How to Set Your Home Page in Mambo

In this tutorial we will look at how to set your Home Page in your Mambo web site.

When a visitor goes to the URL of your site, eg. www.example.com, the Home Page is usually the first page they visit. The Home Page itself is the first published page located in the mainmenu section of the Menu Manager.

The Home Page is the equivalent to an index page in a static HTML web site. In Mambo terms, your Home Page is the same as your Front Page.

You can set any content item as the Home Page/ Front Page of your Mambo site. All you need to do is create a content item and link to it from the first menu item at the top of the mainmenu.

Even if the mainmenu Module is NOT published, your Home page will still display the Menu Item that is set as the top of the mainmenu list of items.

NOTE: Your Frontpage is NOT the same as the content item set in your Frontpage component. It can be, but only if you set the content item as the first menu item in your mainmenu.
