How do I design a new static front page to replace existing static front page.
-
I have a fully running site with a static homepage (starsphinx.com).
I need to make a new homepage due to the addition of a new type of product which will be an almost completely separate market. The rest of the site does not need to be changed. My problem is I cannot see what the new page will look like as a home page because it displays as a “normal” page.
So my home page currently is a full-screen slide show with the menu down one side. Ordinary pages are a background image with a menu on the left and content-box on the right
The new page needs to be full screen with different slides possibly no menu and 2 large buttons one for “Art” which will lead to a subdomain, and one for photography which will lead to the current home page.
I create a new page and add buttons – but in preview it is an ordinary page not a homepage (and yes I have set the page to homepage template) – so I cannot set about creating slides, and the buttons appear in a content box on the standard background image.
When I search for creating a new homepage I just get articles on how to set the homepage to a static page in a new install. I cannot create a copy/development site as my site is huge (over 40gb) due to me offering photos for sale. Is there a relatively easy way to work on a new homepage for an existing site that already has one.
