Different page layouts for different pages

    Here’s a link to the site I’m working on for reference: http://eliteathletic.com.previewdns.com/

    I need help figuring out how to develop the site so the individual pages are different than the home page. I know about using templates, but for what I’m doing I’ll need a whole different layout for the pages as opposed to the home page. If you look at the site, the home page has a lot of buttons, seperate content sections, etc. that I want only on the home page. The individual pages just need to be a content block that stretches the width of the page. I’ve downloaded the plugin ThemePerPage, but I’ve heard it no longer works properly? What is the best way to achieve this? Please help!

    that is what templates are for – page templates http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Page_Templates

    possibly combined with body_class() http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/body_class

    I guess I’m just not that good with coding then.
    So if I create a new template, do I need to re-code the size and position of the content sections, etc?

    i thought you wanted this different on individual pages (?)

    if you want it the same, there is no point using a different page template.

    unless you want just simple css changes – then look into unsing body_class() http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/body_class

    No, if you look at the link I posted my content section is down a bit and to the left. On the home page, there are several different elements that WILL NOT carry over to the other pages. The content section needs to be in a different area, not just contain different content. The main page has many buttons and other CSS elements that won’t be included in the single pages.

    Figured it out.
    I needed to make a different .css as well for the individual .php files to reference. Thanks!
