can we create functionality like these (maybe there are names or better ways of doing it)

• \iqsssectiontitle{this title} or some such that puts this title on the section headings page?
• \iqssthispageempty that for this one page doesn't have anything on the bottom.
• \iqssthispagetitleempty that doesn't have a title at the bottom but has a page number

Something along the lines of iqsssectiontitle could be a good idea.

No title or page numbers can be achieved using the plain option.

You can get page numbers but no title (for an entire section) by setting an empty short title option (e.g, \section[]{Nothing will be shown at the bottom} In the rare case that you want to suppress a section title for a single page you can wrap the frame in a block with an empty starred section, e.g.,

{
\section*{}
\begin{frame}\frametitle{No title in footer}
  The section is empty for this slide, so only the page number will appear in the footer.
\end{frame}
}

the last bit of code above; doesn't work. it prints the word 'section'

I can't reproduce. If the problem persists please post complete reproduction steps. (Also, make sure you have the latest version.)

I've implemented iqsssectiontitle in https://github.com/izahn/iqss-beamer-theme/commit/f7bcb071ca73af3a9c614faabbfa832193f831fb and documented it in the README. I'm closing this now since I think all issues have been addressed, but feel free to re-open if something doesn't work as you expect.
