Enterprise Pro – Make Home-Top 2 Columns

[paulag01]

Hi there,

Dealing with a client who said "let's use this theme" but now wants to deconstruct it. I know how I would accomplish what I want to do in genesis sample child, but can't backtrack that far.

What I am trying to do is for the home page and home-top widget area - I would love to split it into 2 columns so that it will behave more properly on mobile and for changing sizes of text given that they want a background on left side, image on right.

The content does not relate to a page (and they want the search bar in there) so I can't use the Genesis Featured Page as is default behavior.

What is my easiest way of accomplishing this? I was perplexed because home-top isn't a 2 column widget area (or I would tinker with that in functions.php)

Is it using Home-Bottom instead and making that 2 columns? And if so, how do I identify column 1 to do the background?
Or splitting home-top?
Or something I am not even thinking of.

If someone can help me escape the madness of my own mind, much appreciated.

You can use Genesis column classes in a text widget. http://my.studiopress.com/tutorials/content-column-classes/

Is there a way to add the search widget within that so it stays inline in column 1? That's a deal breaker there. Shortcode to use in text widget?

I thought of using the 2 columns in text widget but appreciate the confirmation.....

Will need to adjust padding, etc. but looks like it just might work.

Thank you for your time Victor.
