This documentation page will walk you through the Corporate home page. It’s quick to set up, with most of the upfront work being making sure to have good website content for your visitors.


First Steps

The first and most important steps that you will need to take in order to use the front page template in Creative Portfolio are to create two pages, one for your home page and one for your updates page. Do this by going to Add New → Page and creating a page titled Home and a page titled Updates. These pages can actually be named anything, but for the sake of this tutorial we are calling them Home and Updates.

The Updates page is the easiest to do, so let’s do that first. Go to Add New → Page, type in a title, and click Publish. Here’s the Updates page that we’ve created.

Next add in a new page and title it Home. After you have given your page a title, select Front Page from the list of available Templates to you. This is the most important step for making sure that the page you pick as your home page will be able to display all of the features that come with Creative Portfolio.

After you’ve created both the Home and Updates pages go to your Static Front Page section from within the Customizer and set your Front page and Posts page.

Static front page settings can be chosen from within the Customizer.

 

Once you’ve taken care of these initial steps you can start building out your home page even more.
