home.php help – want to add text under image

Hi. I have successfully edited the home page to get rid of the text over the image, stop the scrolling and also remove the widgets (which I don’t need for my simple site). I’m left with a very simple php page. I want to add a text box below the image – I just want to add a paragraph under the image to explain what my site is about. Can Daniel or someone tell me how to write the php script? I have already tried to add text, but the problem is, it runs over the footer – the footer won’t move. Obviously not familiar with php. Any help is greatly appreciated!! Here is my current home page script:

<?php
/**
* Front Page with Featured Content
*
*
* @file home.php
* @package Pilot Fish
* @filesource wp-content/themes/pilot-fish/home.php
* @since Pilot Fish 0.1
*/

get_header(); ?>

<div id=”featured” class=”hidden-phone”>
<div id=”banner-text” class=”span12″>

<?php get_footer(); ?>
