Customize Homepage?
3 replies · Started by Edin on September 26, 2018
I'd like to move away from the "articles list" home page to a more personalized homepage, like for example this one: https://www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com/ or this one https://www.marieforleo.com/.
Can someone point me to the tutorials I must read to create something like this?
Also, if I now have an "articles list" home page, how can I create a page named "blog" and have the page look exactly like my home page now?
Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
first off - Dashboard > Settings > Reading will allow you to choose where your latest posts (aka Blog) are displayed and you can set a Static Page for your home.
The options for creating a landing page are huge, and depend really whether you are ok with HTML or need to use a pagebuilder.
Some starting blocks i could suggest are:
1. Create a Page Hero - using the Header Element:

1a. Some examples of them:

2. Use GeneratePress Sections to divide the page, add backgrounds etc

3. Adding columns to sections:

4. Use WP Show Posts (another of Toms plugins) to display Post cards:

Awesome! Thank you, this helped a lot!
You're welcome :)
