10. Editing Your Homepage
The Purpose of your Homepage
Your Homepage is generally the first page a visitor comes to when searching for your content.
Determining Your Website’s Purpose
Before diving into content creation, it’s essential to identify the primary objective of your website. Is your goal to encourage users to register for events or courses? Or is it to disseminate information? Reflecting on these questions will guide you in designing an effective homepage.
Understanding Splash Pages
A Splash Page functions similarly to a special occasion outfit—it’s used selectively. This introductory page appears before the homepage to first-time visitors, highlighting specific events or prompting sign-ups. You can manage your Splash Page in Theme Settings, where the page is set to inactive by default.
In RED, Homepage and Splash Page editing is separate from the other pages. In order to access them, click on their respective tabs within the RED Dashboard (shown to the right).
Just a heads up, you cannot save Homepage and Splash Page edits as a draft – you can only publish your changes live to the site. Inside pages can be saved as drafts.
