If your template has featured pages- they will look similar to the below example.
- Featured Pages (on the homepage) can have set text, an image or icon, as seen below: (note, not all templates will have featured pages or images/icons or text with the featured page settings)
You can either:
- By default (unless requested previously during site setup) these featured pages randomly select pages to showcase upon the homepage loading.
- OR, you can set these "Featured Pages" on your homepage to a select page.
How to set Featured Pages:
- Go to "yourdomain.com/admin" to log in
- Navigate to the LEFT side of your screen, and select "Design Options"
- Scroll down on this page until you find "Featured Page".
- Under each "Featured Page" you will find a drop-down menu
- Select this drop-down menu to access ALL pages on your website (by the title of the page), and select the page you would like set for this particular featured page.
The Featured Page will only display ONE page from your website on the homepage.
Images associated with Featured Pages:
Some templates will have an image associated with each featured page. Here is how you select an image along with your featured page:
- While looking at your "Featured Page" Settings, you can select the needed image

- Select "Edit" to crop this image so it fits in your featured page correctly
- If your entire image has no shaded portions (unlike the image above)- then it is the correct size, and you can proceed to "Set Featured Image".
