I´m not a 100% sure I understand your requirement, but here some stuff you might find useful:

If you are using the modern experience, take a look at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/extensions/get-started/using-page-placeholder-with-extensions. PnP provides a lot of samples here: https://github.com/SharePoint/sp-dev-fx-extensions
If you´re using a classic site, there is a possibility to inject scripts on a page using Script Editor Web Part or better, Custom Actions.

All techniques mentioned require a fair amount of coding experience and it all depends on what changes you need to do.

Maggan Wåhlin Thanks! I just need to change one part and that is to make the entire home page background transparent. We have an Office 365 subscription, so sharepoint is the version that is online. I can't seem to figure out how to export the site to visual studio or just edit the code on the web browser. I hit F12 and can find the code and even change it, but cannot seem to get it to save.

Deleted It´s not possible to export a SharePoint site to VS, and you cannot save changes for the developer tool (F12). Design changes (colors, fonts) can be made using https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/declarative-customization/site-theming/sharepoint-site-theming-overview. A theme can be easily applied through PowerShell. However, I´m not sure you can make the background transparent though.
