other sections.
