Hi!
https://jennykanevsky.com/
Is there a way to modify/add CSS to cause a widget area to stay in one position on the page in mobile but still be otherwise responsive?
Specifically on this page, https://jennykanevsky.com/, the "copywriting with vision" widget text is in the right position on desktop but moves down on mobile.
I tried "position: absolute;" but the way I added it didn't do anything.

With all the different mobile devices, it will be hard to keep the text in the right position. The text looks a bit small on my end on laptop. But you'd have a much better user experience if you created the words in the image.

I think she'll have to decide which option she prefers, either a non moving text or adjustable text but not in the exact position she wants.

I always try to look at the Google Analytics of a clients' site to see where their traffic is coming from. If the majority of the traffic is coming from smaller to medium sized devices, then I'd say code it for "their best viewing experience".

September 9, 2019 at 9:08 am #493472AnitaCKeymasterThe home page is not driven by blocks, but by widgets. So the containers are a mute point for this. You need CSS for the widget. If the home page was built with blocks then what they suggested in Facebook would have been an option.

Thanks so much for the help!September 9, 2019 at 9:30 am #493474AnitaCKeymasterThe only thing I can see maybe doing that's not a lot of work would be to create another widget area below the home image that only shows up on mobile. You could "hide" the text widget over top of the image on smaller devices and let that hidden widget show up. It would be hidden on desktop. You can do with Widget Options but you need to create the new widget area.
