Page Builder
A page is divided into rows, columns, elements and sections. A section contains rows .The rows can be divided up into columns. Inside a column sit elements. Elements include headings, content, images or forms.
A section is used to describe a grouping of columns or rows that have been used to form a layout device such as a contact form or the Explore our Services panel found on the homepage. The page builder allows you to manage the rows, sections, columns and elements.
