They provide a structured way to group content, ensuring consistency across your site and allowing for sophisticated page designs without extensive custom coding."

Hemera-Theme ships with four containers:
1. two column container
Creates two columns each with their own block-area. On mobile devices the left column stacks on top of the right column.
The content is vertically centered. (not possible with grid-area-layouts)
--> Handle = two_col
2. two column reverse stacked
Same as the two column container. Except on mobile devices the right column stacks on top of the left column. (reverse stacked)
--> Handle = two_col_reverse_stacked
3. two column cta
This is meant to be used as a call to action element.
--> Handle = two_col_cta
