How to divide the web page into sections\divisions?

  • Hi guys, I’m a beginner at WordPress.

    I’m trying to build a theme from scratch (without plugins like Element).

    My question is How to divide the web page into sections\divisions?

    I mean like that:
    https://www.w3schools.com/html/img_sem_elements.gif
    (I already added a navigation menu)

    In HTML I know how to do this with <div> and <section>
    And I want to use as less as plugins as I can.
    I’m trying to learn PHP.

    thanks for the help guys.
    I have searched for a solution without success for hours.

  • it’s the same in a WordPress theme; the html and CSS define the structure, such as sections etc.
    what gets output into those sections is then defined by the WordPress functions.

    You place the desired HTML on the appropriate theme template. Typically, only the front page template would have predefined sections. Users can build in their own sections as desired as part of their page/post content for other pages. To have predefined sections on the front page only, name the template front-page.php. However, if a user wishes their front page to be a blog listing and not a “static” front page, such sections may not make sense for them. There ought to be some mechanism to not have predefined sections on one’s front page if so desired.

    You’ll also need some way for users to populate the sections. One of them can be the standard page content, but the others need to be populated from elements the user can manage from the admin area. You can add custom fields, make widget areas, query for certain content, etc.
