Should I create a template for all different layouts?

    Hi all,

    If I was working on a complex website with numerous different layouts and sections…. eg taking something like this demo-site and making it work with WordPress. Assuming page-builders are not an option, whats the best approach?

    Is it a case of building custom templates for all these pages, and using something like Advanced Custom Fields plugin to build components which can be called in these templates? In this case wouldn’t I be building LOTS of templates? I’m not that experienced in WordPress development but I can’t think of a better way of doing it. Is it normal to have so many templates on a project like this?

    Thanks,
    Joe

    If client has provided specific design and you have complete HTML with you (converted from PSD), then you can go with custom templates and ACF plugin.

    The demo link you have shown in example, is a custom theme which might be mostly build on any page builder. If client is happy with any ready made theme’s design / layout and there are least chances of changing the code or structure, where you just need to change content, change the position of elements, then you can go with ready made themes.

    If you have custom design, then it’s bit tedious or say time taking to merge your html in ready made theme or template. If you don’t want page builder option and you have specific design with you, yes you can go with the approach of creating custom templates with ACF plugin.

    Hope this helps.
