  With the Premium plan, there is the option to use Styles for general style settings and layout changes, and then adding CSS code for further customisations.

  Thank you for getting back. My friend, who has since passed away, set up the WordPress site. He has his phone # on the landing page, this is what I need to change.

  I should preface my posting by telling you I am a computer and internet illiterate, your reply was greek to me. Would you please be so kind to try and make it easier for me?
