Hi,

Hoping someone can assist but I am currently teaching myself WordPress and working on my own CMS site.

My site will consist of approx 5 pages where the header/sidebar menu/footer will be seen on all these 5 pages.

Newbie here and questions are as follows:

1) All these 5 pages will consist of different content, for example, every page will have a image banner representing the menu option just clicked, for example, "About Us" on page 5, "Promotions" on page 4 etc and then some text beneath that and then possibly some images inside a carousel set up.

Within WordPress, how would I tackle this, i.e. do I just create a page in WordPress, position the banner image at the top of the page, then have a few breaks and then insert the carousel of images - is this correct?

If not, do I need to create a separate php file called aboutUs.php that has this markup and then somehow link it to a WordPress page?

2) On my landing page of my site ONLY (page 1), just above the footer, I want to display a div section that displays all the sponsors of the website along with a URL to click to their websites - how would I go about doing this in WordPress?

If there are any sites that people know that will somehow answer my queries, pls pass them on.

Thanks.
