Title: Theme-Making Question Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Theme-Making Question * [JamesShijie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamesshijie/) * (@jamesshijie) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-making-question-1/) * Hey all, * I’m getting my feet wet making a wordpress theme. It won’t be for blogging, but will be for a skateboarding website, with separate pages that will be themed differently. It will be a lot like the wordpress.org website, with each “topic” in the navbar going to a separately-themed page. My question is this: What is the best practice to go about doing this? My custom theme has these topics in the navbar: * Home Shops Videos Photos Products Team About * So, I need 6 differently themed pages. How to best accomplish this? (PS, I know this is impractical to do this with wordpress, but that’s what the client wanted, because that’s what he was used to).

It gets easier per WordPress version 🙂 * There are different ways to approach what you want, some simple ways: * 1) Change style via CSS – make sure that [body classes are added dynamically](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/body_class) by replacing regular `` tag with `>` From that alone, there’s a large variety of tweaks you can make to each page in your theme’s style.css via e.g. body.video, body.team, body.shops, etc. * 2) Change layout via [Page Templates](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates) and/or [Category Templates](http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates) Viewing 1 replies (of 1 total) The topic ‘Theme-Making Question’ is closed to new replies. * 1 reply * 2 participants * Last reply from: [@mercime](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mercime/) * Last activity: [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-making-question-1/#post-1655559) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
