Title: Style Sheet Coding Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Style Sheet Coding * [moeryan18](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moeryan18/) * (@moeryan18) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/style-sheet-coding/) * Hi Everyone, * I am creating a website where I want the index page to be designed differently than the secondary pages. How do I separate the CSS code for the index page from the rest of the CSS code? Do I just separate it out with comments? * Sorry, I am just not sure how to organize the coding. * Thanks for your time!

I know it’s a really basic question, but it’s my first website I’m trying to do with WordPress and I’m basically styling/designing from scratch. * Much appreaciated! * Moderator [Jose Castaneda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jcastaneda/) * (@jcastaneda) * THEME COFFEE MONKEY * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/style-sheet-coding/#post-3236112) * One way of doing it would be creating two different stylesheets and loading them through a conditional test. Not sure if you are PHP savvy but that is one way. Using comments is also another way of separating the code and is a great way of documenting why you did what you did for future reference. * Thread Starter [moeryan18](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moeryan18/) * (@moeryan18) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/style-sheet-coding/#post-3236118) * Hi Jose, * No I’m not very PHP savvy, only slightly familiar…thanks for the tip though, I will maybe learn in the future. Thanks again!
