Hello I would like to use a page for the homepage instead of using posts. I believe that the current posts on homepage is affecting my SEO - thank you
Hi there,
create a new Page for your home page.
And then set this as your home page in Dashboard > Settings > Reading.
Thanks for your response, I know that bit my problem is how have an actual homepage setting/template. I don’t want the home page looking like a post or page. Many thanks.
Sorry have you figured this out or we are all good here?

No I haven't, was wondering if you guys had a template page for that theme. I know all about the settings - reading but I was looking to get a guide on how to build the blocks using css.
Sorry for which theme?
All the templates available are listed here:

Let me know :)
I meant a template for a frontpage. I need to have a frontpage and i know how to set that in - Dashboard > Settings > Reading.
My question is how do design the page - when i choose a post or page - it turns out looking like a post or page rather than a homepage.
My question is how do design the page
That's a tough question for us to answer as we don't know the design you have in mind.
Can you provide an example?
Sorry i am not explaining myself properly, if you take a look at my website-HOMEPAGE you would see that it has posts. Basically i am looking to change that to a hompage and not a page with posts.. I know that the settings can be activated at Dashboard > Settings > Reading but how do i go about having a proper homepage and not one that displays like a page or a post.
You can just create a new page with your design, then assign that static page as your homepage at Dashboard > Settings > Reading.
