    Hi

    This is my first posting on here and I am just starting to use Genesis for the first time creating a website. I'm using the Business Pro theme.

    I want to customise the contact page and if you view the URL, you can see the Email and Telephone sections that I want to create next to the form.

    My question is should I create custom page template or use functions.php to target the contact page using a conditional. I guess I'm trying to find out best practise or if one method is better than the other in this case.

    Thanks

    Paul

    You can probably just use the new block editor (Gutenberg) and Atomic Blocks to get that look.

    Hi Anita

    Thanks for reply.

    I prefer to try and code it instead of using a plugin.

    Set the page to use sidebar/content layout, then use Custom HTML widgets in the sidebar.

    Hi Victor

    Thanks for your reply. I did as you suggested and also set a class on the body using the 'Custom Body Class' field on the Contact page so I could target that page with CSS and make the content full width (no wrap).
