    So here is what I need to know! Can you create pages that do not correspond to a standard template that I have created with in WordPress? I have created a 3D theme or narrative and on most of the pages there is a standard “nav”, “header”, and “footer” so to speak. However, on two pages there is a completely different layout. One being the home page and the other being a contact area. Is this even possible or am I off my rocker?

    Completely doable.

    You can have as many custom templates as you want.

    Personally, I use the index.php as my home page, but I know some people use home.php. But you can create any template you want, say, narrative.php. Just have to include a bit of code at the top of the template to let WordPress know about it.

    Then when you’re creating your page you’ll have an option to select which template it should be using.
