Getting Started

There are, of course, many different ways one can approach building a website. However, the most common is to start with the Homepage. There are 2 types of Homepages in WordPress: static and dynamic.

Static homepage displays the content you added to one specific page while the dynamic automatically lists all your blog posts chronologically.

Static Homepage: the demo website of the "Bricksy" theme features a static homepage.

To start creating your front page navigate to the Pages, create a new page and name it (in the demo we named it "Home").

By default WordPress on the Homepage displays your latest posts. If you want to set the page you created as your homepage just navigate to the Settings>Reading and instead of the default "Your Homepage Displays: - Your latest posts" select "A static page" and from the drop-down choose the page you created.
