How to fully customize magento homepage
In order to fully customize your magento homepage i will show you 1 simple method. This will help you to make it exactly how you want it.
1) First step is to make your hompage layout empty.
Go to your magento admin area -> CMS->Pages->Home Page , click on design tab (from left), for layout selectEmpty . Save it.
2) Second step is to make the file that will be included in your homepage. This file will contain html code + php code.
Create a new file into your theme in this location: app/…frontend/…/YOUR_THEME/template/page/html/my_custom_homepage.phtml .
Add some content to it. You can add this for testing: <p>This is my custom <span style=”color:red;”>homepage</span></p>
Save it.
3) Now we need to point the my_custom_homepage.phtml file that we have created it above, in the homepage.
Go to admin area CMS->Pages->Homepage and click on the content TAB.
Add this code: {{block type=”core/template” name=”my_custom_homepage” template=”page/html/my_custom_homepage.phtml”}}
This will tell magento to include that file into your homepage.
That’s all. Enjoy.
