Adjust the text size and weight of your headlines. Remove any default spacing inherited from your theme. - Center the Content
Use the Align items property in the flex container settings to vertically center your content. - Adjust the Spacing
Use the column Gap property of the flex container to add spacing between your elements. Fine-tune the spacing as needed. - Style the Button
Adjust the color, padding, and text alignment of your button. Give it a minimum width and a border-radius. - Set Up the Mobile Layout
Change the flex-direction to column on mobile to create a responsive layout. Adjust the spacing and alignment of your elements for mobile viewing. - Create a Two-Column Layout
For the second CTA, create a two-column layout using another Flexbox container. Add your headlines, text, and button to each column. - Style the Two-Column Layout
Adjust the sizing of your columns, add a border, and tweak the spacing. Make sure your layout looks good on all screen sizes. - Add a Badge
Create a new container for a badge, add a headline block, and style it as desired.
