Why do some of the pages on your websites look different or have different layouts sometimes?

Well, it's kind of complicated but long story short; I have been working and learning HTML coding for web design and computers for years, since I was in Middle School actually. I absolutely love it and it is a great thing to know, but it can be very time consuming and takes a lot of patience and effort. It can definitely be a lot of work depending on what you are doing and how big your websites can be. So since sometimes I get sick or don't have time to manually put all these links in for the gallery sections or putting work into contact forms and other interactive stuff. You don't even have to completely understand HTML coding (or even if you just get the basics of it) or even if you do know HTML, either way if you do know about it, you would undersatnd how complicated, annoying, time consuming and how much work and patience you need to build websites and design certain pages or make certain effects. It's not so much hard, for me it's a breeze, just the way you have to create or do certain things to achieve the result you want can definitely be take time and effort. So certain newer web host sites that I have found have actually been revelutionary for people like me who make websites or use HTML and even people who have no experience or no idea how to create a website.
For example, this web hosting site that I am using for this FAQ section, Wix.com is one of my favorite newer web hosting sites that allow anyone to easily create and design their own websites and they even include awesome special effects and animations that would be very difficult to do with HTML or take a lot of time and effort and usually isn't supported by certain web hosts anyway. Wix also makes it very easy and quick to upload images and make galleries for your website so I don't have to manually create thumbnails and link them to my images then worry about my image hosting stie possibly not working or broken links. Anything you can think of for a website, Wix for the most part definitely has it or supports it and it's free! I definitely am in love with this web design and hosting site and have been quite addicted to it...
Also another reason I make my pages and layouts different for my certain sections of my website is because I do like to switch it up at times and be different. And to get the result and effects I'm looking for at times, it usually is necassary. For example, how I had mentioned about Wix making it a lot easier for me to create my websites and web pages and I don't have to use up all my time and lose my patience since it's usually very quick and easy. Well I had mentioned about posting images and making galleries, so when I seen Wix.com made it easy to make cool and elegant looking galleries and designs (and like I said all I have to do is upload the images and it's super fast and simplier than doing it from scratch with HTML), I decided to make my gallery section of Ashlee In Wonderland and for some of my other websites/blogsites through Wix since it's so much quicker and easier and I can make it still look amazing! So it's so much less stressful on me and it's pretty fun to use some of the tools and effects Wix supports...
Another quick example before I finish up this post is on my Tumblr blogsite. If you go to the 'Ashlee Taylor' section in the navigation menu on my Tumblr site, it will take you to an about me and informative section which I did change the layout and design for that specific page. I kind of had to change it to get the final result and effects I wanted for it because I used HTML coding to make little pop up sections that had different categories for every little pop up section or when you hover your mouse over a certain category/section, the little page pops up and drops back down when you're done. I thought it was absolutely awesome and came out amazingly! Lol. So sometimes it's good to swtich it up and change things and I usually do it to make it easier or when I don't feel like completely starting from scratch with HTML coding.
