Hi Ruth,
I suppose that you may try to create different themes and assign them to different site pages with the help of specific plugins for WP

It might help if you grasp that wordpress pages aren't just normal html pages, but made up from various dynamic sections which are combined to make a complete page.
For example
header.php
(the file that contains your header info & logo and usually your main
navigation
.
sidebar1.php
Your primary sidebar (usually on the left)
Sidebar2
Secondary sidebar if used in your theme
Index.php
This file displays your posts as a typical "blog" list
Page.php / Single-Post.php
This file displays the main content of your pages or posts
Footer.php
The file that controls what goes in your footer
Once you understand this and the relationship they have to your web pages you can have fun copying your page.php file for example. Then edit that to leave out the header, footer or navigation if you wanted. Or to display or not display the extra author/date/meta info. Or add some custom words, image or functions. You can then simply add a lttle bit of text to the start of your file which will convert it into a new template which you can then use. Upload it to your theme folder and you'll be able to use your new template in the wordpress template dropdown menu when creating a new page.
If you simply want various widgets to appear or not on different pages, you could try the widget logic plugin. It's very good but you will have to learn a little bit about conditional worpress logic eg. page_is('about') show or hide this widget...
