Homepage Configuration

Overview

A custom-looking homepage can be easily built through creative configuration of regular theme blocks and special homepage blocks.

Changing the Page Template

The homepage uses a different page template. To change the template, go to “Document” in the right-hand settings panel. Then go to Page Attributes -> Template and change the template to “Homepage.”

Header

There are two recommended header options for a homepage. Those options include:

  • Floating Box Header: This header displays a still image or silent video footage at 100% of the page width. A callout box can also be laid on top of the imagery with a call-to-action to another page of your site.
  • Split Header: This header displays as a 50-50 split between a still image and text on top of a colored background.

Page Body

The special homepage blocks sit within a container known as a Split Content block. Two blocks can be put in the Split Content block because each block has a width of only 50% of the page.
