1.3. Setting up the Homepage
To set up the homepage you must create a new page, you can do so by navigating to Pages > Add New.
The title for this page can be up to your liking. Under Settings > Reading please setup the new
Homepage.
Actually you can set any page to be your homepage. Once it’s created you can compose your homepage
layout. The design layout is created under Bootstrap framework which is split into 12 columns grid. Each
widget has its own maximum and minimum widths, so depending on that you can work out the layout
for each page.
As you can see the homepage just like any the page is now 100% constructible out of the modules we
have in Visual Composer. The homepage can be created by any element in Visual Composer.
To view the short manual on how to use the Visual Composer, please follow this link:
