Page Designer is frustrating.

So after spending incredible amount of time trying to do a custom layout using Page Designer.

I can say, I truly hate this product. The Page Designer documentation is way to simple with

only elementary examples. Without a knowledge of CSS grids its impossible to know what the hell

to expect when making changes. The minute I think I know whats going on. I attempt to make a change,

and then something dumb happens. So I start again. What the hell is the difference between the 6 grid

options? You need to take some time to more explain in detail whats going on when selecting the

a grid option and what can and can't be done under each option. Create a video or tutorial

creating at least 1 custom complex layout. It may answer many question. Close but not quite there

for me. So far a waste of money and time.

The page designer is very flexible and can accommodate most any reasonable layout needed for 95% of all line-of-business web applications. If you want something that is totally custom, then PHPRunner may not be the right tool for the job.
It would help if you posted an example layout of what you are trying to achieve and let the folks on this forum help and advise you.

If you were having issues using Page Designer, why didn't you contact the support team with your questions, or at the very least watched videos at PHPRunner Tips and Tricks channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGly4nw_dkdHhdjTuto6urg
It is hard to tell what is the exact trouble you experiencing or how the knowledge of CSS grids it is relevant here. My guess is that this tutorial will be useful:
