Replicating Design Layout
1 reply · Started by Saul on April 29, 2021
Hi,
I would like to replicate the following site (also build using GP): https://brandongaille.com/
Specifically, I would like to create a 3 column grid with linkable images and text (below) for each post.
I would also appreciate advice regarding replicating the orange homepage banner (which I think uses GeneratePress Premum’s Sections module).
I have browsed your library of templates and nothing looks similar, so I presume this site has been designed bottom-up.
Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.

Hi there,
so the 3 column post grid - is the themes blog page. If you want that for your home page then:
1. Dashboard > Settings > Reading and set your Home page to display your latest posts.
2. Dashboard > Appearance > GeneratePress and make sure you have the Blog module enabled and the Elements module.
3. Customizer > Layout > Blog - in here you can apply columns and set that to 3, set the image to below title, set the Excerpt to 0 etc.

4. For the 'banner' you can use a Block Element:

Heres a document with video for specifically creating what we call a Page Hero:
