Your homepage, also called frontpage, is the most visited page of your website and is also the one with the highest ranking in the search engine results. It is worth spending time designing it.

By default in WordPress, the home page is the list of your latest published posts. You can decide to display a page ( also called static page ) instead.

1 - Create a specific page for home

In the admin bar, you can click New Page.
