Multiple sections in home page – how to implement?

    Hi there. Amateur WordPress Developer/Designer here, trying to learn more & get better.

    Problem: Every WordPress theme I try, the home page layout components are identical – a header, main content (several posts either in full, excerpts, or title-only), a sidebar and a footer. But then I see other WordPress-based websites, and they have multiple sections of content, e.g. WP Beginner, This is Your Kingdom… How do they do that?

    If possible, I’d like to know the answer on two fronts:
    1) the standard plugins, frameworks etc. the WP community uses to achieve this.
    2) the top-level PHP programming required to pull this off, so I know what’s going on in the back.

    This is Your Kingdom is particularly interesting because, aside from a beautiful-looking website, it uses two different types of sections – the top & middle sections (“Discover lovely things…” & “This week we’re…”) collect 3-6 posts and display their featured images & titles, but the bottom section(“Get to know…”) seems to collect pages!

    You need to find a theme like that which includes page templates with different layouts.

    Genesis includes 6 different layouts with different columns, sidebars and content area widths.
