    Hi, I am building a site with executive pro http://languagetranslationtech.com. The default layout is full-width. I have added a custom widget to the front page and added genesis featured page to widget. This page has a custom sidebar that displays on the page http://languagetranslationtech.com/translation-services/ . I would like this page to appear like this (with sidebar) in the custom widget space on front page while the rest of the front page remains full-width. I believe I have to remove conditions in the front-page.php, but not sure. I have tried several code changes and failed.

    I did create the page with sidebar in html and place it in a text widget. This worked and looked good but was not mobil responsive. Help?

    A side bar is a widget area. You can't place a widget area inside another widget area. You can place widgets in a widget area. Copy the code from the text widget you have in your sidebar into another text widget in your new custom area. Format the widgets in that area through CSS to lie adjacent to each other with their widths the same as the sidebar-content area on the standard page.

    Hi Victor, I have tried several times to adjust CSS code to line up the two files within "Home-Custom" without success.
    I would like a 30% 70% split of the custom area. Is it just adding to this code?
    /* Home Page
    --------------------------------------------- */

    .home-top {
    background-color: #fff;
    clear: both;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding: 10px 30px 0;
    }

    .home-custom {
    background-color: #fff;
    clear: both;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding: 10px 10px 0 10px;
    }

    .home-middle {
    background-color: #fff;
    clear: both;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding: 10px 30px 0;
    }

    .home-middle .widget,
    .home-top .widget {
    float: left;
    padding: 0 2.8%;
    width: 33.33333333333%;
    }

    .home-middle .widget:nth-of-type(3n+1),
    .home-top .widget:nth-of-type(3n+1) {
    clear: left;
    }

    .executive-pro-home a.more-link {
    clear: both;
    display: block;
    margin: 30px 0 0;
    }

    .executive-pro-home .home-cta {
    background-color: #fff;
    color: #fff;
    float: center;
    padding: 20px;
    width: 100%

    }

    .executive-pro-home .home-cta p {
    color: #fff;
    }

    Got it figured out using Brad Dalton's site. Creating Multiple Widgets Inline With Different Widths

    Thanks
