SOLVED
Hello!
I am stumped and hoping someone with more Marketo skills (i.e. almost anyone) can help. I started with the Homegrown Marketo Starter Template and I have been able to figure out enough - through trial and error - to customize it to our needs almost perfectly. (I have attached a screenshot of the original on left and my customized version on the right if that helps.)
This is a template we will use all the time, but not every instance will call for the CTA button in the top section. And the Homegrown template didn't have a module that fit the parameters. My troubleshooting has led me down these paths, unsuccessfully.
1. Use the Free-image module in the starter template, make it full width (like the Hero2) and add the ability to have text on top. (I want to avoid having the copy in the image itself.)
2. Duplicate the Hero2 module and remove the code that contains the button so with each email, we can just select the appropriate module - the Hero with or without the button.
3. Within the Hero2 module, have a way to remove the button when it isn't needed. I am sure this wouldn't have been considered a best practice if I had gotten it to work, but I tried simply removing the link and call to action, but alas, a small empty button still shows up and I can't turn it transparent.
If anyone has any input or feedback, I'd be grateful. Keep in mind, I am not at all code fluent.
Thank you very much! Also, apologies if i am posting this in the wrong space.

First, thank you so much for responding! Was so happy to see a reply this morning! 😀
And yes, exactly - hide/show the CTA button manually (based on email content) on an email-by-email basis and not on a person's data or anything.
Below, I am showing where I think I would insert what you shared in the template code - can you tell me if I am in the right ballpark? You might not be able to tell since it's only snippets of the code, but I thought I'd try!
Thank you again!
@HP,
you're doing well to get this far given you're not a coder - well done!
Where to insert the meta code for the variable - that's spot on! Stick it in there!
Where to USE the variable. Do it as far up the hierarchy as possible. And you'll only need to do it once.
I've shown (based on what I can see of your code) two possible locations (in red)
Cheers

Hello again!
I am not sure it's allowed to piggyback a new question to this post, and if not, I can start a new one!
I am having trouble making the background image responsive in the same module you assisted me with the CTA button. (Still so excited about that.)
My mistake for not catching this sooner. I assumed it would be already responsive since I started from the HomeGrown Marketo 2.0 template, but it isn't. Or maybe it was and I inadvertently removed some code that affected it while I was customizing with a different image, etc.
I've tried a few random things but none have worked and, like the CTA, this one has me stumped. The code for what I think is the entire section/table is below in case there is any direction or insight to accomplish this.
Thank you!!
