What it's for: Displaying your website's homepage - the main landing page that visitors see when they first arrive at your site

When it's used: When someone visits your main domain, clicks "Home" in navigation, or lands on your homepage through search engines or direct links

What you can design: Your complete homepage layout - hero sections, featured content, service overviews, testimonials, call-to-action sections, or whatever elements represent your site's main entry point

Appears when: The WordPress front page (homepage) is visited

Examples of when this template appears:​

  • Someone types your domain name into their browser and lands on your homepage.
  • That's your Front Page template.
  • Or when someone clicks "Home" in your navigation menu - they see your Front Page template.
