 * Hi everyone,
 * I’m hoping someone will have some advice on this. I have a page with a fairly
   complex layout in the body of the page. You can view it here:
 * [http://beta.yodleefinapps.com/?page=platform](http://beta.yodleefinapps.com/?page=platform)
 * The layout is created with a few divs in the main content area. I want this page
   to be editable by the client in the visual editor in WordPress without having
   to switch over to the HTML view. My concern is that they may accidentally delete
   some of the divs which create the layout when editing the page.
 * I’m wondering if anyone has any creative solutions for how to make this happen?
   I’ve tried shortcodes to create the divs but they keep getting wrapped in <p>
   tags and aren’t always interpreted correctly by WordPress (they end up getting
   displayed).
 * I could also create a custom meta box and have each section of the page be filled
   out in its own box, but this seems like overkill.
 * Any other ideas?
 * Thanks for any help you can offer.
 * -Damon
