Re: Moving old outdated webpage to wysiwyg.

I used to be a Serif WebPlus user before moving to WWB a few years ago. The major difference to me was learning to use responsive layout objects instead of a true wysiwyg program like Serif. It was well worth the time it took to learn WWB. No more multiple layouts to accommodate phones or odd sized ...

Re: layout grid section

You could make two layout grids, one with 3 columns and one with two and use the on click/toggle the grid you want to hide after the click. You could also make two grids with 3 columns but layout the one you want to show after the click to your liking. Kind of a rough work around but doable.
