Good Scrollable Page format with code editing

It is a fresh take on the typical wordpress page. The homepage shows a full screen header image with the title and description, as you scroll down the content covers over the image. Sharp! Other pages show a typical long header image. You can setup the homepage to show content from up to 4 other pages below the home page content making the scrollable format. It shows up nice on both computer and mobile devices.

One large problem is the “2 column” format. The page title is the only thing that will show up on the left. Sidebar is not available on any page other than a news page. Frustrating, if you ask me. If you select 1 column format, the title is displayed inline, but has a ton of whitespace at the top before the content. There are plugins to remedy some of the screw ups, but it is better to create a child theme and directly edit the code in the page.php, functions.php and front-page.php to allow for sidebars to come back.
