At TEMS Tech Solutions (TTS), we create custom page templates tailored to your website’s specific needs, ensuring unique functionality and design for different sections of your site. These templates enhance the user experience and streamline content management.

Key Steps in Developing Custom Page Templates:

1. Identify Template Requirements:

• Analyze the specific needs of the pages, such as homepage, blog, portfolio, or landing pages.
• Gather functionality requirements for each template, including custom layouts, widgets, forms, or dynamic content areas.

2. Create Custom Template Files:

• In WordPress, create PHP template files for each custom layout under your theme folder (e.g., page-custom.php).
• Use WordPress template hierarchy or assign templates via theme settings for easier management.

3. Custom HTML Structure:

• Design the HTML structure to reflect the page’s unique layout.
• Incorporate sections such as headers, content blocks, sidebars, and footers based on the wireframe or design.

4. Integrate Dynamic Content:

• Use WordPress loop functions to display dynamic content such as posts, custom fields, or user-submitted data.
• Implement custom query loops if specific content types (e.g., custom post types or taxonomies) need to be shown.

5. Custom Styling (CSS):

• Write custom CSS for each template to ensure consistent and responsive design across devices.
• Use grid layouts, Flexbox, or CSS Grid for flexible content positioning.

6. Custom Widgets and Shortcodes:

• Develop custom widgets or shortcodes for easy insertion of dynamic content or interactive elements.
• Example: A custom widget for displaying financial reports or interactive charts.

7. Responsive Design:

• Ensure all custom templates are fully responsive and optimized for various screen sizes.
• Test for mobile, tablet, and desktop layouts to ensure a smooth user experience.

8. Testing and Review:

• Test custom templates to ensure they work across different browsers and devices.
• Review content population, interactive elements, and page load speed for optimization.

Example Custom Templates:

• Homepage Template: Custom layout with featured content, call-to-action sections, and dynamic sliders.
• Portfolio Template: A grid-based layout to showcase case studies or projects, with sorting and filtering options.
• Landing Page Template: Minimalist design focused on lead generation with a prominent form and CTA buttons.
• Blog Template: Custom blog layouts with featured posts, categories, and dynamic sidebars.
