Your public homepage is the main page of your website and usually the first page users will see.
The member homepage will be seen by your members once they log in.
They are both managed in the same way.
Homepages are set up using different sections of content, which you can edit and customise either using our pre-set content or create your own using the page editor.
Content - Add text/images/video content using the WYSIWYG editor
Showcase - Highlight featured content or products/services
Articles - Display your recent or custom articles to appear within your homepage
Each template we offer will have its own style for these sections and you can view a live demo of the templates via the design template tab in the dashboard.
The edit page will display the published sections at the top, and any unpublished sections below.
You can choose to change the position of the sections using the arrows, or edit, un-publish and delete the sections.

Article blocks will enable you to create feeds of content to appear within your homepage. Select 'Articles' from the list of content blocks.
