    Hi – if anyone can help me, I would be so grateful. I am trying to build a REALLY BASIC website. I used Wonder Blocks on WordPress because I thought it would be easy and it kind of was. But I think I built another version of the site using a Theme…? Anyway – I see 2 different versions of my website show up and I don’t know how to get the version I want to appear. I also need to know how to make it work for mobile. I am a major BEGINNER, so I have not idea what to do…I’ve searched, watched tutorials, chatted with hosts, etc but everyone wants you to pay and I am so dang confused. Can anyone answer a few simple questions without being too technical? THANK YOU SO MUCH!

    Please watch the tutorial and read the documentation.

    If you have any general questions about the process, we’ll be happy to help.

    For one-on-one help or customization, I recommend hiring someone from?https://jobs.wordpress.net/?(and do not accept any hire or direct access offers posted to these forums, as that is against the forum guidelines and not a great way to start a business relationship).

    Ok so I was able to figure out how to put 2 images on the same row (you know what I mean I think).

    So now, I can’t figure out how to insert a sidebar menu under the black head logo. I will watch the video tutorial you sent and see how far I can get. Here’s the screenshot: https://snipboard.io/6txKQH.jpg

    Thank you, again, for your patience and support!

    Just saw your message – thank you. I will watch the video tutorial. I just have some questions about inserting sidebar menus and making them clickable links to other pages on the site.

    Hey James, are you still around? I think I got it!! I just have one last question. Can you tell me what function in the Site Editor I would use to adjust spacing? I tried messing with the margins and pixels in “Layout” under “Styles” but that doesn’t seem to do the trick. Here’s what it looks like: https://snipboard.io/TiEQaL.jpg and I need to move the large image to the left so it nestles in closer to the sidebar menu.

    Hope you had a great holiday weekend and I will DEFINATELY buy you a coffee!

    For that, I’d start with a Columns Block and put it in the left column: https://www.ads-software.com/documentation/article/columns-block/

    Also, keep in mind that, though the Site Editor offers nearly limitless customization, it’s always better to start with a theme closer to your needs. These are all free: https://www.ads-software.com/themes/tags/full-site-editing/

    Thanks! Well now I am a little confused. Based on the screenshot I sent, do you think I’d be better off using Blocks or starting all over with a Block Theme? I though the Bjork theme would do it, but I am not sure.

    Only block themes use blocks.

    Block are components of building sites, and block themes facilitate the use of blocks.

    There are many block themes to choose from, Bj?rk is just one: https://www.ads-software.com/themes/tags/full-site-editing/

    I recommend starting with a block theme that is closest to what you want, so customization is minimal.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I am still having trouble. After combing through hundreds of Block Themes, I am unable to find anything that matches the very basic site I need to build. So that is why I need guidance. This is what I am trying to replicate: https://www.banksy.co.uk/

    As you can see, it’s very minimal. So not seeing any Block Themes that match it, I assumed I needed to use some type of basic website builder where I could set up a top logo, sidebar menu (and corresponding pages) and a main feature image to the right of the top logo and sidebar menu.

    I have reviewed everything you have sent and thought I built it correctly, but now I cannot get each option on the sidebar menu to link to their corresponding page…they all link to the gallery.

    Here’s the front page: https://snipboard.io/xpLo4G.jpg

    Here’s what comes up if I click on any of the links on the sidebar menu (this is only supposed to display under the “What” link): https://snipboard.io/pyTnJg.jpg

    Once I can get the menu options to direct to the correct page, I will be set.

    UNLESS – there are different settings that I have to apply in order to change the way this looks on a desktop and a mobile…ugg, lol.

    PLEASE Help? If you can…

    You aren’t going to find one that’s exact, but look for one that’s close, so you don’t need to customize as much.

    Seeing what you want though, Bj?rk is a good choice.

    Here’s how to use the Navigation Block in the sidebar: https://www.ads-software.com/documentation/article/navigation-block/

    For the rest, I recommend asking at https://www.ads-software.com/support/theme/bjork/ so the theme’s designer and support community can help you with this.
