Landing page
A landing page is generally used as a start page or when there is a lot of information to be displayed, such as an introduction to a topic. The function of the landing page is to provide an overview and guide the visitor on the website. The landing page is not in itself content-bearing, but rather shows how to navigate and where to find content.
A landing page consists of a large picture or color plate, included in-link, navigation to pages via menu links in the form of buttons and promos. On a landing page you can add several promos in width by choosing one of the suggested formats (full width, two, three or fours side by side, one large and four small or carousel), but a maximum of five will be visible in width. If you want to add more promos, simply create additional blocks!
It is always a good idea to make a sketch of your landing page on paper in order to think through your content structure.
