      • Default Template

        This is the template that will be used by all pages by default.

      • Home

        The home page is divided into three sections.

        The top section shows the slider.

        The middle section pulls content from the latest posts in the blog and displays the content from the editor.

        The bottom section shows the entries information from Home Page Settings custom panel.
