Designing Your Homepage [Website Builder] Follow
The Homepage Page Designer allows you to control what content appears on your homepage. You can rearrange this content and modify it through thousands of different combinations. See the videos below for a full walk-through.
How can I design my website's homepage?
In Website Builder > Page Designer > Homepage, admins can configure the Homepage template by selecting and rearranging different components to include on the homepage.
There are two columns on this page: Optional Elements and Enabled Elements. Most content modules are optional on your homepage, but you are required to include the Theme Photos/Hero module. A description of each module is included later in this article.
To configure the page template, follow the below steps:
- Select the components you want to display on your website by clicking the green Add button on any Optional element.
- Use your mouse to click on the up/down arrow and drag each component/widget to rearrange on the page.
- Click the red 'X' to remove the component from your template - the widget will be returned to the "Optional Elements" section, which is an inventory of your leftover components that are not included on the page template.
- Use the orange settings icon to customize the content for each module.
- Click the green "Save Website Builder" button to save your selections.
What are the different components that are available?
