Editing The HomePage Layout
I am using a theme that I like. I like the basic design (look and feel) and the features. However, I have another homepage (from another theme) that I want to for this current website.
How do I create a new homepage using that?
I know that I would have to code a custom page and I can make that my home page. However, I am not sure where and how to begin doing that.
(can I just take / copy the homepage code from the other theme after buying it and just use that for the homepage)?
I don’t want to do anything that might mess up the whole site.

What about creating a page template or customizing a page and then using that as the homepage?
There is an option in wordpress for doing that. I have done that before.

There are also other options like:
using plugins (including query post plugin)
using widgets
or anything else?

The problem is that, this is a pretty small budget project. It is for a sport team fan site and they don't have a lot of money. However, it is an important project.
How much do you think it would cost to get a custom homepage and a few other custom pages/page templates done?

However, now I require custom made homepages.
What is the best solution for this.
For homepage -> customizing it
-> is it as simple as creating a page template and using that?
Do I have to make php changes or even CSS / HTML changes. Where do I make this?
Do I have to make changes to the style.css, index.php files?
