Homepages
When you need a modular page, you can create them using Homepages. Homepages are based on the principle of building pages visually using widgets.
Widgets control each block of content on the homepage, and can contain interactive content such as forms, maps, and integration to back office systems, as well as simple content items such as links, images and formatted text.
tip
A report is provided in our Reporting section to identify categories that do not have a homepage assigned as landing page.

If your account has permission to access the homepages content type, you navigate to that management area by the following:
