Once you add a section, place your mouse pointer over top area to show toolbar. Click ‘+’ to add a Row which is another basic content element.
Bold Builder allows you to set the row width independently from section’s width. In Edit panel of Row element you can select row width to be 1200px or 1400px, with boxed and wide layout options for content.
You can adjust whether the content will be boxed or wide, and if that will apply to only first or last column, or both.
Note that this feature works best if section is set to wide, and there are two columns in a row.
Here are the options for the content layout. You can find layout examples on this page – Row Layouts.
Once you’ve added Row element, click ‘+’ in Row toolbar to add columns.
From Edit Layout dialog you need to pick wanted layout of columns, e.g. 1/2+1/2 will add two columns with same width.
**Starting from the Bold Builder version 3.0.0, you can set different number of columns on each device (desktop, laptop, tablet, mobile).
Row element is based on Bootstrap’s 12 column grid, and you can have 1,2,3,4,5,6, and 12 columns in a row.
**5 columns feature was added from 3.0.0 version of Bold Builder.
Once you select the number of columns, you can set their width as well.
For example, the following row has two columns where left column is 3/4, and right one is 1/4:
Two new features are added to Column element (from the version 3.0.0.)
2. Second feature is column order which allows you to change order of the columns on different devices.

It can be used to apply new CSS for that one specific element, or to create anchor links.
If you want to apply CSS, add desired ID to the field, for example ‘myID’. Then add CSS code to Additional CSS field in Customize panel. For example:
#myID { color: #fff; }
To create anchor links navigate to the Bold Page Builder and edit desired section. Insert in Custom Tab Element ID attribute:
Then in Appearance > Menus add a new Custom Link and as a URL insert custom ID atribute with #.
For example: #about
Here you can add existing class to apply its CSS to the section, or create new class with different CSS. If you want to apply custom CSS, add desired class name to the field, for example ‘myClass’. Then add CSS code to Additional CSS field in Customize panel. For example:
.myClass { color: #000; }
First thing you need to do in order for the color schemes to work is to define Accent and Alternate color. This is done in Settings > Bold Builder on your dashboard.
Then you can select desired color scheme within element, in Design tab.
*example from section
Here is a breakdown of what each color scheme does:
*Note that when section has background image or custom background color, color defined as background color within color scheme will not display.
The above examples refer to section, row, and column elements.
If the color scheme is defined in, for example, Headline element, it will affect superheadline, headline, and subheadline text. Subheadline and Headline will be first color of color scheme, and superheadline will be second color of color scheme.
In case of Button element, first color in color scheme will be the color of text, and second one will be background color.

If you need to apply CSS code to just one particular page, you can do that by adding the code to Custom CSS field.
Custom CSS field is located at the top of the page, just under the page title.
Once you click on the field, the pop up will appear, and that is where you can paste your code. When you add CSS code, click on the save button.
When the CSS code is added to the field it will display in blue color.
