Hi there!
A bit of a WordPress newbie here. I am designing a simple website for a small business client and am trying to achieve something that I imagine is a fairly easy task, but I’m totally stumped. Hoping there is some expertise here that can help point me in the right direction.
Essentially, I want to set up a quote intake form and integrate it into the hero image space on my client’s site’s home page — something very similar to the effect achieved on [this site]). I’m really looking for something barebones at this point — a cleanly-styled box that comfortably contains the form fields that I’ve created, that won’t stretch out the overall container space.
To keep things as simple (and budget-friendly) as possible, I’ve resorted to only using the built-in WordPress/Gutenberg editor to build out the site, as other page builder plugins like Elementor have proven to be too klunky / paywalled for my liking, and thus I’ve tried my best to avoid them.
So far, I’ve been able to set up a form with all of the appropriate fields via the Forminator plugin, which offers the basic styling/form elements that I need. The part where I’m stumped is figuring out a way to insert the form (in this case via shortcode) in such a way that it can comfortably fit next to the contents on the right side, as illustrated in this screenshot:
I’m sure the answer has something to do with using a column block, but even when I create a new 2-column block and add the form shortcode into the right-most column, the form expands way beyond a comfortable size, with no perceivable way to create a container box or change the overall size of the form so that it sits like the example linked above. Here’s the closest I’m able to get it:
​
Any ideas on what I could be missing here? I feel like the answer is really obvious. Hopefully this explanation of the problem makes sense — happy to clarify or share any technical info if necessary. Many thanks in advance!
