Wordpress menu layout quirk

$

Hi

<warning> I'm a Sys Admin helping someone out and know little to nothing about PHP, HTML and CSS! </warning> :eek:

So, the website I've ended up helping out on is for a local visual impairment charity who need a clean layout and is running hosted Wordpress. I've got most the content in and while they think about what else they want and take some pictures, I'm playing about with the layout to get what they want (I can't find a theme which quite does without changes).

The SimpleMarket theme was the closest I could find so I altered the header.php to remove the top menu bar and add in the wpResize shortcode.

They want a traditional left hand navigation menu which I've managed to get in by editing the template-fullwidth.php template file to add <?php get_sidebar(); ?>. However, now that this is in place, the rest of the content on the site gets pushed down below the menu, rather than appearing alongside it. My assumption is that I need some type of PHP to wrap the text around the menu.

My question is, can anyone help me out and let me know what I need to change or give any pointers on what I should read to work it out?

Assuming it would help to see the site and or the current php file: the site is carlisleblindsociety.com and the current template file is as follows:
Code:

<?php
/**
 * Full width page
 *
 * @package SimpleMarket
 * @subpackage Template
 * @since SimpleMarket 1.0
 */
/*
Template Name: fullwidth
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<section id="content-fullwidth" role="main">
        <?php the_post(); ?>
        <?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' );?>
</section>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Cheers
Andrew
