Homepage Overview
Navigate to Content > Pages > Index
*Note: You can not change the name of the Index page. The Index.php is your home template and assigned automatically to your home page. This templates operates the same as your "Subpage Fullwidth" template.
The home page (Index) works using various modules and elements throughout Ekklesia. The basics are:
- Header: Logo, navigation and search
- Header area: three options - header image, background video, or image rotator
- Sections: nine fullwidth sections available (utilizing monklets)
- Footer: logo, church information and social media links
Header Area
The header options for your homepage are the same for your subpage templates: static image, background video or image rotator. SEE OVERVIEW HERE >>
Header Overlay
The "Header Overlay" check box will add a color over to your static image or background video. When using a rotator, the "Slide Overlay" check box can be added per slide.
Header Text
With a static image or background video, the "Header Text" field in your page settings can be used to add content overtop of the header spot (ie: text, buttons, etc.)
Sections
The majority of your homepage is controlled by sections, and this area is located at the bottom of the page settings. There are 9 available sections, and five of them are pre-populated with homepage monklets designed for the Sunday theme (more on your Homepage Monklets HERE)
You can rearrange, remove, or replace any of these sections. Leaving any of the section fields blank won't cause an issue - you can choose to make your homepage as long or as short as you'd like.
