How to create a column that takes up half the container

[ad_1]

Hi,

I am not sure if this violates the rule number 9 (please feel free to remove this post if it does). I am not well versed in WordPress, and I am helping a friend with their non-profit organization.

I am trying to create a container with 2 columns to create something that looks like the image below.

How I am trying to approach is to create a container with 2 columns:

1. Set the container background image
2. Add a “heading” box and a “text” box to the left column
3. Set the column background color and lower the opacity

The problem I am having is that I cannot figure out how to make the left column to take up the entire left side like the image below. I have been playing with padding and margin unsuccessfully.

This seems like an easy problem, but I have been stuck for a few hours…

Any help is appreciated. Thank you,

How mine looks:

EDIT: I am using Blocksy Theme, Stackable, and visual editor.
