changes to page

[maz...@googlemail.com]

Hi

I'm making changes to a dynamic site, what I need is the correct methodology to make GUI edits to the search bar place holder in the top right corner and also to widgets which are buttons under a video slider.

I have looked at the stylesheet in in public and the style in assets however any changes here then recompile does not get me where I need to be as the webpage becomes distorted. What tools are available for this ?
