    My client doesn’t have the Customization Upgrade so I am trying to achieve this with inline CSS.
    I would like to have a div that expands across the page with a background image. Within this div have two divs floated left and right.
    However, when I put a background colour or image to the parent div it doesn’t display.

    Hi @earthgripper!

    Because your two child elements are floated, there’s nothing in the div to give it height.

    overflow: auto on the parent div should do the trick:

    <div style="background:url('https://paleseptembercomingsoon.files.wordpress.com/2017/02/banner3.jpg'); overflow: auto;">
	<div style="width:70%; padding:30px 20pt 30px 10px; float:left; min-height:190px;">

	<div style="width:30%; padding:30px 10pt 30px 20px; float:right; min-height:190px;"><a class="button" style="text-align:center;" href="https://paleseptembercomingsoon.wordpress.com/contact/">Contact Us</a></div>
</div>

    Let us know how that works – you’ll likely want to play with the background positioning a bit :)
