    Hello. I really, really need someone's help with this. On the site that is using the Enterprise theme, I don't know how to make the Home Page have the same background (gray box around the body/text and image) as the other pages of the site. Is it something as simple as changing it to a different layout or does this require coding? If so, can you PLEASE tell me what code to use and exactly where to put it? I would very much appreciate this and am desperate to fix it. THANK YOU in advance.

    Change the body class background color to #F5F5F5 at line 165 in style.css.

    Hi Victor, thank you! I got the background color changed and now I need there to be a white box around the text areas like on the rest of the pages. I apologize for mixing this up earlier and not stating that. 🙂

    Now the home page is like this: http://hdfamilylawgroup.com/

    and I need there to be the white box around the text areas like this: http://hdfamilylawgroup.com/about-us/

    .home-top-left.widget-area.three-fourths.first,
    .home-top-right.widget-area.one-fourth {
       background:#fff;
       padding:20px;
       margin-top:30px;
       border:1px solid #eee;
    }

    Same style.css put it last but not inside the media query.

    You created these divs and the classes are used for styling. Get some developer tools and a good CSS tutorial (TeamTreehouse has videos!) if you continue to do this type of work. You should be able to charge for outside help, like pad each estimate with an extra few hundred dollars to use towards help or pro plugins like drag and drop (like beaver builder) and so forth. That will help you rock.

    Again, that worked beautifully. Any idea how to swap the logo and addresses in the header or will that ruin things?

    Thank you so much again! And thank you for the tutorial advice. 🙂 I appreciate you very much.

    The header is nice and balanced now, if you swap them it will be off balance, you can take a screen shot and move stuff around in Photoshop to see what I mean. Plus you can't really move over the logo between the widgets without going into the functions.php file and do a lot of re-working as far as I can think of, such as unregistering widgets, adding custom widgets, moving the site title hook at a different priority -- yeah really beyond the scope of help on the forum.

    I figured it was something too crazy and complicated. 🙂 Again, I appreciate your help so very much. You're amazing!
