Homepage display settings

Your homepage is often the first page that greets your visitors. This guide introduces homepage features and settings for Version 2 Template Websites. 

Editing your Homepage

CMS > Settings > Settings > Homepage

Here, you are able to edit general homepage settings and layouts.

These include:

• Slideshow (main slideshow images).
  

  CMS > Settings > Homepage > Slideshow type > you'll have the following options:

  

  • Selecting ’Fullscreen (images fill the entire window)' option from Slideshow Type reveals another dropdown menu called, ‘Slideshow pagination type’.
    • 'Slideshow pagination type’ allows users to choose either ‘Dots’ or ‘Locations’ as a way for their visitors to scroll between their homepage slideshow images.
      
      • When selecting ‘Locations’, users are able to allocate a label to each slide by either creating a label in the ‘Header Slideshow’ or by allocating a location record to an exhibition, which has been selected as ‘Show on home page’
• Layout (header and footer).
• Enable button backgrounds. This setting will add background colour to buttons on your slideshow.
• Splash screen. This can be a great way to introduce your website, when visitors first arrive at your site.

Here, you can edit items that appear on your homepage, including:

• Visibility, such as access control (password or username protection) and whether to 'Show on navigation'.
• Slideshow images and Heading overlay text.
