 * Hi guys,
 * I hope you’re all doing great.
 * I’m building a website for a family member but my coding knowledge is pretty 
   limited.
 * I managed to come up with [this](http://www.kellykazeshome.com)
 * Now, as you may have notice the website take a very long time to load.
    After
   trying to deactivate plugins, install cache cleaner and other stuff, i came to
   the conclusion that the theme i used called “Make” is to blame.
 * When i switch to one of the twenty something theme, the website load way faster.
 * Only problem is, when i try to “clean” the template like i did for the theme “
   Make” nothing works.
    On “Make” i was able to display:none the header, footer,
   sidebars and also put .content in full width by inspecting the elements in google
   chrome, getting the id or class name, and applying my display:none to it in my
   child theme. Doesn’t work on the twenty’s themes.
 * Now, since i barely use the theme as a support for my website and not using any
   of it’s features, is there a way to “port” my website the way it looks now to
   another theme where i won’t use any of it’s features as well.
 * Or, can you tell me if there is a way to clean up the “Make” theme to just make
   it become a simple “support” for all my plugins and css, without messing anything
   up since i definitely don’t know what s going in most of the .php and .js files(
   my knowledge goes as fas as HTML and CSS and even then i’m not a pro…).
 * If i lose stuff like text or link colors or if i have to rearrange some of the
   aesthetic, it’s fine as i’m using visual composer to make it easier for me and
   my friend (who doesn’t know crap about building a website).
 * Thanks a lot for your help guys !
