How to Customize a Front-Page for Your WordPress Site

frontpage

The front page of a newspaper typically contains the biggest news stories in a country or region. But, if something very significant happens in some other part of the world, that might find its way to the front page too. It might also tease other stories that are featured elsewhere in the edition.

In casual conversation, people often refer to looking at the back pages of a newspaper or magazine. This can mean that they are referring to less important stories or sections. It can also have a more metaphorical meaning, suggesting that something is being relegated to the sidelines or not getting much attention.

Front-page

A website’s front page can be customized to help its most important content stand out. WordPress enables site owners to do this by creating a static front page or using a customizable template.

For example, in a newspaper or magazine, there may be an advertisement for a new product or service on the front-page. This is an attempt to grab the reader’s attention so that they will want to learn more about what the company has to offer.

Similarly, an e-book author might include a link to their other e-books on the front-page of the book’s web page. This is an effort to entice readers who have already purchased one of the author’s titles to purchase their other products too.
