I used RW to create a website a few years ago and I haven’t used RW since, and now I need to update it. I know I can still use RW Classic, but I want to see if I can recreate it in [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/). I am also trying Blocs. I am not finding [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/) intuitive at all, while Blocs seems much more intuitive. I’ve watched many of Dan’s videos but still I’m scratching my head. For practice I am trying to recreate a section of my RW Projects Home Page: ![CleanShot 2025-05-28 at 17.25.50@2x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/e/b/ebd5d063e04fe8d51c4811f2160c852f4715fce5.jpeg) ![CleanShot 2025-05-28 at 17.10.59@2x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/c/a/ca27196d55371a136790fe813bfb501263125883.jpeg) ![CleanShot 2025-05-28 at 17.10.31@2x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/d/5/d5f8ee0a0a67d324ece6e769f937689e6cee2638.jpeg) The components available in [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/) seems sparse. I understand the Container is supposed to be a powerful component, but I am stumped as to how to create a list, or a section with a Header, Photo, and text. Whats the difference between Text and Typography? In RW if I needed a Header, I inserted it, same with a list or other stacks. Obviously I’m no web developer, but I can figure out Blocs and I would like to understand [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/) better too. Can someone recreate the section from my project (or something similar) so that I can see the steps needed to do it on my own? Much appreciated! ---

I tell you what I found most useful. Under Market Place on the left of your screen are a couple of [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/) projects, North Eleven and Fitness. You can open them in [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/) and see how the various parts were put together and how things actually work. Without those examples I might have jumped off the learning curve and gone back to Classic. ---

Consider watching their YouTube video channel, too to learn by example. ---

Hi @Sundogg (@jbyfield and @numericcitizen), Good news! I have put together a short(ish) video that shows how to rebuild the three column block of your website and I have included the project below. [![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/c/6/c61ad84584e006b17403e69e6bac0bca5e252ab5.jpeg "Let's Build: Steve's 3-Column Layout") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJprijDUKmY) 👉 [Open Project in Elements](elementsapp://downloadDocument/pv1OMdnsF495) I hope you find this helpful, and if you have any more questions please don’t hesitate to ask 😊 Happy Weaving! * * * I know I’m biased, but one thing that struck me while re-building your page was the difference in the [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/) editor compared to the old way of building your site in Stacks. The contrast is quite stark… ![stacks-vs-elements](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/1/d/1dc76bca3ac7736b03b0f747e8c3139e051361a6.jpeg) ---

how do you get the middle section wider than the rest like the original page? ---

You’d add more columns to the grid, then set each column to take up different amounts. You could do something like this… ---

Thank you Dan! I am very appreciative of the video you put together for me, it was very educational and informative. I got a good chuckle out of your honesty about a couple of things I did that you didn’t care for, I will correct those. Now I will see if I can recreate that section as you demonstrated. Again, thank you for quick and thoughtful response.
