title: Homepage template
|
||
|
|
description: The homepage of a website is often formatted differently than the other pages. For this reason, Hugo makes it easy for you to define your new site's homepage as a unique template.

Homepage is a `Page` and therefore has all the [page variables][pagevars] and [site variables][sitevars] available for use.

{{% note %}}
|
||
|
|
The homepage template is the *only* required template for building a site and therefore useful when bootstrapping a new site and template. It is also the only required template if you are developing a single-page website.

## Homepage template lookup order
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See [Template Lookup](/templates/lookup-order/).

|
## Add content and front matter to the homepage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The homepage, similar to other [list pages in Hugo][lists], accepts content and front matter from an `_index.md` file. This file should live at the root of your `content` folder (i.e., `content/_index.md`). You can then add body copy and metadata to your homepage the way you would any other content file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See the homepage template below or [Content Organization][contentorg] for more information on the role of `_index.md` in adding content and front matter to list pages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Example homepage template
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following is an example of a homepage template that uses [partial][partials], [base] templates, and a content file at `content/_index.md` to populate the `{{ .Title }}` and `{{ .Content }}` [page variables][pagevars].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{{< code file=layouts/index.html >}}
|
||
|
|
{{ define "main" }}
|
||
|
|
<main aria-role="main">
|
||
|
|
<header class="homepage-header">
|
||
|
|
<h1>{{ .Title }}</h1>
|
||
|
|
{{ with .Params.subtitle }}
|
||
|
|
<span class="subtitle">{{ . }}</span>
|
||
|
|
{{ end }}
|
||
|
|
</header>
|
||
|
|
<div class="homepage-content">
|
||
|
|
<!-- Note that the content for index.html, as a sort of list page, will pull from content/_index.md -->
|
||
|
|
{{ .Content }}
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div>
|
||
|
|
{{ range first 10 .Site.RegularPages }}
|
||
|
|
{{ .Render "summary" }}
|
||
|
|
{{ end }}
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
</main>
|
||
|
|
{{ end }}
|
