Need help adding a docking module to either side of page

Joomla webshop template with CSS3-based animations, VirtueMart support and one-page checkout.

I want to include on my site something similar to the ( customize template settings button ) that is shown docked to the left side of the screen when viewing most templates. I want to include a small amount of info like a picture and some words that stays docked to the side of the webpage when you scroll. I would like it to already be expanded when the webpage loads but it can also be closed if needed. I can't seem to figure out how to accomplish this in Joomla. I have no problem creating this in WYSIWYG but I'm fairly new to Joomla and I could use some help.

Thank you :)

I would suggest to create custom module position inside body element, then use override.css to create some styling for this element and custom html module to put content into it.

I've completed the first two steps but I'm stuck on the third and most important step.
I'm not very familiar with how to write up html or php and I don't know what I should be writing in the DEFAULT.PHP file.
It sounds like you know what I'm looking for and the custom html module would be perfect that way I can add what I need to. What code do I need to add to the DEFAULT.PHP and where so that I can have the same effect as the attached picture ?

I have linked our documentation about adding custom module position.
But if you don't know html, php and css - it would be better if you would hire frontend developer do to this custom work for you.
