The HD Professional Layout
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1450039785951{padding-top: 20px !important;}”]
The best part of the professional layout is the ability to create sections within your pages.
This helps break up content so users are not looking at one long page of text and getting mentally fatigued which may lead to them hitting the back button.
