class="feature-link-with-image feature-link-1" 
style="background-image:url('http://www.example.com/images/my-background-image.jpg')">

Do the following to edit the layout and add new images to your homepage:

1. Navigate to RiSE > Page Builder > Manage layouts.
2. Make a copy of the Three33-33-33OverOne-FullWidth layout and open your copy.
3. Rename the copy so it is easy to identify.

4. (Code tab) In the Layout code area, change the background image using inline styling on the FullWidthArea div you want to change. For this example, you need to change FullWidthArea-StyleBg2 and FullWidthArea-StyleBg4.

For example:

<div class="FullWidthArea-StyleBg2"
