Having a really hard time aligning items. I think in an effort to be complete the coders REALLY complicated the interface. There are 15 display styles and 5 alignment types yet none function as I would expect and I have coded over 350 sites over the years. Are there articles on where to use what alignment and display? I have been searching all morning for how to do very specific things and the results I see are no where near what I searched. I have spent over 30 hours trying to learn your system and have received a lot of support but I am really struggling to understand the interface.
My specific question is how to align text under NOT BESIDE a headline. Perhaps the answer is so simple there is no documentation. Please tell me how to do this and then provide direction on display and alignments generally.

Hi there,
The style options have the same name as the CSS properties.
For example, if you want to know what each value means for display, you can simply check the
displayCSS.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Reference/Properties/displayYou should be able to find every GB style option on the website above.
And can you link me to the page wher eyou want the text to align? And let me know how you want it to be aligned.

The page is: https://stg-conciergecared-stagingsite.kinsta.cloud/?page_id=2 I want it like so
Headline
Text -
Should I set display and alignment on the individual element or on the container? Also is it best practice with GP to put items in separate containers or just align in one.
For example I have Headline and text on left and then image on right. Should I use one container or three?
-
If you want the text below the headline, select the parent container, set its
displaytoblockinstead offlex.If you want to keep the parent container to
display:flex, then you can also set the parent container’sflex-directiontocolumninstead ofrow. -
ok that guide helped some. I have always used “block” and just assumed that was the default but for GP it is not. I do not want to keep harping on the cludgy nature of the interface but I will say it took about 45 min to become totally proficient with Break Dance enough on that.
I have a new concern. While I have been practicing I have never looked at the mobile version but I did just now and it looks really bad. I expected GP would auto size for tablet and mobile and then I could make small adjustments, but this was not the case. do I have to rebuild our entire site 3x or am I missing some settings that auto size. If the former then we have to find a new builder we just do not have time to build 3 sites.
I hpe I am missing something and this is easy.

just assumed that was the default but for GP it is not.
GB block’s default
displayfor a container block isblock.For the mobile layout, it depends on how you build your desktop layout. If you build your desktop layout smartly, like avoiding the use of static
width, then it will be much easier to adjust the mobile layout.If you can link me to a page you are building, I can help you build a section of a mobile layout. Let me know!

You have been very helpful but I need a visual designer as I do not have time to learn a new system. Our 30 days was up over the weekend. Will the company honor a refund request 3 days late?
