The website is a collection of different web pages where each page is designed for a specific purpose. The Home page presents the overview of the website while services pages are designed to pitch your services and the FAQs focus on providing support and help to the clients.

Each webpage is designed bearing the primary purpose in mind and thus may not require to feature sidebars, header and footer. As a general assumption, the services/product featuring pages essentially are the landing page of the website and thus need to be designed with minimal elements and the blog on the other hand should be highly interactive and provide relevant post links as featured posts, relevant posts or archives in sidebars and footers. Thus the elementary requirements of each page vary and thus you may at times need to:

1. Remove The Sidebars From Specific Pages (Or Posts)
2. Remove The Header From Specific Pages (Or Posts)
3. Remove The Footer From Specific Pages (Or Posts)
