Home Page Essentials

Helpful tips for configuring your home page:

  • Make your contact information, location, & hours easily accessible.
  • Utilize space well; while sidebars are a great place to put blocks, you do not want your visitors scrolling through blank space.
  • Set page display settings for blocks. 
  • Using different blocks on pages will keep your site dynamic.
  • Use an appealing color palette, and brand your site with a logo.
