I'm fairly new to Joomla, altough I've build a lot of Wordpress sites. Now, I have a project where I have four sections, like: Homepage - Branches - Products - Partners. They all have a fairly similar but still different layout.

In Wordpress I can make pages like index.php, branches.php etc using custom post types, while still using the same css and js assets.

How can I accomplish this in Joomla? My idea was to make a head template where all the assets are stored. Then I would make three other templates for the other three sections, importing all the assets. Is that even possible? Or is there an other/better solution?

Any help is much appreciated!

You should look for template overrides and yes you can reuse the assets like css, js etc in your Joomla template.

In your templates' index.php you can just reference the common assets:

<head>
    <jdoc:include type="head" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>templates/common/css/style.css" type="text/css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>templates/this_template/css/style.css" type="text/css" />
</head>

Then, using Template styles, you can assign the templates to menu items.
