Custom Homepage Overview
Content > Pages > Index
The "INDEX" template is your homepage template and is assigned automatically to your home page. In the CMS, your homepage will be titled "INDEX" and cannot be changed.
The "Header Text" field in your homepage can be used to add text over to a header image or background video. If using a rotator, the text will be managed in each rotator item.
Campuses
This campus info is hard coded to display underneath the header area on your homepage, and the campuses are managed under People > Branches.
Sections
The rest of the page is controlled via sections, and the homepage sections function the same way as the "Subpage Default" template.
You can rearrange, remove, or replace any of these sections as you'd like, at the very bottom of the page editor. 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.
