Coding your own div thing?

    Hey guys,

    I’m new here (both to wordpress and this forum) so I apologize if I’m posting in the wrong place or asking a silly question.

    I want the home page of my website to be a responsive full-screen div of this gem:
    http://codepen.io/saransh/pen/BKJun/
    (with some stuff on top of it of course, but I want that to be the background)
    And then some stuff below it (like normal page content when the user scrolls down)

    I just don’t know how to do that, to code the div since I can’t go and code my own site like normal with wordpress. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I am in school for web development, I’m by no means a whiz but I have basic knowledge of PHP, CSS, HTML. I just don’t even know where to start with this. I’m making my first wordpress site now with the hopes that someday I will be good at it 😀

    I am using the cubo theme which has the responsive slider plugin with it in case that matters.

    Thank you!

    changing the look of WordPress is not that hard, but it is done differently to a “standard” HTML page.

    WordPress works on ormally a single CSS stylesheet that’s called style.css in the main folder of your theme. In that folder you’ll also find the template files. These are pretyt much everything else in the theme apart from the functions.php file.

    To get a big of an overview on how WordPress works it’s themes have a look at these resources.
