    Hi there! 👋🏼

    For this, I suggest adding a new template to your site, “Front Page” — it will make your home page stand out, while the rest of the pages on your site will look different (the way you customize the “Page” template).

    💡 Here’s how to create a Front Page template:

    1. Navigate to Appearance → Editor → Templates → All templates
      (direct link: https://antonhodge.wordpress.com/wp-admin/site-editor.php?path=%2Fwp_template%2Fall)
    2. Click on the “Add new template” button (top-right)
    3. Click on the “Front Page” from the popup dialog.
