With BA Tours you will have nice wide and clean landing page. To get full advantage of this and present your Homepage in the best possible way you can use plenty of build-in theme shortcodes listed below.
By default, WordPress shows your most recent posts in reverse chronological order on the front page of your site. To create the static front page:
- go to the Pages > Add New menu, add shortcodes in the content area and publish new page
- then go to Administration > Settings > Reading panel, set Front page displays to a static page, and in the drop down menu for Front Page select your page.
If you are not familiar with using WordPress shortcodes, please follow the Shortcode section of the official WordPress Codex.
