 * Hi all! I am attempting to create images to replace some bulky text on my hompage
   with a hover effect so that the text will show when the image is hovered on. 
   Check out my homepage:
 * [http://www.asjcleaning.com](http://www.asjcleaning.com)
 * The three main buckets under the slider are populated by menus and are driven
   by widgets. The styling for these widgets is also used internally in the site
   but I only want to have this implemented on the homepage.
 * I am new to wp development and have started taking a lot of online courses but
   I am stumped here. Not sure if I should use java or css and of course trying 
   to figure out if I need to simply update the style.css file to include this functionality
   followed by updating the homepage template with the call or if I need to dig 
   into any php etc.
 * Any help is much appreciated!
