Column Override

Columns are basic website design elements. They allow you to display your content in chunks that are visually appealing. Web Express has default column settings but each design theme has an option to set the number of columns in the following regions: After Content, After Content 2 and Footer. Each of these regions may be configured for two to six columns. Using context, you have the option to override the site theme column settings on specific pages or sections of your website. You may override the column settings in these regions by page, a content type or even on a layout setting.
