This tutorial is for Squarespace 7.1 sites, not 7.0 sites like Brine or Bedford.
If you are using a Brine site, check out this tutorial for info on creating a split-screen layout on a single page: https://youtu.be/f7cLdU3nNXI
Aaaaaaand if you have no idea what that means, read up on what version you are using in this article because it makes a big difference in which codes will work for you! https://insidethesquare.co/theme-families

This tutorial will show you how to create a split section layout in a 7.1 Squarespace website. We are going to create one that is an image on one half and text on the other, another version with a solid color, and a third version that lets you scroll thru a big amount of text on one site, often called a split page layout. A few important things to note before you copy and paste this into your own site:
+ There is more than one way to do this! This is just one approach of many because code is super customizable.
+ The codes I am using in the tutorial, and pasting below, reset the split layout options on mobile because a split-screen on a small device can get a little too “squished”. If you want it to stay half screen, remove the line that starts with @media…
+ I want to encourage you to play around with the percentages and other values! I recommend using vh (view height) vw (view width) and percentage to keep it responsive, but try any value type you want.

→ Don’t know the section id?
You can replace the [data section id”=”123456789”] part of the code with #page to isolate just the sections on the page, not footer sections.
@media only screen and (min-width: 768px){
#page .section-background {
width:50%!important;
margin-left:50%!important}
→ Have a lot of content?
Use this code to create a vertical scroll, showing the image at full screen height but allowing the user to scroll through the content.
@media only screen and (min-width: 768px){
[data-section-id=”123456789”]
.section-background {width:50%!important;
margin-left:50%!important;
overflow-y:hidden
}
[data-section-id=”123456789”]
.content-wrapper
{margin-left:50%;
height:100vh;
top:5px !important
}
